July 4 Battle Ends Era for Heavyweights in Sight
The Willard Dempsey title bout on July 4 may close the era of strong heavyweight competition for years unless a draw occurs. If Willard wins decisively, few boxers could test him, and even a Dempsey loss would prompt few challengers at $100,000 purses. Opinions split on future matches with Carpentier and other contenders, noting a broader drought of top fighters weakening interest in the division.
