"I Can Whip Any Mechanical Robot"
“. . . nothing mechanical will ever be able to whip an honest to goodness boxer.” “I could tear it to pieces, bolt by bolt and scatter its brain wheels and cogs all over the canvas.”
Pretty strong claims, but understandable considering that the speaker was none other than Jack “Manassa Mauler” Dempsey, one of the greatest boxers of all time, and the year was 1934. His comments, and the reasoning behind them, appeared in the April, 1934 issue of Modern Mechanix.
