I remember reading about Jack Dempsey when he was in his late 70s being the “victim” of a mugger. He knocked the perp out cold.

It wasn't Dempsey. It was Rocky Marciano in the last years of his life.

He had gone into New York from Connecticut by train, disembarked at Grand Central, and as he was getting into a cab, two young punks got in on either side of him and tried to mug him.

He KO'd them both in the first round.
