This mural is located with three murals on the side of an restaurant, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company which is just east of the Colorado Convention Center. When I first saw the mural, I thought it was Muhammad Ali. As I began taking photos and walking closer, I was then able to read Jack Dempsey. My father immediately knew who he was; I had heard the name by had to look him up. Generational thing!
