	IS IT HARD TO FIGHT A LONG TERM DISABILITY COMPANY ON AN LTD CLAIM ?
		Yes, it definitely can be hard to fight a long term disability insurer, and for a number of reasons.
		Of course, not having a long term disability lawyer can mean the equivalent of going into a gunfight without a gun (albeit a hired gun).
		And, in fact, a long term disability insurer will generally count on the fact that most Ltd claimants will not avail themselves of the services of an Ltd disability lawyer.

	The Long Count Fight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle Of The Long Count was the boxing rematch between world Heavyweight champion Gene Tunney and former champion Jack Dempsey, held on September 22, 1927, at Soldier Field in Chicago.
		Ironically, the first fight between Tunney and Dempsey had been moved out of Chicago because Dempsey had learned that Al Capone was a big fan of his, and he did not want Capone to be involved in the fight.
		In the fight film, a clock was installed that took Tunney's time on the floor and it marked 13 seconds from the moment he fell until he got up.

		It is this, then, that (to paraphrase George W.

		But it was the fierce fight that Dempsey had with Luis Angel Firpo, a savage-looking Argentinean, in 1923 that made him into a myth.
		For most of the last two years of his reign, Dempsey’s handlers refused to stage fights with the threatening fl contender, Harry Wills, and when he finally fought the ex-Marine Gene Tunney in 1926 and again in 1927 (the famous Long-Count Fight), he lost both bouts, even as he succeeded in winning the publicrelations contest.

		It had the smell of money and the taste of blood, as all fights did when Dempsey was involved; a sense of intrigue born of persistent rumors that the fix was in for Dempsey; and a powerful current of history and romance.
