Jorge Luis Gonzalez vs Jim Corbett

A) Tunney could have risen early in the count had he needed to. He followed the count of the ref, which is what a cognizant pro does.

B) Tunny was an inch shorter than Conn but had 4 or so inches of reach advantage over him.

 

some ppl's opinion . not d truth . Tunney knew y he did what he did , or maybe he really didn't .

I take d reach stats significantly less seriously than i take d height stats , if u know what i mean .

 

Pretty much the opinion of everyone involved in or present ringside at the fight. However, you hold "d truth". I can not match that.

I think you mean that you take a 1 inch height advantage as being more significant than a 4 inch reach advantage. I know what you mean. However as to why you would mean it, I have no idea.

 

I agree, this is very original thread. Almost like asking about a David Bey vs. Tunney contest. I like originality. I pick Gonzales. Too big like you said.

 

Gonzalez dominates, I think he's probably got quicker hands, combined with the size advantage. The question is, how could Gonzalez have been if he had the dedication, we're talking about a top amateur

 

y do u think that they know that he could have gotten up in time and survive d onslaught then ?
and both parts of d disjunction here r really questioned .

not what i meant at all , i mean that reach exaggeration is something like 2.3 fold of height exaggeration , which is something like about 2.2 inches in average . which makes reach exaggerration something like 2.2*2.3= 5.06 inches in average .

 

This started out as similar posts do, comparing an average fighter of today with past great, with real purpose of saying, in sneaky way, that no one prior to 1920 or 1940, maybe even 1960's, could fight. Sometimes we get a mismatch based on weight, like how some current middleweight would do agaisnt a past heavyweight champ. Waste of everyone's time, in my opinion.

Anyone saying Tunney would lose to Gonzalez is just jerking us around, or is an idiot on boxing.

 

Cing this genius of boxing not even trying 2 prove his brilliance even in virtual betting does suggest that he knows his **** 2 its core .

 

Are we so obsessed with size that any ham n egger with an impresive tale of the tape can bepicked over a smaller ATG?

That seems to be the situation that we are moving towards.

 

Gonzalez beat Lennox Lewis, Bowe, Teofilo Stevenson, Tyrell Biggs

 

Only as a ****in amateur. He would have gotten killed by Lewis as he was by Bowe if they ever met again as pro's.

 

Age difference explains both Gonzalez' amateur wins over them as well as his loss 2 Bowe in d pros . Reverse it and he probably loses 2 them in d amateurs , regarding d pros , especially with Bowe , IDK . Think about a 1998 Riddick Bowe vs a 1992 Gonzalez . And 2 make it even fairer , think that Gonzalez also turned pro at 1985/1986 .

 

So the truth hurt I see.

 

Who did he beat as a profesional?
