a Prime Tunney takes the place of Willard

the fight is scheduled for 20 rounds. Would a prime Tunney be able to beat a prime JJ who is obviously past his best here, but still put up a courageous performance against Jess.

Second part, if you believe that Tunney can beat that Johnson... does he also beat the Johnson of the Jeffries fight?

 

I would say yes to the first question, and no to the second.

I think peak for peak, Johnson was the better of the two, but a peak Tunney was better than a faded, rusty, past prime Johnson.

 

Agreed:good

 

Prime Tunney beats any version of JJ.

 

Up to 1950 or so, Nat Fleisher (Ring) had Jack Johnson ranked #1 of them all.
He had seen them all. But, that is only one man's opinion...but one punch from a great hvywt can win any fight against anyone.

 

tunney points

very close pick, slight edge to johnson

 

Fliescher ALWAYS ranked Johnson No 1.

Prime Johnson beats prime Tunney. Old Johnson loses to prime Tunney.

 

Yes...Tunney was a very MODERN heavyweight champion...worlds apart from anyone Johnson ever fought in style and quality.

 

Not the prime JJ.

 

I agree with you. Still see Johnson winning,though,but it would be close.

 

Nice joke

 

Your posts match your name bud, like hey, I wonder if they'll buy my joke of a posts hook line and sinker

 

tunney wins lol. johnson never fought anyone who moved like him, or threw combinations like him. tunny clear UD

 

Johnson plays with tunney humiliates him And then he picks the round where he finishes the job

 

Dempsey knocks out Tunney.
