Muhammad Ali vs Gene Tunney

I said Foster was giving him problems in the beginning of the fight.Which he did with his jab. Ali adjusted and ran away with fight.
Be specific old man.

 

Heeney was slow and no puncher, Carpentier was washed up,Tunney could afford to go on the offensive against them.

 

Foster did not win a round ,is that specific enough for you?

 

Ali by an easy decision or a late knockout, but it won't be easy early on. IMO it takes him a little while to figure Tunney out, I give Tunney more props than a lot of folks here as a champion, but when Ali gets into gear that's all she wrote. The physical and speed advantages are just too great.

 

Sure .and how would the Tunney that the 162lbs Greb beat the **** out of have done with the 212lbs Ali that destroyed Williams?

 

That's false.

 

Doug Jones and Ken Norton gave Ali trouble with their jabs, so it’s not impossible that Tunney could as well.

However, it’s equally possible that Ali doesn’t respect Tunney’s power and batters him like he did Jimmy Ellis and other undersized fighters. It’s a toss up.

 

Like those debutees that Cerdan fought?

 

A couple of even rounds but Foster didn't 'win' any. I actually think Bob had a go here, in a "Dragline vs Cool Hand Luke" kinda way.

What does Marcel Cerdan have to do with Ali v Foster?

 

You still haven't given an explanation as to why Ali beats Tunney. You just hid behind someone else's comment.

 

I think this is fair, Gene's jab and swift movement would see some success, but how many rounds he could actually 'win' is another

 

I have the impression that you commented on my post without reading it.
I said PEAK Gene Tunney (for me the one who beat Dempsey) has a chance to beat the post Manila Muhammad Ali, or the green Cassius Clay (not the Clay who beat Liston, but before that). I certainly wasn't referring to LightHeavyweight Gene Tunney (who lost to Greb). Cleveland Williams does not at all fit the meaning of what I wrote.
