    Tunney was really at his peak and filling out more when he retired on top.
    Tunney would keep Marciano turning the whole fight. Landing some decent shots and tieing Marciano up keeping him from gaining any momentum. Gene was fast strong and smart
    He had a very good jab and a hard quick rt hand to keep Rocky honest.
    Tunney UD

    I agree. Prime Tunney outboxes prime Marciano. Tunney was the real deal. Greatest pure boxer ever to hold the hwt championship.
