    Let's say there was a Light-heavyweight with the abilities of gene tunney this day and age just touched up to today's boxing standards
    How would this style look? Would it win fights in this era?

    I don't think he'd look a whole lot different. Maybe he'd have a higher guard would be the only change he'd make, and yes he would win fights with light heavyweights today.

    Man, if only his fights with Greb were available on film. We'd get a much better grasp at how good he was at his peak weight.

    He'd beat all the lightheavies of today, including my favorite modern fighter, Sergey Kovalev.

    He might move with a bit more rhythm.
