Both at their very best. Fight scheduled for 20 rounds. Somebody mentioned in another thread that they think Tunney wins, so I'm curious what others think.
Tunney s never faced a fighter like Fury .I really can't see Gene seeing the end .I'll say Fury by 12 round stoppage .
Tunney’s best chance is stopping him after the 12th round in hope that Fury gasses, while being down on points. I don’t think it’s a ridiculous proposition.
I would pick the speedy boxer with the length and height advantages who actually has a significant record at heavyweight.
Fury is more proven at HW, but Tunney had immense potential and he showed signs of greatness in limited chances he took. It would be interesting to see Fury fighting someone far faster and quicker than him too. Tough to pick, but I'm on Fury side. Gene just didn't fight long enough at HW and he doesn't have any bigs on his resume.
I am not sure that there is much to pick between them, in terms of their records against elite opposition at heavyweight. Having said that, Fury has the stylistic advantage.
It's a tough one to call. However I like Tunney. Tunney would study Fury and find all his weaknesses, just like he did to Dempsey. And Dempsey was a harder puncher than Fury is. Plus Tunney took that punishment well.
