    Tunney. The difference between the top 1% & the rest.

    I have Charles winning by UD. Then again, we all know Tunney wouldn't fight Charles.

    Prime for prime, I would have bet a bundle on Charles! Unlike most, I don't rank Tunney very high. Charles by Unanimous Decision.

    Charles out physicals him and becomes the boss over ensuing rounds.

    Then again, Tunney unlikely to sign for the fight.

    Tunney and any other boxer from that Era and before were so unskilled that they wouldn't be able to compete with the guys Ezzard Charles faced. Charles by destruction in a few rounds.

    Agree. It’s astonishing how many favor Tunney given that huge difference in the quality of the comp that Charles beat

    Do you think Maxim was the best guy Charles fought ?

    Joe Louis faced fighters from Tunney's era and from Charles era. He did quite well in both eras.
