    The more I see of Tunney the more I appreciate him. He really was a helluva fighter. Good skills and tough as nails....and always in good condition. Thanks for the video.

    Thank you!

    He hadn't developed yet, but you can see his burgeoning qualities and it is an interesting clip. I bet that Greb did a whole lot to improve the game of those light heavyweight stand-up boxers he faced. His style would have been hellish for the "gentleman" style and in terms of there evolution and as a result, boxing's technical evolution, his intense attacks must have been a favor.
