    Tunney’s ability at heavyweight is often questioned due to being quite unproven compared to the division’s ATGs, who’s the best HW Tunney can beat above 200 lbs?

    Does Louis count as an "over 200" HW?

    I could see him potentially beating Louis, though IDK if it would be a favored outcome or perhaps only a "1 out of 3" type outcome.

    Regardless, I'd favor Tunney over Baer & I think he'd have a good shot vs. Jeffries.

    He could beat loads of heavies over 200lbs.
    Could he beat class ones is the question?
    Could he beat current guys like;
    Joshua
    Usyk
    Parker
    Fury

    I'd take Tunney to beat 200lbs +men like;
    Jeffries
    Willard
    Carnera
    Baer
