    Why make this thread after last night? Not only did Bivol beat a hyped up golden boy project, he looked flat while doing so

    This is a laughable mismatch. Tunney would break Bivol.

    Everyone before 1950 was better this is the classic forum don't you forget it!!! Every classic poster has black and white tapes of every fight before 1950 in crystal clear HD.

    Bivol would clown Tunney.

    Hard to say for now, but it would probably be a good fight. Both are quick technicians. I think Bivol would definitely frustrate Tunney with his modern technique and high work rate.

    I think Tunney batters Bivol, trying to outbox Gene while sacrificing height and reach to him is a recipe for getting countered to death.

    Bivol stops him. He's better in almost every department, speed, footwork, punch selection... And never feared facing opponents of different complexion.

    Tunney might be the most overrated fighter on this forum.

    Tunney.

    Beat:

    GOAT Greb
    Multi weighter HOF Leo Hauck
    HOF multi weighter Carpentier
    HOF LHW great Loughran
    HOF Gibbons
    HOF Dempsey twice
    HOF Battling Levinsky

    Bivol beat Canelo, Ramirez & Beterbiev. Great fighter but Tunney was so good & ahead of his time i think he could still compete at the top level today minus all that evolution bollocks.
