    Hi Buddy.
    I am not familiar with the " body " quote " but will take you at your word, as regarding Tunney being too big, or outgrowing Greb, I have read that Harry did indeed say, or refer to the size of Gene sometime after their last fight, with the effect they would not fight again from Harry's viewpoint, not sure if you know ? it was Leonard who advised Gene to punch Greb in the midsection, or more succinctly, to hit the oncoming Greb with hard well placed rights to Grebs heart, this apparently was the key to slowing down the whirlwind that was Greb, as to who I would pick, I rather fancy Charles to outpoint Tunney in a torrid tussle, just wondering how some fellow posters have come to the conclusion that Gene is stronger than Ezzard, anyway that's my thoughts on a finely balanced fight, between two great boxers.
    stay safe Melankomas, enjoy your thoughts and posts, you have a keen mindset.
    Mike.
