Gene Tunney vs Jimmy Young

I think Young by split decision. Tunney can dance and shot his jab all he wants but young will be dodging and blocking a lot of those shots and countering with his own.
Plus Tunney would be wide open for those counters if he really fought the same way with his guard down.
Tunney would make It close though I think because he was a great boxer in his own right

 

Tunney would be a little too versatile for Young.

One key factor would be that he was as good fighting ofensivley as defensivley against an oponent who did not hold a significant edge over him in terms of firepower.

 

:rofl:rofl:roflI can't breathe:rofl

 

I think Tunney takes this...Gene would not fit into Jimmy's game...Tunney by close decision

 

to be honest I think that's a completely reasonable answer. I could see it going for Tunney too if he does enough to win the round

 

come on guys, this IS a tough one to call, especially with all the pro-young threads on here lately. I'm kind of high and can't really think terribly straight but i'll go with conventional wisdom and say tunney. too active, too technically strong with a superior jab that will allow him to control the distance and when needed, pace of the fight. young had slickness, skills but not enough power to dent tunney. young will keep it close but it's clear at the end for tunney

 

You're high? Quick, play this! http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/535466

 

Tunney has better offense altogether..... Young was overly defensive...... Tunney on points...

Tunney takes this handily. The guy had amazing speed and footwork, great grit and durability, and crushingly good power when his hands weren't hurt. I think he would have done a better job on Foreman, even.

 

Tunney by dec, his hand and foot speed making the difference.

 

Tunney on point in a chess match.
