Heavyweight Gene Tunney in the 1970's

I think Tunney would have surprised the **** out of everybody against every one of them..he was and still is the most criminally underrated great champion of all time.

 

yes, of course tunney was fast, but he might not run during all the fight. foreman would not fail always, early or later foreman would catch him. remember that ali or young did beat foreman with tactics, taking shots in the ropes. ali never outboxed foreman.george did cut the ring very well. and joe frazier would be the worst match for tunney. compared with joe in pressure terms dempsey was an amateur

 

I think Tunney would give all the top guys trouble. I'm not saying he'd beat em all, but he'd win his fair share an be at least as competitive as the likes of Norton, Young, and Quarry

 

This is absolutely over the top. How could you possibly see this happening? Tunney can't take the fight to Ali and if he tries to fight defensively Ali will just out do him with superior footspeed, handspeed, and reach.

 

Post 74 yeah.
Before that I think tunney gets smoked..

 

I was assuming he meant the best 70s Ali.

 

ali 75 would beat tunney too

 

what are you?
