How Would Gene Tunney Have Done Against Old Louis?

He might. I think Walcott beat Louis.

 

I think I'd pick Tunney. Hard to say since his record at heavyweight is so shallow though.

 

Was Louis' skin brown?

That's all you need to know. Tunney ducks Louis.

 

I think Tunney's chances against Walcott would have been 50-50.
But I still favor the older Louis over Tunney. Walcott occaionally made Louis look really bad, due to his slick style. Tunney is an overall well rounded fighter, with good timing, good defensce, very good reflexes, very focused...but his style isn't slick at all. I guess Louis' weakness were slick fighters. So i favor Louis ~60-70%!

 

I am new to this so ask wouldn't it be better to match fighters in their primes

 

As heavyweights go, I always thought Tunney was maybe a bit ahead of his time. Pretty solid boxer. I would pick him to outpoint old Louis.

 

Tunney by dec.

 

Pretty well I would expect.

 

I favor Tunney, but as with Walcott 1, I would not be surpise if Louis got the win.

 

You got it backwards, Tunney was black Irish, I am surprised you didn't know that! Tunney was a Great Boxer.

 

Black Irish refers to those Irish that had intercourse with the shipwrecked Spanish from the Armada. Has nothing to do with Africans.

 

Praise the lord!

 

Gene really never faced anyone with the ability of Louis even past his best at HW.
-So it’s hard to say for me.

 

Gene Tunney would eat them guys up, On St. Patrick's Day
