    That's an interesting one - probably a lot worse than Dempsey did against him - Tunney was a great boxer and probably gives prime Marciano fits - I think Marciano really struggles if he has any time out to be honest against whoever - he has to be at peak for me or he's gunna really be up against it - it is a testament to guys like Dempsey, and Louis going 8 of 10 against young Rocky, and obviously Ali for doing what he did when his best years were a long way behind him - even Lennox talking Vit Klit into deeper water than anyone else managed when he was 5% of what he had been - don't think Rocky would've been able to though

    Even I would pay 5 grand for a seat for this fight, and generally speaking Heavyweights don't impress me as much as the lighter guys.

    Now SRR against ANY Welter or Middle you would care to name, and I would remortgage EVERYTHING I own if necessary, to be ringside.

    SRR VS Greb would be one of the best macth in boxing history..

    M.Ali VS lewis
    Foreman VS W.Klitscho
