    Very interesting to hear Ali praising Tunney. You can even see some similarities with the movement that Tunney had compared to Ali. Tunney really was ahead of his time.

    Ali is 100 percent correct in his assessment. Tunney’s movement was way ahead of its time. Including newspaper decisions Tunney retired at 80-1-1. A Couple debatable wins in there with Greb but exceptional none the less.
