[Photo] Gene Tunney and Joe Louis

Great pic.

 

Yes I've seen it nice pic, which rather surprised me to be honest.

 

Joe looks hungry and a bit p*ssed off!

 

There is a lot of Tunney's story that hasn't been told ..

 

I've no doubt of that!

 

Let's ask Klompton ..

 

Lol he does.

 

“Let me explain why Dempsey would crush you in the first round and how I beat Dempsey- who you could never beat”

 

"Please pass the salt."

 

Dempsey would beat Louis. Tunney was trying to convince Joe to join the Navy

 

Tunney looks bigger than I thought he would sitting next to Louis, but then again he's a retired old man in this pic and put on some weight. He does have a big head and big hands so maybe he has a large frame.

 

The photographer was kind - respectfully keeping Gene's ridiculously oversized wine glass just outside of camera frame.

Louis has that look that he might be thinking "This is the third frigging time in the last 15 mins he's told me the exact same story re the Long Count and how he could've gotten up at the count of "1" if necessary." Poor Joe, he could neither run nor hide from Gene's inebriated monologue set on torturous repeat.

 

What's a Kulak?
