    The Dwight that gave Evander all he could handle versus the Tunney that beat Dempsey. 15 rounds.

    Tunney. Truly one of the best ever imo.

    Considering that Dempsey was already semi-retired, Qawi likely faced the opponent in this instance. I'd pick Tunny at light heavyweight over Qawi but probably not above 175.

    Impossible to say really. Qawi's skills and pressure fighting is ATG stuff but he was a midget so a taller man like Tunney could keep him off a tie him up. But if he didn't Qawi would absolutely batter Tunney inside. Greb probably batter Tunney inside, so Qawi may well have done too.

    Great fight

    Hell of a fight. I think I've got Tunney but Braxton was a tough assignment for anyone. He was a little buzzsaw.

    Tunney beats him the way Spinks did IMO.
