Tunney/Dempsey were primitive

Despite his (Ali's) high praise of Tunney, which contrasted sharply with his evaluation of all the other champions, he did say that due to their similarity in styles, plus his own superior size, that Tunney would be rather easy for him to beat. I tend to agree with that, and I think an Ali-Tunney fight may have resembled The Ali-Ellis fight somewhat, with the possibility that Tunney may have lasted the distance in a losing effort.
