    Would go with a Tunney decision.. More durable and more disciplined

    Tunney is the better allaround fighter. He takes a comftorable UD. If Walcott tries to get to cute he may even get KO'd

    Walcott takes this compare the film, I don't think anyone could get away with that lean back defence against Walcott. Not the mention Tunney would be facing someone with better feints then himself.

    I think Walcott is a horrible style for Tunney.

    Think Walcott has too many tricks up his sleeve for Tunney personally.

    Walcott darts in and out and side to side more fluidly than Tunney, and his footwork is far more unpredictable with the Walcott Waltz. You never know which way Walcott is shuffling. He has more tricks than Tunney.
