    Tough to call. As already said, Tunney had the bigger wins with his wins over Dempsey, but Charles was there longer and had the greater depth of resume. I rate Charles higher at 175, but Tunney arguably peaked at 185-190.

    In a rap contest maybe.

    In a fight, Tunney would mop up the floor with shards of Jones' chin.

    I can't vote... Why? Simple... Its a double-edged sword here... Tunney wins the crowd of the pre-1950 fans, while Charles wins over the fans from 1950 and onward... TRUTH!! We got a draw in popularity....
