Writer compares Tunney and Corbett, 1928

Jim Corbett to-day is one of the most
popular figures in sport. Tall, erect,
athletic looking, though past 60, you
could never guess within 10 years of
his actual age. How would Corbett
and Tunney, each at his best, compare
in the ring? According to a leading
American critic, Corbett undoubtedly
was the better boxer in his prime. He
had greater natural speed of hand and
loot, quicker reflexes, a more baffling
way of stepping in and out. Tunney
is the slightly better puncher, because
he hits from a batter balance, and
Tunney is the harder to hurt, more
rugged, more durable, and somewhat
more grimly determined to stick and
win. Corbett could have been a far
better puncher than he was if he had
not sacrificed punching balance for
speed, for the art of getting in and
out as he jazzed and rapped. Tunney
is not a smashing slugger, but there is
much more behind those short jolts of
his, backed up by a heavy shoulder,
than the onlooker would imagine.
