I think Tunney is a touch overrated, mostly from playing hit and run with an over-the-hill Dempsey. "anyone who loses to Moore cannot beat Charles either" <----- That's WAY too simplistic. You have to look at the fights in context. By that standard you'd get Foreman >>>>> Frazier therefore Foreman >>>>> Ali. Boxing just doesn't work like that. Sometimes one fighter just has another fighter's number.
    Well I don't see anything at all wrong with your lgic. I am not experienced. But I watch fights old fights every night just trying to catch up with you amazing smart people about boxing. Three quarters of this stuff I never heard. About half the writers on here might be a ganius, you included

      Naw, my tongue is sharper than my intellect I just watched a lot of boxing in my misspent youth. Most of the really smart ones left long ago. The ones who are left are Them_Apples, JAB, and Billieu, ect: All good boxing minds. Them_Apples has forgotten more about boxing technique than I ever learned.

            Joe Louis age 27, beat Buddy Baer, Billy Conn, Lou Nova, Buddy Baer rematch, Abe Simon, all title fights before being inducted into the Army for 3 yrs. Title record of 22-0, 19 KO.

                  - - In Ukraine as part of the Russian War defense when not running K2 Promotions where their top fighters are currently Usyk and Loma.

                  Hope to see that misbegotten Oligarch funded war peter out soon.

                    This is probably the best list to be honest, it has everyone on here and not one person who deserves to be on this list is missing in my opinion.
