We all know Tunney was a great scientific boxer with good footwork.

But what is not mentioned is his toughness.The pounding he took from Harry Greb was brutal,but Tunney fought on.Of course Tunney came back to spank Greb many times.

I believe Tunney was the greatest LH that ever lived.Bigger and better than Conn.

Matter of fact, I actually think Tunney would beat Louis. He would box his ears off and the size disadvantage would be no problem as seen in Conn-Louis. Yeah, I think Tunney would pull it off in a masterfull display of boxing.

Right after I corrected you and made you see your shallow nuthugging ways. I have humbled many Louis nuthuggers when it comes to ranking him. The Slimey one deserves full credit.

Tell you what Slimey if you can find one post of mine where I say Louis was the no.1 HW of all time i'll suck your **** in the middle of Oxford Street.

Oh really lad. I remember the first time we talked. Your posts were very calm and not name calling. Now you can't take the abuse anymore, and show that I have gotten to you badly. You're out of character here lad, the Slimey one has gotten to your heart.

We never talked Slimey you ranted and I ignored you. Just you talk more bollocks now as you are running low on medication I assume.

Now, care to go back to the boxing related discussion lad? You know, the one you were schooled in and had to resort to childish terribly constructed flames?

Where do you get this "schooled in" Slimey? In your dreams old son, I don't profess to know as much as some but there is nothing you have said that could possibly be called educational.
But I'm up for going back to a boxing related discussion.
Tell you what, run that theory past me again where Rocky didn't get knocked down by Archie Moore now that was something I never knew!

Slimey you think Gene Kelly would beat Louis so no suprise there.

[GJC]

Well mate, you probably would have fared better not answering at all instead of coming back with these feeble attempts. I need to go to school TO school? Maybe you should stop speaking nonsense speaking nonsense

Well done you spotted a typo let me give you the clap you richely deserve.

[boxingbuff]

Ali
Forman
Liston
Holmes

And maybe Tunney.Great boxer with good footwork,and 20lbs more than Conn

No you have a good point with Tunney I too rate him a better LHW than Conn but I still would favour Louis. Problem with Tunney is he had so few fights at HW he is difficult to judge. He was impressive against Dempsey but it was a diminished Dempsey, prime against prime is a different matter.

I also think that had Louis caught Tunney like Dempsey caught him, Louis would have finished him off.
