My answer is that it wouldn't be fair. Tunney was 190lbs, 6', same day weigh ins. Today that's a super middleweight. The real question is who wins between Tunney and Ward, Kovalev, Stevenson
Wilder is a giant compared to Tunney. Ward, Kov, Adonis are around 185-190lbs on fight night and around 6' tall. That's more of a match. Wilder slaughters Tunney
I voted Tunney would KO Wilder so I could vote the opposite of Tyrone Biggums. Tunney would be way too slick and fast for him. Tunney had those fast twitch muscles.
The generational gap is too wide to make a decision on this. It's just gonna boil down to who's disliked less.
In seriousness though, Tunney enjoyed a size advantage over most of the guys he fought. Fighting modern HWs would probably not work out well for Tunney.
