Gene Tunney doesn't get enough respect around here.

[The Big Dunn]

He probably does in the history section.

Loool at the wildlife and savages trying to sneak into the thread and discredit Gene.

65-1-1 (48 KO), retired undefeated Heavyweight champion. Only blemishes on his record came against Harry Greb, a man he went 3-1-1 against in five contests. Never weighed more than Cruiserweight but fook it, he didn't have to back then. He started at Middleweight and spent the majority of his career at Light Heavyweight. Beat a long list of contenders and title challengers before winning the title.

As if any of these dumbos on here know who Tunney is. LMAO!!!11

he got knocked out against dempsey, that fight was rigged.

History section mate.

In terms of tunney he was a great fighter but not a top 10 or possibly even top 20 heavyweight. Overall career though was very good. If you watch clips of him fight you see alot of modern methods employed, such as holding, pushing off with his forearms.

In today's world he'd basically be Andre ward but with more power and more balls.

Along with Johnson, benny and a handful of others he was one of the few true defensive fighters pre 1940.
