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
And that would be a major accident....Tunneys defense would get him plastered by the Wilder today who is bigger and better,even with his flaws he makes Tunney look like a character out of a one to many to drink brawl like style /hands down. His point fighting run /tag and dance simply wont work with power punching Wilder,he could turn your lights oput very quickly if you don't have PROPER defense....footwork may LOOK good but against a 6'7 athletic one shot killer ,well like I sdaid it was a big mistake thinking the twinlkle towe Tunney would last with such a speedy power puncher.

Your last sentence sums this match up ...up.
I think Tunney can outwork him on the inside. Plant his feet and put his head in his chest and roll and throw.

I think many guys beat Tunney , Wilder like Fury get a vad rap when being compared to the old timers but i really dont see most doing much to either , Wilder would have a severe power advantage against a guy relatively reliant on fighters who dont have foot work ,i cant see Tunney prancing around the ring and winning here , Wilder is not an inside brawler like Dempsey hes a 6'7 lanky guy that swings fast from off center / off balance angles ,i cant see one not landing .
