Tunney was imo first fighter to use style ala Floyd ,Hit and hug, he outboxed Dempsy with it quite comfortable .Wlad used it All the Time,also Ali took something from Tunney (who had good footwork ) .Tunney Also almost unbeaten but had greater opponents that his studets like Wlad and Floyd ,and Finaly lost with Great Harry Greb 1 arguebly 2 many people thought that Greb was robbed in rematch .

Tunney was much more skilled and versatile.. He could actually beat bigger guys..
Wlad just has a huge size advantage, and suffocates smaller fighters when they get close.

Whether it was from Tunney I'm not sure, there isn't a huge amount of tape of him, it's probably stuff Steward picked up from being around Eddie Futch and Joe Louis and adapted to a guy who couldn't fight inside. Tunney could fight on the inside and fought in the clinch against Dempsey. Wlad just leans on you.
