@studentofsweetscience knock out rate doesnt really mean anything. I cant figure out why but after he won the title he had 24 wins afterwards that were not considered title defences? I will assume he changed divisions but either way people knew who he was and that carries the same studying of hungry fighters. I also think having better quality tape easily accessible changed the fighting game so its hard to really compare.

Gene Tunney is criminally underrated and was ahead of his time. He used movement and his jab to tame aggressive boxers like Dempsey rather than trying to fight fire with fire. He had a great knack for choosing the ideal times to close in and attack. Based on style alone he would be favored over just about every heavyweight who came before him

Your videos truly give these great fighters the dignity and respect they deserve in a highlight reel. From glimpses into their lives outside the ring, to their falls and get-back-ups. Watching some of these actually makes me get choked up a bit. Boxing is my favorite sport, and boxers are my favorite athletes. Favorite just isn't the right word. It's not like a favorite candy, a favorite car. Boxers have always been the underdogs, even if they were champions. Boxing will show you the patterns of immigration in this country. And it is a sport that has given birth to some of the most inspirational people in history. That's what your videos show. Now, for a comment about this video in particular. Unless your a real boxing nerd, you wouldn't have known who Gene Tunney was before you watched this. I'll admit, I didn't. But, after watching this video, you can see a lot of where Muhammad Ali got his technique- not his style necessarily. Tunney came from that old school style of boxing- the image you get of Popeye with his fists up. And there are traits in his style that you can see in the way Muhammad Ali ran around the ring, kept his hands down, and his chin up. Anyway, that's all I have. Sorry for the rant.

Gene Tunney was a thinking man's boxer. Which explains why Jack Dempsey was a lot more popular, even after getting beat twice by Tunney. The masses will never appreciate intellect because its less tangible than pure force. Similar to how Andre Ward will never get full credit for beating Kovalev twice, Tunney never got full credit for taking down Dempsey with the long count controversy. Boxing fans never change.

The Old Timers can keep boxers like Tunney alive for a generation or two, but after the Old Timers pass on these boxers need someone to resuscitate them. You've essentially revived Gene Tunney and made him accessible to an entire generation of boxing fans, Reznick. Thank you.

Tunney definitely on par with Ali for being boxing savvy and smart, like Ali a master at tactics. Tunney like Ali was a boxer not a fighter whereas Dempsey as you can see in the video clips was a fighter not a boxer.

I watch so much old, old, old boxing and I think the idea most of these guys could translate these days is a joke. But there's two fucking humans I can't even come close to comprehending as athletes. #1 is Jack Johnson. Modern training , whatever - that's a freak. That's not a real human. He'd be great regardless of era. #2 isn't Ali, Liston, Louis or any of those guys. It's Tunney. He's the most obviously brilliant guy who's ever been in our sport. He's a fucking surgeon and any advanced training would have been a war crime to put people in the ring with him. A murderer. A killer. Of the highest order. He's so fucking precise and scientific, but also so brutal. I can't comprehend him.

I consider myself a boxing historian of sorts...never knew of this guy until I seen a top 10 list with his name on it...he's definitely underrated because I've never heard of him before

My grandpa watched Tunney in training camp. I think it was in French Lick In. But he was a Dempsey fan. Both my grandpas were.

It's difficult to think of a better all around me hanic in ring history.. flawless technique. Almost never put a foot wrong and when he did, he learnt from it.. stamina, durability, power, ringcraft, speed, ability to fight going forwards or backwards...and above all, temperament. Completely unflappable in a crisis.. I think a prime Dempsey might have overwhelmed him judging on the couple of occasions he DID catch up to him...but I'm by no means certain. Definitely one of the very greatest.

This guy was an absolute All time Great with a Capital G one of my favorite old school (True school) Boxers to watch but terribly underrated in my opinion as a heavyweight champion he had only one loss which he later avenged to the great Harry Greb which was that light heavyweight IMO was much better than Dempsey who was much beloved..
