Tony ayala before his first sence he look very explosive and aggresive from what footage ive seen??? Ike ieabuchi was a very strong and beat David Tua throwing a high work rate of punches for a heavyweight what alot of heavies would of bin unable to cope with. What about Billy Collins?? Heard he was a ver good prospect??? Again not seen much footage??

Tunney didn't duck Godfrey. Godfrey was not the #1 contender when Tunney was the champion.HomicideHenry wrote:Actually Dempsey ducked Wills, and it was Tunney who ducked Godfrey.boxing_fanatic_87 wrote:George Godfrey who was relentlessly ducked by Jack Dempsey because Dempsey felt Black fighters had no right to challenge for the Heavyweight title. That's code for. That black guy would've kicked my a$$.

I was doing a lot of random acts of kindness.
I see that the anti-Tunney fiction still pops up. Thought that was put to rest.

Re: Guys Who Could Have Been World Champion...
i cant see gene tunney dodging any type of brawler after facing and beating greb and dempsey to name just two of the meanest, and he was going to beat a jabber and mover every day of the week. tunney's record - almost alone among fighters - tells the real story in detail.

Moe Szyslac, he got out of boxing becauseof politics, that and he got knocked out in his last 17 fights.

I always thought he could have been light-heavy champ somewhere along the line.
