I believe this is a more winnable fight for Tunney as he would be fighting someone closer to his size and ability.

I honestly don't know, I would favor Tunney, but I also honestly think that Joe just might "out think" him. And find a way to pull some slick moments and truly surprise Gene. Both very intelligent fighters, but I give the noggin edge to Joe.

Very close, but Walcott figures out a way to win, imo.

In a rematch, it might go the other way.

Tunney would have put the Walcott puzzle together at some point, & come home strong for a conmpetitive points win.

A rematch would be a more convincing Tunney win. Charles did it two from four (probably three from four, in fact) --- Tunney would do it, too.
