I have seen little of either of these two, but I am sure there are many out there with access to fights of both, and I want to know from you guys, who do you favour here? From my limited knowledge, I lean towards Charles by decision, but I do feel that Tunney is underrated.

Charles was faster, a better puncher and probably had better footwork than Tunney, which should lead him to a points win over Tunney.

2 of my favourite fighters... Speed is the key here. Charles wins a UD over Gene. Tunney might bring a bit more in the rematch but it's still Charles's fight.
