Tunney would out-box Cooney behind his jabs and counter combinations to either take a decision or late round stoppage.

Tunney clearly was a much more superior boxer and he could take a punch. I see Tunney outboxing Cooney handily and scoring a stoppage in the later rounds.

Tough one. Because I can see Gene being kayoed by Gerry within 3 rounds. But I can also see Gene outboxing him as well. Depends on the versions, and locations. Can't see Gene beating Gerry in MSG, for example.
