Gene Tunney - The Technical Genius

Highlights of the highly skilled former undisputed Heavyweight world champion.
PayPal Donations: [e-mail]
Gene Tunney - Was an American professional boxer who competed from 1915 to 1928. He held the world heavyweight title from 1926 to 1928, and the American light heavyweight title twice between 1922 and 1923. A highly technical boxer, Tunney had a five-fight rivalry with Harry Greb in which he won three, drew once, and lost once. He also knocked out Georges Carpentier and defeated Jack Dempsey twice; first in 1926 and again in 1927. Tunney's successful title defense against Dempsey remains one of the most famous bouts in boxing history and is known as The Long Count Fight. He retired undefeated as a heavyweight after his victory over Tom Heeney in 1928, after which Tunney was named Fighter of the Year by The Ring magazine.

[@bespugilist7971]

Fantastic video he was absolutely one of the greatest heavyweights ever and in my opinion only second to Johnson from that era and even that would have been close, he was one of the most modern style fighters of that era his technique was superb far better than Dempsey imo.

Definitely less remembered by fans, even fairly hardcore fans. Dempsey excited everyone for the sport with his style of destroying people. Tunney... he wasn't as popular because he was educated, smart, technical, and a determined 12 round fighter. That's a 180 to Dempsey's style. So... when Dempsey lost, like... people were probably pondering if they'd see the great Dempsey back in the ring doing his thing. They wanted to see that again. They didn't like Tunney's style as much, so.... he just wasn't as loved. Tunney though, overall, incredibly impressive career. One of the greats as far as I'm concerned with. He has a more impressive resume' than many that followed him in my opinion.

HanZAgod, man, seems like you have video's on most of boxing's greatest fighters. Have you done a video on Harry Greb yet?? Man had serious skills and a serious record. Went 45-0 in ONE YEAR! The last year he fought and same year he died he fought 10 times in 8 months. Man was a machine. Modern fighters are impressive if they have 45 fights in their career. Greb's skills and accomplishments shouldn't be overlooked. Greb fought Tunney something like 5 times! Also the story of his death at 32 is tragic and peculiar. Story goes, he went to hospital for nose surgery and died of a heart attack. Keep up the good work. I think you're one of if not the best boxing historians on youtube. Very thorough, highly knowledgeable, and well-rounded content that is well produced and fun to watch.

Gene was studying Jack while Jack chased skirt.

[@stevenstubby8632]

Ali too. Their fighting styles are similar too.. the left right combo. Ali could predict the combination he would use to knock a fighter out in his early prime. When Ali was to Alex Miteff, he stated to an interviewer that "2 fast left jabs, and a straight right, and if he's still standing after that and the ref ain't holding him up, I'm gonna run." Alex was knocked out with that very combo, 2 lightening fast lefts, and a straight right. These men were so experienced they could predict how they would fight an opponent just by looking at them. Why else do u think Ali was so confident against Liston. Prime Ali was no joke.

Not ahead of his time at all. When I was a kid people were saying that Ali revolutionised boxing because he was the first man to ever box with his hands down. I loved Ali and used to parrot that line myself for years until I learned more. Tunney is one of many examples that give lie to that statement as we can see. There are so many others that we can now see and many others not on film. For example Corbett, Joe Gans, Young Griffo ( look up what Gans had to say about Griffo) Jack Johnson, Jimmy Wilde, (Watch him against Joe Symonds), Peerless Jim Driscoll. Just saw one of Midget Wolgast that's well worth a look. There were so many of them. And all of them would look 100 times better if they had been filmed in HD, with modern sound effects. Also, if someone ever found one of those old cameras from back in the day and filmed today's fighters with it they wouldn't look at all as good as they do today.

@@jimvolk9911 Tunney's analysis of his opponents' characteristics operated tactically in the ring as well as strategically. During the Long Count you can see him thinking 'What next?' He decides to keep Dempsey away for a while- one of Gene's skills- regains full strength and never lets himself be cornered by another killer punch. Knowing Dempsey is unlikely to be floored by one such from himself, Tunney ups the attritional outboxing mode, frustrating the Mauler and piling up points. Once off the canvas his superior fitness and dictation of the fight's outcome are visible till the final bell. In much of this Gene followed Corbett. He also anticipated Ali. Their biggest weapons were their heads, but they were also dancers and floaters. Ali added psychological aggression, taunting his foes; Gene merely provoked them beforehand with his 'gentleman and scholar' image.

Regained a version or unified titles a record 4x. Being the 1st cruiserweight to win the heavyweight title. Evander did loads Lennox did loads.

Tunney vs Dempsey were some incredible fights showcasing the best of two very different types of styles. I think Beterbiev vs Bivol would be epic in a very similar way. Those are the best fights that can happen. i.e. When you get Ali vs Frazier, we had some of the best fights in boxing, because style wise, you weren't sure who would actually win. Like... it could go either way, and often does. Foreman vs Frazier though... way less cool fight. Why? Well, Frazier's style just sucks against Foreman's, hence he got pummeled. Style wise, lining up a Beterbiev vs Bivol fight would be epic like the Tunney vs Dempsey fights.

Tunney was a ATG. His only loss coming from another ATG Harry Greb.
