    Tunney said he was at his peak in his final fight at 30 years old against Tom Heeney.

    Years ago I bought a copy of that fight from a guy selling tapes in the back of Boxing Illustrated. That was, I think, 23 minutes long and it was something to watch Tunney break that guy down.

    More of it was on YouTube a few years ago, but it got removed I guess.
    1928, Tunney was boxing very well there.

    I think every Dempsey fan winds up learning quite a bit about Tunney.

    I just read Live Fast Die Young; The Life and Times of Harry Greb. He had a tremendous amount of respect for Tunney because of how much he improved over the course of their fights. Greb thought that Tunney was much better than Dempsey and that he would beat him easily.
