    Roy jones won the HW title @ 190lbs.
    Sure Tunney in theory isnt Rjj, and Ruiz wasnt the best of his era, but it should factor in:If Tunney was ahead of his time then, same for today.
    Even Floyd Patterson was considered small for his day, but if there is an example of a small man hanging with the best, I feel Tunney would've been that example over Patterson as well as Marciano. All threee didnt weigh much, but I think...Tunney would have the most success in any era as a small HW.

    Roy Jones Jr. was required to weight 200lbs but happened to come in a little lighter than that at weigh in, upper 190's!

    Roy Jones Jr. would have run rings and bent around Tunney for as long as he liked and knocked him cold.

    Ruiz was a weak champion but he could have EASILY beaten Tunney.

    There isn't a modern boxer of any reasonable lever today at HW that Tunney could beat.

    SEEEEERiously! LOL
