    why does this thread have to even mention black or white? We're just talking about Tunney.

    Because blacks tend to rule the sport and if you ain't fighting black fighters, you're missing out on a ton of great competition.

    If Tommy Morrisson didn't have to fight black fighters he would have retired undefeated except for the AIDs.

    Because ducking black fighters is one of the hallmark attributes of Tunney's (and Dempsey's) career.

    Everybody knows that in early times, racist motives were involved in keeping black boxers out of the HW championship.

    Therefore it's very relevant when considering how great Tunney and Dempsey were to consider the impact of their decisions to duck them. Beanflicker gets it!

    Gene Tunney

    "I'd rather be smart, than try to make every boxing pundit happy.
    They do not have to get in the Ring with guys that want to rip
    your head off. Boxing is a rough business."

    "I'm content with myself, and have not one single regret about
    not fighting this one or that one."

    "Look at Muhammad Ali. Sure he was tough, but look at him now. Yes,
    I'm sure he made everyone happy."
