Good example when thinking of this fight is Billy Conn that was giving Louis a boxing lesson but for some reason got it in to his head he could stand toe to toe with louis. Gene Tunney i believe would do the same thing only would not stand toe to toe pluse he had a better reach adn was about 20 pounds heavier then Conn and had more power to give louis a harder time just some facts to add to the post to give you a good idea.
