Gene Tunney is not an all time great HW
I don't rate any white guy who never fought a black fighter, ESPECIALLY at HW. So many times he gets put in people's top 10s. Yuck.
Lately I'm hearing about how great Gene was, how he was one of the most skilled HW's of all time. Rubbish. Someone told me he was more skilled than Wlad Klitschko. I posted a vid of Gene and asked anyone to tell me what he did better than Wlad and no one said a god damn thing.
He's best known for splitting a bunch of fights with Greb (who, btw, was a real man, and apparently had no problems fighting black fighters and bigger fighters), and beating Jack Dempsey twice. Jack Dempsey was washed up at the time, and was overrated anyway. He's another guy who ducked black fighters (he had a tough fight with John Lester Johnson and retired from fighting black fighters apparently).
I don't rate any white guy who refused to fight blacks, much less in the top 10.
Enough with Tunney! He wasn't that good.
