Johnson - W 93 (KO's 52) TF 127 - W pct 73% - KO pct 41% - wins over T.Hart and Jim Jeffries - KO'ed by J.Williard (he claims he threw the fight in exchange for consideration of his legal troubles with the U. S. gov't)
Fought past 50 (ridiculous)
Great defensive fighter/ great speed (ahead of his time).
Tunney - W 83 (KO's 49) TF 88 - W pct 94% - KO pct 56% - wins over Dempsey[2] H, Greb and T. Gibbons - KO'ed by none - 30th greatest fighter of all-time.

Jack Johnson was a brutal puncher and Tunney wouldn't stand a chance with him. Tunney would have to run, run , run.No chance at all for Tunney. Johnson stops Tunney in 3 rounds or less

colors of Holmes-Spinks II. I view those 2 because the pioneers of protective boxing. i recognize Jim Corbett in the previous them used an similar style hostile to Sullivan yet that wasn really Jim's style. He used it hostile to John L because he knew it can artwork hostile to the usually lower than the impression of alcohol and intensely off style Sullivan. Johnson is regularly when compared with Muhammad ALi. I dont imagine they were that close. Jack had some footwork besides the undeniable fact that it regarded more effective acceptable hostile to the lads he fought because all of them were offensive minded combatants. Even Ketchel, who could were wondering more effective of protection, replaced into offensive hostile to Johnson. believe it or no longer, Tunney had the marginally more effective acceptable footwork. a minimum of he USED it more effective than Jack did. He would also tournament Johnson for handspeed. also, Jack wasnt the large many make him out to be. in straightforward words about 10 pounds seperates both, no longer something once you're talking heavyweights. they're bout an similar top. the most important huge difference is what Jack could ought to apply to win. he's a harder puncher than Tunney. Tunney is a robust puncher yet Jack has more effective skill. Jack's parrying style would not be very effectual hostile to Tunney because he's no longer the ''plodding' form that Jack regarded so large hostile to. Tunney is a careful form fighter. He wouldnt mixture it up with Johnson. There could be no replay (of foreplay in case you'll) of Louis-Conn. Tunney would not take the possibilities many others have taken. Gene could outbox Jack, prevailing merely over 1/2 of the first 12 rounds, about 7 to 5. Johnson could be compelled to imagine the unfamiliar position of aggressor. Trailing on factors, Johnson finally catches up with Tunney, in round 13, and lands a flurry with Gene's back to the ropes. Tunney is going down. he's up on the count number of 8 and shifting out of harms way, Johnson in persuit. on the top of the wrestle Gene Tunney has scored adequate on one card to maintain the decision. besides the undeniable fact that, the different 2 judges see it for Johnson, the knockdown contained in the thirteenth being the identifying aspect. Johnson with the help of chop up selection in 15
