Tunney beats Louis, Dempsey beats Walcott. -
Tunney has a very good chance of beating Louis,imo if we can use the first Conn fight as a yardstick.Originally posted by The Old LefHook View Post
Drying out to get under 200lbs made Louis in his own words ," feel like ****",he wouldn't do that for the heavier than Conn Tunney.So we could probably expect a better performance from Louis.against that Tunney hit appreciably harder than Conn.Louis won't be able to just walk into him with impunity.
Tunney's heavyweight resume is very shallow a past prime Dempsey,a worn down Gibbons etc,but he has the style to give the Bomber fits,this may go the distance.
Dempsey stops Walcott? Yes I think so too, but he could have a couple of rocky moments before overwhelming Jersey Joe,Comment

Jersey Joe fights at one speed, doesn't he, and never moves fast but at a leisurely pace? He may be the most relaxed fighter I have seen. Moving leisurely around Dempsey may get him KO'd

Walcott used feints from his shoulders to get opponents out of position,and his cake walk side to side double - step, baffled an aging Louis.Originally posted by The Old LefHook View Post
I don't think Dempsey would give him the luxury of the time to execute these moves.He would be on him from the get go.Comment
