    Gene Tunney. One of the most underappreciated athletes/sportsman of the 20th century.

    • @ThomasMcConville-x9k
      @ThomasMcConville-x9k 2 месяца назад

      Yes, Tunney was one of the best ring tacticians boxing in the heavyweight division, and had great 4:44 4:44 movement side to side, to throw his opponent off balance to land his own effective. The knockdown of Gene shown here given to him by Dempsey resulted in the long count, which some boxing experts deny and boxing writers deny.The fact of matter is Tunney was fortunate here to get that and get back in to finish the fight and defeat Dempsey with a decision. His benefit from the South called long count did appear to help Tunney win the bout over Dempsey, though Dempsey gave Tunney a vicious beating, and Gene was able to with stand for the victory.

      @studentofsweetscience knock out rate doesnt really mean anything.
      I cant figure out why but after he won the title he had 24 wins afterwards that were not considered title defences? I will assume he changed divisions but either way people knew who he was and that carries the same studying of hungry fighters. I also think having better quality tape easily accessible changed the fighting game so its hard to really compare.

    Thank you for posting this. I knew a little bit about Gene Tunney already, but I looked him up today (& found this amazing video) b/c I remembered my WWII Gen grammy telling me that her cab-driver father Charles Moore was friends w/ Gene's brother--think they were drinking buddies. Then I sent my dad the video, & he told me that Gene used to hang out @ my great-grandfather's Perry St. apartment in the West Village when my grammy was a baby. I thought that was pretty cool. Also, my grammy's Irish maternal grandfather Tom Murphy knew him b/c he'd also been a local boxer. The village must've been such an amazing place to grow up in back then. Imagine being a cab driver & a huge people-person there? I hope that one day we'll get to meet our departed ancestors & listen to all their amazing stories.
    Oh yeah, & the song you picked is amazing too, & so is the editing. Thanks again for posting this! I enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Gene Tunney is criminally underrated and was ahead of his time. He used movement and his jab to tame aggressive boxers like Dempsey rather than trying to fight fire with fire. He had a great knack for choosing the ideal times to close in and attack. Based on style alone he would be favored over just about every heavyweight who came before him

    Your videos truly give these great fighters the dignity and respect they deserve in a highlight reel. From glimpses into their lives outside the ring, to their falls and get-back-ups. Watching some of these actually makes me get choked up a bit. Boxing is my favorite sport, and boxers are my favorite athletes. Favorite just isn't the right word. It's not like a favorite candy, a favorite car. Boxers have always been the underdogs, even if they were champions. Boxing will show you the patterns of immigration in this country. And it is a sport that has given birth to some of the most inspirational people in history. That's what your videos show.
    Now, for a comment about this video in particular. Unless your a real boxing nerd, you wouldn't have known who Gene Tunney was before you watched this. I'll admit, I didn't. But, after watching this video, you can see a lot of where Muhammad Ali got his technique- not his style necessarily. Tunney came from that old school style of boxing- the image you get of Popeye with his fists up. And there are traits in his style that you can see in the way Muhammad Ali ran around the ring, kept his hands down, and his chin up.
    Anyway, that's all I have. Sorry for the rant.

This is one of them, along with your video on Jersey Joe Walcott. The Old Timers can keep boxers like Tunney alive for a generation or two, but after the Old Timers pass on these boxers need someone to resuscitate them. You've essentially revived Gene Tunney and made him accessible to an entire generation of boxing fans, Reznick. Thank you.

      @@trinihammer Absolutely it's safe to say that Gene Tunney was the first scientific fighter. The "American style "of boxing (a.k.a) "African American style "quick feet , lateral movement, hit without being hit, taking advantage of your opponents weakness. That all started with Gene Tunney.

    Tunney is often overlooked as far as all time greats are concerned but his resume is nothing less than awesome, he doesn't just have Greb and Dempsey in his portfolio, you can count Loughran, Gibbons, Delaney, Levinsky and many Others. Definitely underrated by most .

    Gene Tunney was a thinking man's boxer. Which explains why Jack Dempsey was a lot more popular, even after getting beat twice by Tunney. The masses will never appreciate intellect because its less tangible than pure force. Similar to how Andre Ward will never get full credit for beating Kovalev twice, Tunney never got full credit for taking down Dempsey with the long count controversy. Boxing fans never change.

Mary Lydon was Gene Tunney's mother from Kiltimagh, Co Mayo. So it would appear I have a few unknown relatives in this thread who I will contact in due course !

    It's difficult to think of a better all around me hanic in ring history.. flawless technique. Almost never put a foot wrong and when he did, he learnt from it.. stamina, durability, power, ringcraft, speed, ability to fight going forwards or backwards...and above all, temperament. Completely unflappable in a crisis..
    I think a prime Dempsey might have overwhelmed him judging on the couple of occasions he DID catch up to him...but I'm by no means certain.
    Definitely one of the very greatest.
