| Once again you guys called it and once again it is a Ninja Immortal Gene Tunney http://www.ringtv.com/blog/2282/the_best_of_all_time_a_to_z_tunney/My favorite Tunney stories are two Grantland Rice tells. He and Tunney are golfing in 1924, two years before Tunney will fight Dempsey. Tunney is already so focused he hits his shots, drops his club and runs down the fairways saying "Dempsey, Dempsey, Dempsey" while throwing punches. The other is of the sparring match Rice set up between 59 year old Jim Corbett and Tunney and how amazed and complimentary Tunney was afterwards. The right choice I think. The Honorable mentions are undisputed 160 and 175 king Dick Tiger, 1920's bantamweight champ Bud Taylor, 1920's lightweight and southpaw Lew Tendler, Felix Trinidad and Mike Tyson. | |

| Great choice. My personal favorite out of all the choices so far. Why? Gene Tunney has been underrated his entire career, while Tyson, (a good highlight film) has been overrated. "The Ring", thank God, knows boxing. | |

Geeze I don't even think that's close do you? Tunney went 9-1-1 against HOFers. Tyson went what? Probably 2-3? | |
