By Ken Hissner: The first that comes to mind is former world heavyweight champion Gene “The Fighting Marine” Tunney at 65-1-1 with 48 stoppages from 1915 to 1928, only losing to one of the greatest pound for pound fighters in Harry “The Pittsburgh Windmill” Greb, 195-10-16 for the American Light Heavyweight title in May of 1922.
Tunney would go on to defeat Greb in February and December in 1923, a draw in September 1924, and defeat in March 1925. He was from Greenwich, CT.
