No One Believed These Gene Tunney Stories! Until They Watched This!

No One Believed These Gene Tunney Stories! Until They Watched This! Gene Tunney survived one of the worst beatings in boxing history, vanished into the Canadian wilderness as a lumberjack, then spent five years building a plan to dethrone Jack Dempsey. He did it twice, walked away undefeated, married into steel money, and never came back. Here are 10 things you never knew about the fighting marine. Before he outthought Dempsey in front of 100,000 people at Soldier Field, Tunney was nearly killed by Harry Greb in a 15-round war that left him hospitalized. Instead of avoiding Greb, he studied him, rebuilt his entire style, and beat him three times. He enlisted in the Marines, won the AEF Light Heavyweight Championship with a broken hand, read Shakespeare in the trenches, and turned himself into the most disciplined heavyweight the division had ever seen. After retiring undefeated, he befriended George Bernard Shaw, ran corporate boardrooms, served as a Navy captain in World War II, and never once considered a comeback. The brawler and the thinker started as rivals and ended as brothers. #GeneTunney #JackDempsey #TheLongCount #BoxingHistory #IronEraLegends Chapters 0:00 Introduction 2:00 #1 The Longshoreman's Son 3:55 #2 The Marine Who Read Shakespeare in the Trenches 5:24 #3 The Lumberjack Winter 7:07 #4 The Night Harry Greb Nearly Killed Him 9:44 #5 The Rainy Night He Dethroned Dempsey 11:50 #6 The Long Count 15:08 #7 The Champion Who Walked Away 16:52 #8 Steel Money and George Bernard Shaw 18:58 #9 The Business Empire and the Second War 20:45 #10 The Fighter They Never Loved Facts and stories used to write the script of this video are well-researched.
