Yea, Tunney did rough up Jack Dempsey who was also a natural lightweight BTW, but Tunney was himself roughed up pretty badly by one of the best natural lightweights that ever lived, Harry Greb.

And yes, Devil, it is dissimilar in that Tunney and Greb were the best fighters of their time, but it is similar in that Simoni weighs roughly what Greb weighed and you weigh roughly what Tunney weighed and, at least at this point, neither of you has had a pro fight.

I think your agent should contact his agent. We could bill it as " The Hardheaded Trentino takes on The Devil"(not to be confused with the devil that is a fixture at the TDF who, if Simoni gets testy enough, he may end up taking on as well).
