FROM THE BOOKS
Gene Tunney boxed from 1915 to 1928 and lost only one battle-to Harry Greb, whom he later defeated. Unlike most champions, he coped well with the wealth and fame: he was a cultured man who mixed with writers and artists; he succeeded in business, and he saw one of his sons enter Congress.
