The gentleman boxer

No review of Gene Tunney can be fulfilled without showing his role as the "gentleman boxer" of the 1920s: lecturer at Harvard, reader of the classics, confidante of George Bernard Shaw and other writers. See David Margolick, "The Reader in the Ring," New York Review of Books 54(9): 46-48 (May 31, 2007) [[1]].
