Oppose Deletion[edit]

i would oppose deletion of this WP article. An entire chapter is devoted to Tunney Hunsaker (including an interview of Hunsaker) and the Hunsaker-Ali boxing bout in the book Facing Ali and Hunsaker is remembered for being the very first opponent of Muhammad Ali in Ali's professional boxing career. The Hunsaker-Ali fight is covered in numerous books and articles. The book Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times features an interview of Hunsaker and a description of the Hunsaker-Ali fight.Soham321 (talk) 13:02, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A clarification: the chapter on Hunsaker in Facing Ali is not confined to the Ali-Hunsaker fight. Rather it includes a biographical profile of Hunsaker. Soham321 (talk) 15:11, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
