    He was one of my favorites of that era as well. Hell, I was watching his fight with Riddick Bowe the other day and I almost cried from wishing we had a time portal to transport some of these 80's/90's fighters to the present time. Oh how far the heavyweight division has fallen...:-(

    Tubbs is still an idiot just cuz he fathered 16 *******s with various ho's from his hood in which he cannot afford...... The hell was Tubbs thinking???? Tubbs is a bigger degenerate than Holy..... WORD!

    At age 53, Tubbs is going nowhere in the ring..... Most states will not license him..... He'll be fighting in Alabama against a tanker in some farm tent..... That ain't a legit way to come back in boxing.......

    Wow, time really flies. It doesn't seem all that long ago when an older Tubbs outboxed Brian Minto...

    You know honestly, I was only watching the fight for pure entertainment purposes this time. I plan on going back and watching it again sometime in the future to score it, but I must say that from what I recall, Tubbs wasn't schooling Bowe as much as people claim he was. Yes, Riddick had some trouble finding him at times, but it wasn't a landslide or anything. Again, that is just from me trying to think back off the top of my head (there could be some Bowe-bias in there to be honest though, haha). When I watch it again and score it, I will let you know my scores.:thumbsup

    I hope Ancient-Fossil Tubbs doesn't get a license, but i know he will. :-(

    Let's just hope he faces bums & doesn't get hurt.

    People seem to forget that ex Raider scab turned boxer Jimmy Ellis who was wasted by Foreman on HBO back in 1991 actually KO'd Tubbs in one round......
    :shock:

    Tubbs had good skills at one time very long ago, but he was always chinny...
    :deal

    Tubbs is a fossil for the sake of Amon Ra...:bbb

    MR.BILL:hat
