    Thank you yes i reckon Pinky achieved A LOT MORE, that's the most we can go on in these fantasy fights, Pinky in my opinion wasn't a plodder:huh, and let's be real 2 inch is NOT going to make a real difference here, that's the size of my Pinky, and it's hard to see a guy who really didn't fight with a lot of fire outboxing a guy with a jab as good as Pinky's it just isn't there..:-(

    ps Some guy's look taller than they really are by their hair style, or their shoes, and your taller in the Morning than when you go to bed at night, to me when a guy is only 2 inch taller than the other guy it's not even recognizable when they are in the ring, Height is over-rated anyways, talent much more important...

    Did Thomas achieve more than Tucker ?

    Vs Tyson Tucker did far better
    Getting beat by a younger Lewis is at least on par with dropping a decision to Berbick
    Stopping Douglas > stopping Tillis
    stalemate with a younger McCall on par with stalemate with Witherspoon
    Decisions over both Broad & Everett Martin about on par with stopping an older and always vulnerable Mike Weaver whom Tucker would have done about as good against if only given the opportunity.

    That is not quite as good as it looks in print though. Even though he reigned from 84-86, he only made one successful defence of the title before losing it. I guess thats still one more that Tucker managed though.

    Well, he actually beat a titlist to win his title, and a pretty good one at that in Witherspoon, unlike Tucker. That win is better than anything Tucker has.

    WAS best known for beating Douglas. (In addition to amassing a 35-0 record and winning an IBF title).
    Until he gave Tyson a good fight when he was a monster and Lewis at his absolute best.
    Beat both the fighters Tyson and Lewis first lost to and got knocked out by!
    Tucker was more than a fair fighter.

    Also beat Jimmy Young, albeit late in his career, and Eddie"The Animal"Lopez, also late in his career, but did the trick.And James Broad also.
