    except Tyson vs Tillis was a really hard fought fight. Bowe vs Tubbs was a very mild waltz by comparison even if it was a similar stage of development.

    It was, like Futch said, a very good learning experience for Bowe.

    I really don`t think Tubbs was a world class fighter by that time.

    Tyson showed more skill v Tillis who used the high guard well than Bowe showed v Tubbs, his hooks to the body and head were far more impressive than Bowe`s.

    Many did. Holyfield, Old Foreman and Lewis to name a few.

    With a last name like Tubbs, Tony was destined to always be a world class fighter. From the womb to the tomb. From the cradle to the grave. Tony Tubbs: every second of the day a world class fighter!

    And don't you forget it Mark!!

    WRONG!! Tyson beat Tillis in a trial by fire, Bowe lost to Tubbs in a rights of passage. Both those fights assured us fans that Tubbs would've beaten Holyfield. FACT!!

    Unusual reasoning to say the least. But I enjoy the humour.

    When would Lewis have ducked Tubbs? He probably didn`t even know who Tubbs was, Tubbs wasn`t a top 10 contender while Lewis was a pro. Ruddock was higher rated than Tubbs when Lewis blew him out.

    But Holyfield was better than Tubbs and more proven.
