    I have seen his fight against Page where he looked good but it was a disciplined fight. Which is the best display of his skill and speed?.

    I would say Page or Smith, but to answer the question I think Smith was the fastest I've ever seen Tubbs, as well as beating a big name in the process.

    So many to choose from!

    I'll have to consider this in meditation.

    I’ve always said that he boxed a really good first round against Tyson.

    Probably Page or Smith, but in Greg's defense, I think Tony caught him at the right time and came into the fight in somewhat decent shape.

    It wasn’t his best performance but Tony did look pretty good in out boxing Bruce Seldon in the early nineties. Had him down early too

    Yep he handled Seldon easily and he gave Bowe a tough in parts fight.
