    Did he though?
    He went the distance. Outside of one good uppercut in the 1st round I dont recall Tucker letting his hands go.

    Did Spinks avoid him or was it that the money wasn't good enough? Two separate things

    Yes he did, he was also a much easier opponent.

    Relatively speaking he did. Peak Tyson was a handful. Tucker let his hands go more than bonecrusher smith did.

    He did not live up to his potential. Drugs took that away form him. At his best he was a good fighter with excellent dimensions.
