    Could Sharkey replicate what Tucker did? Sharkey of 1927 vs the Tyson of 1987. Sharkey was very slick, slicker than Tucker.

    I do not like prime Jack Sharkey's chances against the overwhelming aggression of a prime Mike Tyson.

    Sharkey is toast here. He lacks the strenght and size required to keep Tyson's at bay. This fight will go up to the middle rounds only because Sharkey is tough and courageous, but eventually he goes down.

    Tucker was bigger than Sharkey and also probably smarter defensively.
    Sharkey may have had better head movement, but Tucker being so much taller, didn’t need to to last the distance against Tyson, and attempting to use it would have put himself in the firing range of Tyson’s combinations.

    Sharkey was similar to Tyson in height so he couldn’t just fence to stay away, he’d have to use head movement, but I think the size of Tyson is able to bully him against the ropes so he has nowhere to go, then he takes him out early.

    Both men feint and befuddled each other to a disappointing draw. Rematch ends in a No Contest.

    So are you saying Sharkey stops Tyson in 3 rounds?
