    Tubbs all day, everyday. One of the great talents the division has seen.

    The sponsors of sleep studies would be the big winners.

    In spite of his rotundity and as measured in absolute terms, Tubbs hand speed was very impressive.

    Even accounting for the Holmes and Spinks fights, I could possibly rate Mike’s destruction of Tubbs as his most impressive win in ‘88.

    Tubbs did try to throw down and had his brief successes but Tyson remained cool and ultimately destroyed him - and Mike’s own hand speed stood him very good stead against an opponent who was also notably fast handed.

    Leaning towards Tubbs. I’m guessing that he’d be a little bit busier than Bugner. Probably close fight though and not exactly a barn burner for action

    Hey, diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks, I says.

    But since you kinda/sorta brought it up, Conrad Bain was the worst television father ever. Look how all those kids turned out.

    Gomez Addams remains the all-time best TV father: madly in love with his wife, adores his kids, opens his home to any relative, rich but not greedy and not a slave to work so he can spend more time at home with his loving family.
