    I'm not saying Bonecrusher Smith necessarily beats Tony Tucker, I also think Bonecrusher Smith is a bit overrated himself on this forum. But he still has more notable performances than Tucker destroying Weaver, Witherspoon, in 1 round each. And his come from behind win vs Bruno, who was alot more highly thought of than Douglas was at the time.

    The previous comment wasn't directed at you personally, but I'm just always baffled why Tony Tucker gets very heavily favoured in Head to Head match ups, because as I've said before theres no stand out performances regarding actual wins on his resume.

    I'd probably give the edge to Tucker to win by decision in this match up, but can I just ask did Tucker ever beat a hard puncher like Bonecrusher Smith ? Tony Tucker has no convincing win over a top fighter on his resume.

    Tucker on points, he was the better boxer of the two.
