    Tucker gives him a boxing lesson behind the jab and ties him up in close.

    TNT Tucker, a heavyweight world champion that doesn't get the limelight he deserves

    Perhaps because he missed out on fighting most of the elite heavyweights of his time.

    I think Tucker wins this by decision. Decent fight.

    I agree with the folks picking Tucker. I pick him as well but could it be interesting if Brewster landed some of his haymaker left hooks? I think it could become a very interesting fight.

    Probably Tucker. Not that he was great but he was a bit more mobile and skilled than Brewster. He also had the chin to take his punches. I’m guessing it’ll ends up being a decision.

    Lamon Brewster was one of the few heavyweights I got excited about in the mid 2000's.

    Tony Tucker of the 1980s was a talented and tough boxer.

    I favour Tucker

    Tucker beats Brewster, as Brewster normal game plan of getting beat half to death in the first half of the fight, then rally doesn't work as TNT is a survivor in the late rounds.
