Tubbs. He was a master boxer with a deep bag of talent... hand speed, foot speed, fierceness... in a big package.
Tubbs was a better boxer than he looked at first glance. He wasn’t a poster boy for athletic fitness but he had very fast hands, good defense and could surprisingly go 15 rounds despite his usual lack of conditioning. As for Mairis Breidis, I guess he decent but I don’t understand all these threads featuring him as of late
Tubbs was talented and spent his career at heavy. I would have to pick him. Breidis is really good, a Shame he didn’t have more fights. Dorticus, Huck, Glowacki, are good scalps and he ran Usyk the closest out of anyone so far. Will he make hof? He had the talent not sure he had body of work.
A peak Tubbs with his blistering handspeed for a Heavyweight and good movement would outbox Breidis and win a decision.
This is funny because it's tongue in cheek but it's also true if you really think about it. When you really think about it, there have been a lot of fat sloppy HW's with crazy hand/foot speed and a good amount of pop. I'd pick the actual HW here. There's precious few CW's I think would just hop up and beat on HW's that had standout abilities (Tubbs was one of those). And the guys Tubbs lost to (in his prime, whatever that was) I don't think Breidis would have beaten any of them either.
You mean by height not size right because he was a fatboy. He was definitely in that 235-250 range I believe.
