    Both were very fast, with the slight edge to Dokes, but Tubbs had better boxing ability. In a 15 rounder, could Michael beat Tony or would Tony just straight outbox him?

    Dynamite Vs TNT ? i think their powder must of got wet somewhere along the way, i would lean to Tubb's i think his consistency would outweigh Dokes's more sporadic flurries, Tubb's on points.

    I'll go Dokes, Tubbs didn't impress me that much. Dokes substancially heavier hands allow him to dictate a bit more IMO.

    A 1989 Dokes would probably knock tubbs out... but a 'prime' dokes from the early eighties would lose a decision (Dokes was so inconsistent when he was snorting coke)

    Tubbs jab would be too much for Dokes to solve.
