    He had better carriage. As Miles Davis understood, that is the most crucial aspect of the fight game.

    Marciano would hurt Tubbs badly

    Yeah, he'd punch a hole through that fat belly.

    Tubbs is one of the least impressive of the 1980s alphabet champions. All he had was the mythical "talent". Shame he hardly did sh!t with it. :lol:

    Were he filmed with modern digital cameras that could capture his subtleties and nuance you would be eating those words. He was truly a next level craftsman of the ring.

    He has good speed, good skills. Punches sharp.
    He needs to refine his power, balance, and athleticism.

    Honestly he's a good boxer. But Marciano is in on another level.

    I agree. Marciano is a cruiserweight legend and Tubbs is a heavyweight legend. It's not fair to compare.

    Seamus has been posting here long enough for you guys to figure out his style. Sometimes he makes threads and posts to incite discussion and other times to be facetious and funny. He may think Tubbs has a chance, but he wouldn't pick Tubbs when it came time to bet money. Seamus knows, that what they both accomplished in the ring... means you'd have to give the benefit of the doubt to Rocky. It's really that simple
