    Sadly he could probably beat both those bums who fought in an eliminator on HBO last month.

    I'm having a senior moment, please refresh my memory. Is this Bermane Stiverne and Ray Austin we are talking about?

    Id advise Tony against it big time, way too late to attempt it at this age.

    Wow, time really flies. It doesn't seem all that long ago when an older Tubbs outboxed Brian Minto...

    Glad to see Tubbs cleaning his life up.

    I wish people knew more about his career then that Tyson destruction. If he would have stayed in shape, he could have done so much more. Fast hands.

    Ron Lyle won a few fights at 53, and I believe Tony can too, but it's not advisable. He can beat a few bums, but will get ko'd by the first decent foe he faces.

    Tubbs was a decent fighter for a fat guy... fast hands and took it to Tyson with very little fear
