    I like Corrie Sanders here for the following reasons:

    1. While neither fighter was very devoted to training but Tubbs was worse.
    2. Sanders had fast hands to match Tubbs hand speed which was one of his few assets.
    3. Tubbs was KO’d by left hooks a few times in his career and Corrie was a pure south paw with a lethal left hook with fast hands, huge power and the slight edge in height and reach.

    Sanders

    Sidenote: Nate Tubbs, Tony Tubbs’ brother, knocked out Sanders.

    Yeah... my first thought. The guys who kinda burst the Sanders' bubble the first time around.

    Tubbs was a totally different class to Sanders.

    Sanders is better than both Tubbs by some margin. He should have rematched Nate, spanked him and gone on with his life the same as Lewis did after Rahman and McCall.
