Tony Tucker -Pinklon Thomas - Who Was the better fighter?

Thomas for both. Tucker had some nice pieces of the puzzle but never quite seemed to be able to put them together. He never seemed like the finished product Thomas appeared to be.

 

Thomas was briefly the better fighter when both were prime. Tucker had greater longevity though and was still moderately affective in the early 90s

 

Fortunately Pinklon got clean and from what I’ve read is doing better these days. Was helping troubled teens for a while. Hope he lives a long life. Tony Tucker had amazing potential though. He was very mobile for a big guy. Was durable with stamina and a decent punch. Skills weren’t too bad either. But too much of his career was squandered fighting journeyman and trial horse opposition

 

I say Tucker was much better. He was a beast, something like 34-0, a good boxer. Very athletic. He looked very good to me in the videos I have seen. IMO he would have been Tyson's toughest opponent at heavyweight, but broke his right hand pre-fight, and decided to take the fight anyways, too much money was involved. As I recall, he did the rope-a-dope all night, and did not appear worse for wear and tear after the fight.
