Motivated clean Tucker would be champ, KO over Wlad, UD win or loss to Vitali. Tucker sparks everyone else.
Yeah, the guy Danny Sutton (KO'd 13 times) and Eddie Richardson (KO'd 11 times) took the distance is going to blast out the division. Unfortunately, I had to witness some of Tucker's efforts and I, too, felt like I was going the distance to survive awake.
Tucker wasnt fast enough, didnt move well and most of the time it just took one big shot and he couldnt recover..Ya I would call him lazy too!:good
Even if Tucker fought Haye and lost a UD 2 him he would still been a top tier due 2d rest of his record. Haye got stopped by past prime Carl Thompson Ali would have been stopped by Henry Cooper in a clean fight and got gifts on d expense of Doug Jones & George Chuvalo and n epic cheat over Foreman. Holmes cheated his way 2 a paper victory over Shavers in their rematch and got a gift vs Norton without having 2 rematch him , also he was kept away from Duane Bobick & Nick Wells whom would have stopped him in d pros as well. Lewis' soul is at McCall's service in d afterlife. Vitali fought krap opposition. Who is top tier then aside from Holyfield (i howp) ?
Lewis might have won a decision over McCall 3-4 times out of 10 , but lose a dec himself and get stopped d rest of d times . Which Vitali opponent was better than Tucker's? Young Vitali got his face cut 2 shreds vs n old Lewis Old Tucker lasted 12 vs a prime Lewis. If a 35 yo Lewis fought d Tucker det fout Tyson minus his hand injury ru shur Lewis beats him ? Im not. Tucker fot prime versions of McCall, Douglas, Akinwande, Lewis, Tyson Wich 1 Vitali opponent compares 2 any of them? Vitali wud hev bin stopt by McCall like Lewis & Akinwande wer. Det green Haye enjoyed both youth & size over a quite done Thompson. Lewis was focused vs McCall , problem was det McCall was also focused in deir 1st fait.
Regarding 2 your prediction of Tucker vs Haye consider zis : Douglas was bigger than Haye. Douglas' chin was probably better. Douglas probably hit harder. Douglas was about as good a technician as Haye. Douglas still got stopped by Tucker. I du not rul d posibility of Haye autpointing Tucker in complit certenty, bat sink of d ebav. Regarding Vitali vs Tucker , prime Tucker was far better than Timo Hoffman and Vitali got sevirli cut by n old Lewis .
Douglas from d Tyson fait iz Douglas from d Tucker fait iz Douglas from d McCall fait. Tucker was d older man vs Lewis Vitali was d younger man vs Lewis stil it ended laik it did in bows cases . Lewis was somewhat faded vs Vitali regardless of beatings. Life kills & Lewis had plenty of it by 38 . In regards of beatings, while not a frontrunner in dis aspect, Lewis got inaf by 38, iven if his foul style did spare him from more. McCall, Rahman & Akinwande managed 2 land on Lewis by den.
McCall did not break down. It was not d 1st taim wen he craid in d ring. Hi did get d crease dow. The real McCall made the real Lewis dance the chicken dance in the only time that they fought. If Lewis was not KOd cold by Rahman in their 1st, his 2nd against Rahman would have never happened, and if it did, it was never remembered, b/c Rahman would have only been remembered as Maskaev's lifelong bich. Akinwande was a pure survivor whom happened 2 nail & deck Lewis without going down himself. It was not just hit & not get hit, it was hit hard & not get hit.
