It is a real 50-50. Based on the fighters they could of been maybe Biggs has the edge. Based on how they actually were at their best I would say Tucker because he was a good 12 round fighter where as Biggs never really developed into a strong distance fighter before reaching championship level. whilst neither reached their full potential IMO the more carefully groomed Tucker was more the finished article. Tucker wpts 12.
Poor old Tyrell ! thanks choklab ! See my question for you at the current end of biggs-mason thread. Thanks again for your feedback...well reasoned as always.
I think these guys sparred around the time of the 1984 Olympics, according to Manny Steward.I like Tyrell, but Tony would win a close one.Tyrell probably has the better jab, and probably might be faster, but not much else over Tony.
Great match. Tyrell by UD if he puts on a clinic with the jab. Tucker had more in his arsenal and big power as the great equalizer. real 50/50. I love the Bowe/Biggs fight. Bowe came out aggressive and hit Biggs with some big shots early, then Biggs just started pumping that jab and got Bowe off of him.
Hookfromhell..yep the bowe fight was Tyrells best At top level..myself and a few others have had quite a de briec of tyrells career om the Tyrell Biggs v Gary Mason thread..just in case you are interested...Tyrell one of my favourites..had his problems outside the ring but a great guy who never seemed to get a break...Tony Tucker nice boxer too..badly managed early on..only guy to go the distance with Mr Tyson and Mr Lewis !
