    Tubbs, could be slick defensively, not big puncher but good ring IQ .
    Proved his toughness, alongside the other 80 s guys.
    Up against Fury, With his size advantage,his awkwardness and surprising mobility.
    And this Will be over the old school distance of 15 , which maybe or maybe not, can make a difference Here.?

    Fury. Just as fast as TNT and heavier with longer reach.

    Fury does have a much longer reach, and, he might be able to win a close decision. But it would definitely be competitive. Fury is nowhere near as fast as Tubbs. Tubbs lack of discipline could be a problem, but, he is a better boxer than anybody Fury beat.

    Tubbs at his best befuddles and outboxes the overrated Fury.

    Tubbs past his prime came within a whisker of almost beating a near prime Bowe.

    Tubbs has the handspeed and movement to make Fury look awkward.

    Thr 80 - 85 version of Tubbs is probably the best part of his career.
    After that his his motivation became a problem, the weight he carried at times.

    I pick Fury in a close and competitive fight that could go the other way

    Tubbs would be a very difficult fight for Fury. His speed would be tricky. Tony give Bowe a very tough fight he would be similar with fury

    Would go with Fury. But would not be shocked in a distance fight and very close at that with some people scoring it for Tubbs

    TNT was one of the best of the 80s 'Alpha Boys' as far as talent went.

    Have to favor Fury. His immense height and reach would negate Tubbs skill and hand speed. And Tony didn’t have the kind of style or punching power to hurt him
