    I don't have much of a break down to offer here, but I can't see how Tubbs wins this. At best he might put on a good show for a while and maybe steal a few rounds. But he's outmatched.

    Tubbs at his best which was a rare thing lets say the version who gave bowe fits could beat vit blazing hand speed and movement he could do it.However nine times out of ten vitali wins.

    These two used to spar quite a bit together.

    I heard even a faded Tubbs did well in sparring with the Klitchkos

    But sparring is one thing

    I think Klitchko would use his superior strength and conditioning to outlast Tubbs, probably dominating the late rounds.

    Klitchko by decision.

    battle of the part titlists, split decision to vits probably.

    even if tubs beat him once, you'd give vitali the edge in the rematch due to his longevity compared to tubs lack it.

    not sure he was dude, he never beat a lineal.

    I know some kliturds try to pretend that corrie sanders, the 38 year old guy retired from a failed world boxing career with no success in contention or getting a title shot, was some kind of lineal champ.

    but, just NO. Corrie got a title when he was shot2 shyte BECAUSE wlad was so poor h2h.

    vitali was a part titlist for sure, first unknown WBO which he lost with a whimper to MW/LHW, plus the long wbc stint gifted him by his brothers paucity. No unification to speak of.

    But he had excellent longevity.

    Tubbs would probably get the better of things whilst fresh but he'd wear down and lose a decision i think.

    What speedy boxers in the mould did Klit fight?

    I see u r a kliturd posting from planet K, the only place where vitali beat lennox. And where Hitler, magically still alive, has a horse ranch.

    that's ok, no need for me to post further.

    Donald was a pretty good boxer. Gomez was a very good boxer with speed. VItlai maybe lost two rounds in both fights.

    Tubbs had a nice jab, but it would not be enough here.

    Vitali via TKO.
