who was the real ''TNT''?

Tony "TNT" Tu..

.... I really dont know. They should've fought to settle it.

Shame neither of them really lived up to that nickname. The only thing explosive about Tubbs was his rapidly expanding waistline, and Tucker was more of a stink bomb than a stick of dynamite.

 

Meldrick TNT Taylor

 

Not probable...plus the nickname was not a real good fit for him either...just my personal fav w/ the nickname

 

A good nickname does not (always) need to fit; Bomber Graham; Iron Mike; Bonecrusher Smith; Razor Ruddock; Terrible Terry (Norris; granted he nicked it); Cobra Curry; Buster Douglas; they just need to roll off the tongue IMO.

 

And in other news, the sky is blue.

 

Both turned pro in 1980; I think Tubbs was first by a half of a year, but Tucker may have hit harder. I feel it was Tubbs.

 

At the beginning, judging by what I've seen, I would say Tucker.He seemed to have more power than Tubbs.

 

Duran deserves a mention

 

Hal 'TNT' Carroll came before either of them.

 

Tubbs had the nickname first
