        Two difficult questions. I'd give (at their best) a slight edge to Pinklon.

        They both achieved about the same amount of their potential. Both had successful careers but they could have gone a little farther.

          Pinklon might have been more skilled at his peak, but tucker had better longevity..

          Both came up at roughly the same time, but by late 80s pinklon was terribly faded, and tucker, while not great was a ranked guy into the bowe/holyfield era

            Tucker was a pupil of the "Old School" he really knew how to `look after` himself in the ring. Unfortunately he never knew how to `look after` himself in life itself.. drugs destroyed him and his career.

              Slight edge to Pinklon, but Tony was no slouch, unfortunately,his career didn't go on the footing it should have.

                - -Tony one of the most naturally gifted fighters in history, not Pink.

                Had there been no DKing, he'd have played out prime better. When his daddy/mgr ran off with his entire Tyson purse, he succumbed greatly, but even in dissipation he gave Lewis all he could handle.

                  Early in his career, missed 7 and 15 months in his career. That hurt him tremendously.
