    Tucker did well with his jab until he broke his hand in the 3rd or 4th I think it was, the jab blinds Tyson to the uppercut which would work in Foreman's favor because Foreman's jab would play a factor in the fight and Foreman had a devastating uppercut, again I'm not saying Foreman wins but it wouldn't be a blowout and would be a tough for Tyson because of their styles.
    Thats's a pretty good point, good boxers often used the jab to set up uppercuts on him.

    I think Tucker is really underrated, didn't he go 12 rounds with a Prime Lewis? He looked out of shape also and was like, 34 years old. I'm curious how the fight would have gone if they had both fought in their Primes.

      Tucker had good talent, I think he had drug problems when he fought Lewis, but I wouldn't say that was a prime Lewis, the Lewis from 1996-1999 was a better fighter IMO, Lewis did have a very good performance against Ruddock before the Tucker fight though.

      Prime Lewis would have beaten Prime Tucker IMO.
