Tucker in his prime, was a good boxer. In the 1980's he was known as a good operator, and a good boxer, quite a contrast to the man who was beaten by Lennox Lewis. Not only did he have a rock jaw but he was a NATURAL fighter. the guy had it all
Tucker had a long spell of inactivity after the Tyson fight, and he had problems with drug addiction also. Never the less he had sound skills and was amongst the mix in the heavyweight division in the late 1980's. |

Tony Tucker's style
Actually, I think Tony Tucker was actually more of a boxer than anything else. He had a lot of knockouts but wasn't a flat footed slugger. In the game, he has a very high hitting power rating, but his punches landed isn't much to brag about. It allows him to be outworked, as was the case with the real life version of Tucker.
On the other hand, he will take a lot of lesser fighters out with his single-shot power. Jim |
