Tony Tucker was a professional heavyweight boxer during the 1980s and 1990s. Nicknamed "TNT" , he won a gold medal at the 1979 Pan American Games, and was briefly a world heavyweight champion as a professional. In addition to being a heavyweight champion, Tucker was twice the #1 ranked contender and both times the reigning world heavyweight champion was stripped of their title rather than fight him. He was 6'5 and fought best around the 220s, and generally would win fights by knockout. ~ Wikipedia. |
