Tony Tubbs' father Roger Tubbs passed away Oct. 8th in Cincinnati, OH after a long 2 year fight with lung cancer. Roger was one of the hardest workers I think I've seen. Even after diagnosed and feeling ill he didnt let that stop him from his work in construction. It was hard to keep Roger down but after a while the cancer took its toll and I'm glad he's not in pain anymore but I'm sad that Mr. Roger Tubbs won't be there to great me with a big smile and a strong handshake anymore.
God bless

Ahhh...embarrassing mistakes. They make life interesting. Seriously though I hope the Tubbs family can recover from the loss and its easy to see how they got their toughness. That is one tough guy.

Probably the most accomplished fighter who posted here he truly was a world champ in most of our eyes. The fact that he spent some of his remaining time talking to us and continuing construction his a testament to his love of his sport and hard work. They just don't make heavyweights like him anymore. I hope his family is secure and I hope his son turns out well and is something like his father. Thank you for answering our questions and may God bless your family and you wherever you are.
