REMEMBER A GREAT AND LENGTHY article on hwy prospect Tony Tucker from 1984..........it was informative, had pictures and introduced him to the boxing public. It may have been in Boxing Scene or another old magazine.......it related he was fighting out of Florida and described him as an adonis........I am trying to locate the old Magazine and article. Does anyone remember it...............Please post any answers....................... ..............

I had a library of Boxing magazines back then but can't particularly remember that article.BUT I met Tony Tucker at Fairlane mall back in 83- 84?Big impressive guy just standing there people watching.
I do remember reading in one of the magazines that he was like Muhammad Ali in the fact that he had fought in basically every weight division as an amateur to a pro from flyweight(or bantam I can't remember) to Heavy.

Tony was a top heavy prospect in the early 80s, one of Tomorrow's Champions with Ayala, Ramos, and Bumphus, but injuries derailed him.
