Carl the truth Williams/ Tony TNT Tucker.
Posted: 13 Sep 2006, 15:07
Recently I read a good article on Carl Williams, he lives in NJ and is retired working security.........The 80's heavyweight has had some ups and down. A good fighter who challenged for but did not capture a title.......... the first real article about him appeared in 1985 and he was like 14 wins with 0 losses and he is posing. He had a bright future. His career parallels Tony tucker, both were 6'5'' both challenged for a title with tucker winning a ibf title and both boxed in to the latter years losing and winning some fight. Really both boxed a little longer than they should have........... both retired and to the best of my knowledge neither ended up financially well off.......... Tucker lives in florida and helps run a night club. I tend to think Tucker was the better of the two , he gave tyson a good rumble and knocked out Douglass for a title and he had an very good amateur career. ....... Williams, had a shorter amateur career and was moved too fast. he gave Holmes a good rumble but was stopped early by tyson and also lost by ko to weaver. He did have a good vicory over Bert Cooper........ did these tw fighters ever spar togehter or was there ever going to be a fight between the two........... I think it would have a good rumble...... Boxing fans should wish these two 1980 heavyweights fighters the best in their retirements......during their career they also gave their best.......... Boxing is not an easy sport......................
