In the battle of left hooks who would and win and how.
Tua would have the size advantage but dont now if it matters. Frazier was a beast and I think he would have what it took to crack Tua. with tua with not too good defense and frazier with a good one.
who wins?
Left Hook Tua

tua has problems with taller guys with a jab or slick movers.
joe is neither.
they're about the same height. reach should be similar.
tua has more pop and the better chin.
joe had great heart and stamina but how would he wear down tua?
tua by ko.

id say tua would just be bigger than him if he wasnt crouching.

he's definitely wider. prime frazier was what 200-205? prime tua was 215-225.
i don't know who's taller though.
joe is for sure 5'11 1/2
i've seen tua listed 5'10 or 5'11 and i've even heard him say he's 5'9.
either way height and reach is of no concern in this fight.
i hate to say a great like joe would lose to someone who's not as great like tua but styles make fights and tua's a bad matchup for joe.

Tua is shorter but he's definitely bigger at 225-230 lbs and a 20 inch neck.
Tua by Ko, bad style matchup, Tua can't be hurt or worn down and he's got more power and speed.

i knew you would reply but i would of thought others would.
anyhows, if i was joe frazier i would watch his fight with lewis and keep away from his left hook and try to get some of my own in. if joe just outpointed him with the jab for the majority of the rounds and didnt get kod and say frazier would win.

Joe wouldn't change his plan all of a sudden and start getting on his bicycle and jabbing, you need to assess the fight on how Joe usually fought, that was coming forward. He comes forward vs someone who's bigger and stronger and he loses a la foreman.

if he wlosing half way through the fight i would of thought that his corner would of told him to change his tactics.
