David Tua vs Heavyweight Greats?

[StarshipTrooper]

Not a bad choice of words. Tua was totally out of it and even after the ref called the fight Tua still thought it was on. He was totally dazed and confused.

edit: I'm not hating on Tua. In all fairness, Tua was fighting a ridiculous opponent that probably would have beat Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, etc in an amateur bout.

In fairness to Tyson, Mike was never that good of an amatuer (two losses to Henry Tillman are the best evidence). D'Amato had trained Tyson from the get go to be a proffesional not an amatuer and being very different sports things that work well in one don't necessarily translate well to the other.

the names i've mentioned. don't know if poleaxed , but stopped him.

If that's true, it's amazing because no one ever stopped him without head gear on and that was over nearly 20 years in 3 divisions of which he was a world champion in each, and I'm sure you'll be aware of who he's been in with.. He's destroyed much better fighters than Aldama and Ramos .. McCallum took full blooded shots from Julian Jackson, let alone Clinton Jackson, so how in Gods name was he getting twatted by his sparring partners?

Tua and Sonny Liston would be sweet.

McCallum did not take full blooded shots from Julian Jackson , he clinched in the right moment. i don't know how legal it is in the ams.

McCallum took quite a few `full-blooded shots`from Julian Jackson.. Jackson had McCallum hurt in the opening round.

Not that Joe frazier is a heavyweight great,but he's usually regarded very highly.frazier has a weak chin and never demonstrated an ability to take a punch from a real puncher,Tua would knock him out very early.



Joe Louis is an all time great due to the weak era of which he fought.Unlike the average Joe Louis opponent,Tua does fight with a pulse,and is dangerous at any point in a fight,he would definately crack the weak chin of Louis.


floyd Patterson is regarded as having a glass jaw,but he was a terrific boxer aswell as a fighter with great speed and power.Tua has the power to knock Patterson out,but Patterson has more than enough to put Tua into his shell and pick up a wide decision.






That's because you don't know any better.

You are outrageously ******.

who can he beat , who he can't?

He loses to each and every one of them. Tua has had such a disappointing career. he can't even win an Alphabet title, that's how overrated he has been.
