for Left Hook Tua

I voted for Tua.

If David Tua would have been better managed, he would have held at least one world heavyweight title, maybe more.

Ayala EASY. My dad saw him train and saw many off his fights.

My dad says he was a phenomenon. He said the he would have beat Hagler because Marvin wasnt skilled enpugh for Tony. Beat Hearns because Hearns was too fragile and had too much body, and that Tony would have broke his ribs in 7 or 8. Sugar Ray ala Cotto vs Margs.

He said that he could probably get Duran but he wasnt sure because Duran was a beast, but it would be a back and forth fight, and probably the main fight he would want to watch of all time. And that MAYBE Benitez would outbox him, because Wilfredo was really smooth and boxed very well. But my dad said he would have PROBABLY caught up to Wilfredo late if they were going 15 rounds.

Got to agree with you there, knocked out 4 fighters who went on to win world titles and knocked out a old micheal moorer. Back in the day the guy was a animal. Just think how good felix savon could of been he knocked tua out in a round back in the amatures.

Was it true that he really didnt train and smoked crack in between fights? if so the guy was on a different planet talent wise.

Tua, but Tua was packed into such a deep Heavyweight division with Lennox, Ike, Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe etc.

Ricardo Williams defeated Holyfield 3 times in the amatuers right? I think that speaks for itself.

The not training part was true because he admitted that he didnt love boxing as much as other people thought.

The drugs at that time I dont know. But I think in 2002 he was arrested and put back in jail for Drug paraphernalia. He got 10 years for that. The second **** case is what everyone thinks is what he went to jail for again. But that is false, It was speeding, no license, and drug paraphernalia.
