All-Time Heavyweight Greats

[Sweet Pea 50]

it would've been good.

you know what would have been NUTS?

golota-tua.

they sparred once and golota tried to bully the smaller tua but he couldn't hurt tua and tua just kept coming. andrew got frustrated and started LOWBLOWING tua in SPARRING!

they had to break it up i hear and those 2 never sparred ever again.

No ****? Thanks for the info, man.
I don't think there is a man on the planet that could bully Tua. Dude was strong as a bull.

it's what i heard.

not a coincidence andrew never fought tua.

tua also helped train holyfield for tyson. holyfield was very complimentary of david and said tua prepared him very well for tyson.

tua never got a chance at holyfield either.

floyd had great skills. liston was just a bad matchup for him......

Patterson didn't have enough size to be able to outbox a jabber like Liston for 15 rounds and he didn't have the chin and power to trade with Liston.

At lower weights he was able to brawl with his opponents and he was still able to outbox brawlers like Chuvalo and Bonavena.

No chance against Liston though, but he would've done better backing up instead of coming forward which made it easy for Sonny. It seemed like Patterson folded and brawled like Spinks against Tyson.

cus d'amato knew that from the first time he ever seen sonny.

D'Amato was 'right' to duck Liston but he made Liston out to be an even bigger threat than he was. Liston could be outboxed with the right strategy, Floyd just didn't have it.

Machen was worse than Patterson but he went the full 12 rounds with Liston.
He did have a more solid chin though.

Ali thought Patterson would've been able to beat Liston if he boxed Liston like he did against Chuvalo. I doubt it but it would've been more interesting than two one-sided first round KO's.

The David Tua of the 1930's.

[Left Hook Tua]

i hate you......

manchine is NOT finnish! he's pretending to be from finland but i know he's not!

lol

is galento the guy that got koed by louis and while he was out on his feet and being held up by his cornermen he was saying , "let me at him. louis is a bum. i'd knock out that bum!"?

[-CANE-]

David Tua 100/0 would have TKOed Rocky Marciano.

David Tua 100/0 would have KOed Floyd Patterson.

David Tua 100/0 would have KOed Max Schmelling.

David Tua 100/0 would have KOed James Braddock.

David Tua 100/0 would have KOed Ingemar Johansson.

David Tua 95/5 would have KOed Joe Frazier.

David Tua 75/25 would have KOed Ezzard Charles.

David Tua 65/35 would have KOed Jack Dempsey.

David Tua 60/40 would have KOed Sonny Liston.

David Tua 55/45 would have TKOed Mike Tyson.

David Tua 50/50 would have KOed Joe Louis.

That makes Lennox Lewis the greatest of all time then.

[El Dominicano]

Patterson the boxer who decisioned Chuvalo and Bonavena (two tough, hard hitters) could very well beat Tua.
If Patterson came forward like he did against Liston and Johansson then he would get knocked out I agree.


Frazier moving in and out against George Chuvalo

Frazier didn't care about aiming to the head or body he'd just hit you where ever he can. He broke that dude apart damn

[Left Hook Tua]

That makes Lennox Lewis the greatest of all time then.

works for me.

it took the greatest heavyweight of all time to beat david tua!!!!! lmao

[Sweet Pea 50]

That makes Lennox Lewis the greatest of all time then.

Galento called everyone a bum, it was his trademark. He had no technique but he could throw a left hook and take a punch. Galento had never been knocked down until Louis put him down in the first.

He trained for his fights by drinking beer, eating hot dogs, smoking cigarettes and also by throwing elbows and headbutts in preparation. Against Lou Nova he jumped on top of a downed Nova knees first and somehow got away with it.

Frazier didn't care about aiming to the head or body he'd just hit you where ever he can. He broke that dude apart damn

I've seen a picture of Chuvalo's damaged eye after the fight and it looked very brutal.
