I agree with the choices i've highlighted. Assuming the opponents are prime, Charles IMO would give Tua a beating, as would Tyson and Louis. Frazier had a similar style to Tua, and a better left hook, (sorry man) and a better heart. Liston is a tough one, but i'd say a Liston decision is most likely.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.Comment

If you don't think Charles is an ATG, maybe you should do a little more research.I disagree with Frazier, Liston, Louis and Tyson. Patterson, Dempsey, Charles were too small and Dempsey never weighed near 200 lbs, Patterson might have done but he was only a few lb's over 200 and Charles was a better middleweight than a heavy. Charles, Johnasson and Schemling aren't ATG's in my book anyway.Comment

Tyson pre Buster Douglas and with Rooney and Cus in his corner eats Tua for before he eats his breakfast....Tyson pre jail Don King eats Tua for lunch...Tyson before Holyfield ear biting incident Eats Tua for dinner....Tyson now just eats Jesus you see the guy he is like 300lbs....Leftyfrazier-tua would be like two big trucks crashing head on. tua is the bigger , more powerful , more durable truck.
liston's LONG ASS JAB would probably whoop tua all night long but who knows if sonny is given an incentive to not win......
louis was a much , much better skilled fighter than tua but he is outweighed by a bit and joe's chin wasn't the greatest in the world. a 170 lb. billy conn rocked his world.
tyson could be in trouble if a tua-tyson fight gets to the mid-late rounds.
patterson had the worst chin ever for a heavyweight champion. wladimir klitschko makes fun of his chin.
you're right about the rest. charles and dempsey in their primes was around 180.Comment
