          I think this would've been almost a carbon copy of Lewis-Tua.

            so thats hardly relevant.
            Wrong!

            Tua was born in 1972, so he was age 19 when he was KOed by Felix Savon in 1991.

            Ruslan Chagaev, born on Oct 19, 1978, was the same age to a month when he defeated Savon in the finals of the 1997 world amateurs.

            Savon went on to win Gold at the 2000 Olympics three years later.

              but prime tua when he fought lewis fought like a ***** is what im saying. so he's older now and he's skills are very limited. ala jeff lacy. he gets his socks boxed off by wlad all day. first and foremost he has to deal with shane cameron

                Tua could ONLY fight if a guy stood in front of him. That is fact.
                love the points you make bro. one of the few cats on here who actually know boxing

                    ok, I was wrong.

                    but Tua was still a teenager, and was probably only 18 since he was born in November, unless that matchup happened in December of 91.

                    so I still dont really think its fair to count that KO against him. Im sure Wladimir was beaten by guys in the amateurs too, probably guys worse than Selix Savon.
