      all foreman had was power.

      one could argue tua was better technically than young foreman in fact. young foreman didn't throw punches properly. he winged a lot of his punches.

      that's what made foreman so special. he didn't throw punches properly and still was so powerful.

            if anyone ius unfamiliar with Friday let me say he is good defensively,can take a punch,& can frustrate & make anyone look bad.he's been knockedout once by either whitaker or liahkovich(can't remember).I'm familiar & watched many Friday fights.he's a good experienced,tough pro.along the lines of zuri Lawrence or Jason estrada,Robert Hawkins,etc.on any given night he could pull an upset on anyone who takes him lightly.I'm shocked people predict ko.tua is 37 not 27....there lies the issue.

              Ike Ibeabuchi

              And the ONLY time he fought for a WBC or any other official belt was against Lennox and lost VERY convincingly.

              He held the International WBC belt but that aint nothing compared to the real mc'oy WBC baby

                what a louzy card. each fight more pathetic than the previous.
                tourchered myself watching pixy maori tv stream from 1am to 4am pst.
                what is wrong with me?

                ...the fckg clowns in the hvwt division circus...and no light at the end of the tunnell! sheesh

                ike ibeabuchi gets out this year 2010. peeps in pacquiaoas camp are setting him up.
                i think he's 36-38yo. ha ha ! lets dream.
                keep your eye open for when and if this happens. all this was explained about a year ago. i think at BT by gleon.
                don't think it was you. i recall it being a boxingscribe that had an in with pacs team. i believe your buddy arum
                was involved.
                maybe you can dig up an update.

                there are still kids out their that are only into the hvwts...and sht fights like hop/jones.
                their the ones with money. its driving them over to the octogan. and even i am getting into that ass kicking stuff.
                but wonder why theres no crossovers from them bad ass cage guys.
                because you realy have to have more skills in the sweet science.

                  He's knocked out Michael Moorer and John Ruiz. One used to be the champ and the other is one is apparently good enough for Haye for another title shot.

                    dude , you're a fucking moron.

                    hasim rahman was the only good boxer he beat?

                    that one was actually one of his most controversial wins.

                    fres oquendo , david izon , john ruiz , micheal moorer , oleg maskaev , danell nicholson , obed sullivan , darroll wilson.

                    all were good boxers who were top contenders , former champions or top prospects.

                    if you don't know who those guys were , it's because your dumbass wasn't following the heavyweight division back then.

                    david tua was a top 10 heavyweight for a decade.

                    you don't do that based on hype. you might get in the top 10 for a year or two based on hype but not for over a decade.


                    ****** mofo's talking about stuff they don't know about.

                      No way. Along with power, Foreman had a powerful and accurate jab, he was a master at cutting off the ring. AND he could take you out with either hand. Tua relies heavily on his left hook and his jab is almost non existent.. There is just no comparison between the two at all. This is young Foreman vs Chuvalo and Foreman vs Norton Watch his jab and how he cuts off the ring
