      B-.

      Must be one of the best heavyweights never to win a world title 'Impressive the way he obliterated multiple former Champions'.

          David Tua knocked out four heavyweight champions
          John Ruiz (2X WBA Heavyweight Champion)
          Oleg Maskaev (WBC Heavyweight Champion)
          Hasim Rahman (WBC/IBF/IBO/Lineal Heavyweight Champion, later WBC Heavyweight Champion again)
          Michael Moorer (WBO Heavyweight Champion, then WBA/IBF/Lineal Heavyweight Champion, then IBF Heavyweight Champion again)

          Overall record against heavyweight champions was 4-2-1. The losses were to Lennox Lewis and Chris Byrd, the draw to Hasim Rahman.

          This dude was a B+ fighter. Much, much better than Frank Bruno. Tua would've stopped Bruno easily.

          David Tua is the best heavyweight to never win the title, at least in the modern era.

            David Tua 4-2-1 against heavyweight champions with 4 KOs.

            Frank Bruno 1-5-0 against heavyweight champions with 5 KO losses.

            Tua would've stopped Frank. Frank had ONE good win in his career against a McCall who was spiraling.

                  Which brings up a good point.

                  I should start listing everyones names and their grades for all of the fighters they have voted for.

                    I possibly could of upgraded him to B +, but? He lost fights that he should not of lost.

                    I see people mentioning Frank Bruno, it was only really Mike Tyson who had a easy time with Bruno in their rematch.

                    In all of his world title fights, he gave the champions are extremely difficult time.

                    Frank Bruno fought better against Lennox Lewis in comparison to David Tua.
