David tuas power is overrated

[catskills23]

People talk about david tua as being one of the hardest hitters in heavyweight history . But this is a guy who couldnt put a blown up middleweight in chris byrd on the canvas. tua hit very hard but he was never one of the hardest punchers in heavyweight history . he never knocked out an opponent with a good chin . He was only able to put the weak chinned rahman on the canvas once in 2 fights and it was after the bell.

he couldnt HIT cris byrd..when DAVID TUA lands punches he knocks you out..he couldnt HIT lennox lewis either

[Crazy Dude]

How many KOs do you think he needs to be considered powerful? 100%?

you're ******ed. watch some of his fights before you talk about something you know nothing about.........

THats just nonsence, catskills.
I watched the Byrd fight last night. And he just didn't land enough to ko him. Not to mention Byrd has a brilliant chin. He's a blown up Cruiserweight, not Middle weight like Toney. Toney btw took flush shots from Peter. Chin doesnt count on weightclass./

Actually just before he turned pro he was a middle weight

Catskills, you're a moron.
I bet you didn't even see that fight.
You just feel like posting.
Go climb a tree or something, kid.

he's the only one to knock out Ruiz... ur logic is ******

[catskills23]

I am not disputed that tua is a very haed puncher but this talk about him being one if the hardest hitters in heavyweight history is a joke . He has never knocked any guy with a good chin and john ruiz does not have a good chin he was put on the canvas twice by andrew golata who is not a big puncher .Some people even felt he hit harder than tyson or lewis . I just think his power is a bit overrated he never had the power of tyson or lewis . Those 2 guys were the hardest punchers of their era outside of foreman.
