    In his prime, which was when he weighed in the 220's, his punch out-put was much better, thus allowing himself to setup shots better...this is the key in boxing you know, "setting up your shot", if you don't, boxers will be able to see your punch coming and set themselves for the blow, ex: not to over use Tyson, but Tyson was asked "who hit you the hardest", his response, "Holyfield", "not because he was the best one punch hitter, because he wasn't, but because he hit you over and over and over again"

    Tua has big power, but the man just got lazy after the IKE fight...he is also very short so it is harder for him to hit a guy on the chin without jumping up in the air, which decreases your power

He was only able to put the weak chinned rahman on the canvas once in 2 fights and it was after the bell.
          Review the 12 round of their fight.

          As somone mentioned in another post, heavyweight don't train like they should so they get gassed.

          You need heart in boxing to really be great.

              It sounds exciting.

              But that could end up being a clinchfest.

                For a short guy like that in the HW division he is one of the hardest heavyweight hitters...
