    Lmfao @ most idiots here saying Tua is overrated. Tua has ko 4 former world champions for good ness sake. He ko Ruiz, Rahman, Oleg who in future became world champions. Shot or not, to ko moorer in 30 seconds is pretty impressive. Tua also ko undefeated oquendo who in later on easily beat bryd (who beat tua) but was freaking robbed.

    Key word is former and future. He never beat anyone at the elite level that was prime. Tua and his left hook are overrated, and he pissed away the last 10 years of his career. I stand by that.

    Tua did what he could with what he had.made some mistakes that hes paid a price for ever since. Was one heck of a puncher and up there with some of the best to have laced them up.

    He had his moments, now let him be ya bunch of keyboarders:bbb:nono:hey

    I kind of agree with this in a way. He was harder hitting and I think had a more powerful hook than a lot of others. But aesthetically I would probably rate a couple of others higher. I am not sure I could realistically rate someone with more power though.

    Klitschko has nothing to do with Tua, and I did not even insinuate that either Klitschko has a more powerful hook. Going on the attack of my favorite fighters doesn't validate Tua or your views in any way. Run along now.
