    Me too. :D

    Seriously, Danell tried to be a poor man's Ali. He lacked the talent but did his damnest to resemble him in the ring.

    good point . Sometimes Clay/Ali might have escaped unharmed but Cooper , Frazier , Jones and Chuvalo proved that he could be caught and hit . D thing is that prime Tua (b4 Ibeabuchi , maybe even b4 Izon) was quicker than what most remember and caught ppl more often . Not saying it happens every time but it could happen some of d times and lesser men actually managed it as i already mentioned .

    Danell Nicholson; Muhammad Ali, that is the second time in history, they have been in the same sentence.;)

    Lets be honest and Im a Kiwi who has always followed and supported Tua, this is a ridiculous match up. Tua struggled against boxers why would he stand any chance vs the GOAT. I voted for Ali decision but only because there wasn't the option of the ref stepping in and saying enough after prob round 7, or the crowd leaving due the massive 1 sidedness.

    No contest ! Ali wins by easy decision or late rounds technical knockout.

    Tua may puncher harder than Joe, but Frazier is a more fluent puncher with a better jab and uppercut.

    Tua also lacks the discipline needed for an opponent like Ali; not to mention he can't solve a great jab.

    Ali TKO14.
