David Tua vs Joe Frazier

I think Tua would have an edge.

Yet you cannot take a pre-prime Frazier in their FIRST fight as indicative of the match up. In fact, Tua usually did poorly against the very best competition & you could do the same thing but much more so with him. Especially the later, looking for one big left hook version.

Yet the prime juggernaut likely had too much power & endurance. Could Frazier be busy enough to outpoint him like Ike? That seems a bit unlikely.

Though Frazier was much greater overall, the heart & will are superior.
He just is not the physical specimen of a Tua or Tyson.

 

Tua is overrated and his is power is slightly exaggerated

Frazier would **** him up.

Please show me a top ten list of Tuas best wins?

We're pitting a proven great fighter, vs an unproven mythical monster that never actually achieved anything.

If Frazier ko'd Maskaev, Moorer and Ruiz, im sure Frazier would become an unstoppable mythical beast too.

 

Tua,the most overrated fighter on these boards.

 

His highlight reel kos over the best of the 90s taxi drivers and toilet cleaners looks impressive.

But when you actually dig deeper on his resume, you realise, he wasnt all that.

He was like the Wilder of the 90's, but unlike Tua who actually stepped up (and lost), Wilder hasnt done that yet.

 

Frazier would thrash that bum.

 

Frazier all day everyday.

 

It's a toss up between Tua and.Corrie Sanders...

 

I still can't believe some folks actually picked Tua to beat Lewis:-(, it was comical watching Tua actually jumping up to try and hit Lewis..

Back to the subject at hand i like Frazier on points..

 

What has David Tua done to be so highly rated on this web site? Talk about over rated!
FOTC Frazier of 1971 tears his head off and shits down his neck!!!

 

Joe Frazier's fast hands, upper body movement and vastly superior work rate earns him a decision. Tua might put him on the canvas once or twice, but David got lazy, was much slower and not always in the best of shape either. Hasim Rahman basically schooled him twice.

 

Dont forget the part where Tua rushed into one of the ringposts in the last seconds of the fight.

People picking Tua to Ko Frazier are doing it for 2 reasons

a) because Foreman Ko'd Frazier
b) because Tua Ko'd Izon, Maskaev, Oquendo, Moorer and Ruiz and a whole load of cab drivers.

Well firstly, Tua is no Foreman and secondly Frazier is no Moorer, Ruiz or Oquendo and definitley not a cab driver.

 

Frazier gets destroyed.

 

Your on my ignore list

And even before checking your comment, i knew you would say something like that.

I wonder why......
