    Does he continue his great run of form against all time greats, or does Ali beat this great left hooker who hits harder than Frazier and has a better chin?

    I wouldn’t bet a second hand spit bucket on him beating any top heavyweight.

    Based on fact that Byrd completely schooled prime and fit Tua, I don't see how Tua can beat Ali earlier than his 1978 version.

    Does Ali even remotely resemble the fighters Tua has been matched with here? ie Frazier ,Quarry?:think
    Two more questions.

    1. Did Frazier hit harder than Tua?
    2.Did Frazier have a better chin than Tua?
    If the answer is yes show me how?
    If the answer is no ,WTF are you on about!

    He beats the guy who faced Cooper and Banks and Jones... and the guy who faced Spinks and Holmes... but not the one who beat Berbick (on my official card).

    Joke. Tua has ZERO chance. Tua was a fighter of very limited technical ability. Ali would toy with him.

    I'd give the chin advantage to Frazier. And Frazier hit just as hard if not harder than Tua imo.
