    How did he accomplish more than Tua?

    Tua beat Rahman, Ruiz, Moorer and Maskaev. Moorer alone is considered comeback Foreman's biggest win. Rahman was good enough to beat Lewis. Nuff said.

    Because he was one of the hardest punchers in history and Galento was a no defence bum. That equals brutal KO.

    Who did Galento fight that was a harder puncher than Tua? Please don't say Max fcuking Baer here.

    The disparity should be painfully obvious to even the most casual observer.

    I love the way his foot flies up in the air when he throws the uppercut. Some real old school skills right there.

    I think I proved my point just fine.

    Because there wasn't anyone with Tua's attributes back then. The thought of a monster like Tua existing back in the 1930s would have chilled the blood of every man, woman and child.


    Neither man punched harder than Tua, though Louis was a far more precise operator. Baer was a caveman who'd make the likes of Marco Huck look skilled today.

    So you're saying that Tua wouldn't have the skills to land on Galento? That's laughable.

    I said attributes, as in physical attributes. Can't you read?


    Better is a subjective term and not really pertinent to the discussion. Galento won't be hard to hit and when Tua lands on him he's going down and staying down.

    Again, I don’t think you have established this.

    This is not Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis that we are talking about.

    It is somebody from the same era who left a lot more unanswered questions.

    Tua punched people into comas. There isn't much more that needs to be established.

    It is not his power that I am questioning.
