Joe Frazier in place of Tua ?

Unlike marciano,Frazier had similar frame to tua and they both fought in the amateurs in the 201 pounds limit at similar age.frazier in the 90s probably would have added 10-15 pounds of muscle ,he had the natural stamina to carry it well.frazier would clean the house. Frazier beats byrd,ike and he would get inside of lewis making pressure all the fight and finally would break him down.

 

They both got fat if thats what you mean.

 

No. What i mean is the their skeletons was bigger/wider than rocky's

 

If that were true Tua would have NOT looked so chubby at 201Lb in his first pro fight.

Ike would be tough tho Frazier should definitely be favored. Frazier imo would get pumped by the Lewis Tua fought. The rest he'd go very well with i think.

 

Which is impossible to substaintiate, without access to all three men's skeletons.

Wrist and Height ratio is loosely used to measure frame in the real world, but its hard to verify boxers promotional stats. All three men do fall into same denser than average range.

I dont dispute Tua had a visibly denser frame but given his nutritional intake to gain some 50 pounds since turning pro, that is going to happen. The male skeleton is not mature into the mid 30s. So moot point.

 

Ike would give Frazier hell . Ike unlike Quarry wouldn't tire because of
the hectic pace and be susceptible to cuts. Ike also had a better chin
and was heavier. Frazier wins on pts but this fight could take a toll
on Frazier. Ike complained of severe headaches after the fight
and Tua chin was better than Frazier.

 

I agree. When will all this crap about skeletons go away? Does anybody believe that Years from now the National History museums will put the skeleton of the elephant man away in storage because the bones of David Tua would have eclipsed them with their fascinating abnormality?

Tua was a physically enhanced fighter and the times he fought in were directly responsible for this. Simple as that.

 

It is nothing impossible, to know who has bigger frame is an easy thing to know.so stop talking fantasies

 

I would not listen the opinion of choklab because this poor guy says that marciano had the frame of tua

 

No he did not have the same frame as Tua, How could he? Tua had the elephant man bones. Child baring hips. Ribs of a dinosaur. He wore a belt intended to hold up trousers as his watch strap. The history museum has reserved a spot.

 

Marciano's wrist was 7.5" his fist 11'.5"
Tua's Wrist 8.5" his fist13'.5"

What physical enhancement would make your wrists and hands bigger?

 

Tua was a bit bigger. It’s like the difference between Berbick and Ali or Tucker and Truth Williams. Negligible.

Don’t put too much into that tape measure baloney. People measure thicker when they are fatter.
