    No, and he doesn't belong in the same ring!

    Louis should be favored but his chin does not convince me against a dinamite explosive puncher like tua

    Was Louis's chin the greatest in history?

    No.

    Is he going to fold against a limited fighter, who has little more than a dynamite punch?

    Hell no!

    Louis beats him pillar to post for 12 rounds. It's brutal.

    Majority of Louis's opponents were way worse than Tua and maybe none as dangerous, with a granite chin and crunching power Louis has to box him, big weight difference as well

    10lbs is a big weight difference?

    He has a massive punchers chance, louis was on the deck with lesser punchers, also i'd favour the Tua of the Ike fights to maybe over power Louis, he's way more solid/robust, Louis really has to beat the **** out of him to get on top, Tua could turn the fight around with 1 punch

    Yes, I forgot that Tua ballooned up for Ruiz and stayed that.

    I thought it was 200-205 to -210-215. It's actually 200-205 to 225-230.

    The majority of everybody in history's opponents were worse than Tua.

    That just means that he was legitimately world class.

    As for being dangerous, that turns on who you actually beat.

    Having a dynamite punch, and a granite chin, do bot make you dangerous against an all time great!

    They don't even make you a top contender for your era!

    Louis is the better p4p fighter, but that weight combined with power, chin..Its a lot to ask of Louis, I think its a bad match up for him

    Being knocked down by puncher A, doesn't not mean that you are likely to get stopped by puncher B!

    Louis has one of the most tested chins in heavyweight history. He fought a ridiculous number of ranked contenders, and punchers for that matter, including some more proven than Tua!
