    What the fukk are you talking about???

    WHERE did Louis slick and stick like Byrd? For starters, he did not (need to) in the Baer fight!

    "Nobody beat prime Louis trying to slug with him and he fought many punchers, some of them bigger than Tua."

    Again, what nonsense are you talking about? What fighter Louis slugged it out with got Tua chin, power and size ???

    Nobody can slug it out with a guy who gets dropped by stiff-board Baer and hotdog-munching Galento? :lol:

    Louis is smaller than Usyk in every department, now if Usyk didn't have his legs he would be ****ed at Heavy with the current size just like Louis, but them legs is the difference, he could box Tua giving him angles, pivoting spinning him, Louis hasn't got the style to be successful

    So they have to be both as hard hitting and as big as Tua? Max Baer and Buddy Baer. If you want me to include some smaller fighters who could hit extremely hard, I can name more.
    Like who? Lewis, sure he has a case but it's far from given that he's better than Louis. Ike? No way. Byrd? No way. Rahman? No way.
    Oh, BTW he lost to all of them.

    byrd had the same similarities (stylistically)with Louis than a sharpener with an orange. And even byrd was heavier than Louis(215) and was much more mobile not static like hell, Louis would be much easier target for Tua

    Louis is actually a small cruiser by todays standards, if he came in at 207 then he would've easily made the cruiser limit today, most cruisers would outweigh him fight night by quite a margin

    I already said - Baer brothers. You disagree, but it doesn't make it untrue.

    In the other post you acknowledged Baer would get KOd by Lewis....
    Inconsistent.

    And that excludes the stiff-board Baer brother fighting anybody!

    Tua didn't fight against Usyk as far as I know, why do you bring him here. Tua also didn't fight against 2010s heavyweights.

    He would because he would fight more agressively. Tua would also be knocked out if he actually tried to fight.
