Joe Louis vs David Tua

He was stopped only twice in very long career, once when he was very young. The other time in last fight against Louis.

 

Its getting way inconsistent here....

 

What the f*ck is inconsistent here? Do you know that Tua also got stopped once? In far fewer fights than all of guys I mentioned.

 

Based on you, if the time machine (or any other kind of that simulator) was created for real, not going to bet any penny on anyone of these guys lasting the distance against Ibeabuchi+Lewis+Rahman.

Nobody here´s buying these claims of yours. Sry.

 

If he didn't actually fight him many in here would be telling us what an absolute nightmare he would have been for Lennox Lewis too. Imagine the flack and doubts Lewis would have copped.

 

Lewis had the reach,the height and the style to outbox Tua, not even close to Joe Louis and Tyson in style. Tua would get schooled by Ali,Holmes or even by
Holyfield because they are durable guys and had the correct style. Marciano would get smashed by Tua

 

It could get hairy but i'll take Louis.

 

I wouldn't bet anything because I don't like betting. You don't know what I think and you are ignorat if you think you know.

 

All them boys have been knocked out

 

Comparing sizes, in fact Usyk is definitely physically bigger than Louis. Tua never did, but he was fighting super heavies

 

So was Tua.

 

Louis also fought super heavies.

 

Having the best power, and the best chin in the division, would get you about to fringe contender level.

Possibly not even that far.

Even fighters like Shavers or Wilder, had either some sort of nuance to their style, or some sort of athletic attributes to go with their power.

I don't accept that his is a bad stylistic match up for Louis.

Tua lost to men who were not particularly elusive, men who were not particularly big, and men who were not particularly durable.

He basically lost whenever the man on the other side of the ring was ranked in the top ten.

You could bet your mortgage that this would be no exception.

He also tended to go into a shell mentally when somebody really fired back at him.

As for the idea that he could take Louis's power, let me assure you that no man born to woman could!

 

Tua offers stylistic issues for Louis, and fights fairly similar to Galento, who obviously dropped Louis. Louis, however, got back up and banged Galento like a drum. Tua's crouch and pouncing hook could well give Louis problems, but Louis was an incredibly intelligent fighter and would know to neutralise Tua's hook. How he does it could be with movement, counters, clinching(although I doubt this would work) or any number of ways. Point is, Louis could do it.

Louis would probably adopt a Baer fight strategy and box a range, but shifting and snapping with counters when Tua gets reckless.

Marching towards Louis head first with a poor defence is asking to become a vegetable. Tua can pounce and jump all he wants but when Louis starts letting his hands flurry Tua ain't gonna want none.

Baer and Braddock had iron chins. Tua level? I doubt it, but neither were easy men to stop. Pretending this is so is ridiculous.

I still think this, but Tua could get a KD, and a devastating one at that but given his track record, I doubt it.

 

Nope
