    Irrelevant again. Styles make fights. It does not prove the result in this fantasy match

    It is a total bull****. Like always coming from you. The average weight of the rivals of Tua was much higher than the rivals of Louis. Rahman was a super hw and he was not bad because he knocked Lewis out and was once hw champion of the world. Besides rahman Tua fought a lot of huge guys.

    Now you will change the topic " they were not good" blahblah

    We don't talk about average weight, who did he really beat that was big and good? Rahman should have won that fight, we all know that.

    What shouda coulda? In his prime, he was 38-3 or arguably 38-2-1 with one H2H HW ATG and durable slickster Chris Byrd.

    WHO of the bum of the month club is going to deliver? WHO is replicating this:

    The problem is, that there doesn't seen to be any sort of style that Tua can prevail against, when he is fighting at the very highest level!

    He lost to somebody who later fought at light heavyweight.

    He lost to people who didn't have exceptional chins.

    He lost to people who were not particularly elusive.

    Anybody that you come up against in a title fight or title eliminator is going to have something going for them!

    He lost every time he fought for a title, or fought a title eliminator, and his only win over a top ten guy was a very dubious win over Hasim Rahman, that should arguably have been a DQ.

    That unfortunately makes him an objectively unsuccessful contender.
    Against that sort of opposition, a few of them might have been able to do it.

    Again you are talking rubbish! He lost to either a very durable fellows (Ibeabuchi), a H2H HW ATGs (Lewis) or a durable defensive slickers like Byrd. Moving and boxing safety was always a key to beat Tua.

    Describing HW ATG Lewis as

    "He lost to people who didn't have exceptional chins.

    He lost to people who were not particularly elusive."

    tops just every dishonesty possible! Its choklab niveau.

    Louis lost to a fighter who had "no exceptional chin", was "not particularly elusive" and was "no HW ATG" at the same time! In fact not even a true HW. And that excludes getting dropped by amateur level fighters too!

    Most contenders with a big punch could do that against weak enough opposition.
