    Prime Tua is a nightmare matchup for historical small heavyweights (who are Light Heavies & Cruisers today) without good footwork.

    Fair enough, though power wasn't that overrated. He had a fearsome left hook. Has some good wins, some great knock outs. Did a lot which many elite HW's couldn't : knock John Ruiz out in 20 seconds and make Oquendo look like Muhammad Ali.

    "Overrated"??

    The fact that he beat 4 champs yet never held a belt makes him a sad bit underrated, in my view.

    He's one of those weird cases where he would most likely beat some Chinny ATG's like a Norton, but get outboxed by a fairly average but durable fighter. I think most people are aware of this.

    If this is the case, I can only assume you've heard of 4, maybe 5 HW boxers, your entire life...

    I actually agree, people think just because he has a good chin and power he can beat ATGs.

    OMG...you mean a few people think that?? And??? Some Tua fans thinking that means he's the most overrated EVER??? You are clearly a fan of hyperbole.

    What you've said about fans claiming Tua's greatness goes with every top boxer at one point. You think people here haven't said AJ, Wilder, or Fury would beat a bunch of ATGs? :lol:
