Tua Versus Marciano

Could go either way. Tua did NOT like it to the body and could be detered that way, or by serious firepower like Lennox showed. Marciano however was impossible to deter, so if he hurts/shocks Tua (Which he almost surely would) Tua's not going to be throwing bombs back like Marciano.

 

This matchup is so laughable I'm not going to comment. I'll just say that Tua wins.

 

David "Almost as overrated as Corrie Sanders" Tua has no chance in hell to beat the Rock. Rock beats him soundly inside where Tua fights.

 

Rocky by decision...in my opinion.

 

I am not one to make confident picks in swarmer on swarmer matchups but if I have to put money down I will go with Marciano given that this is likley to turn on training ethic, intangibles , and yes..defence.

 

Tua didnt get detered by the power of Ibeabuchi, Rahman I or Maskaev. He was still firing bombs late in those fights. Rocky isnt going to be able to avoid being hit the way they and Lewis did either.

As for Tuas lack of training ethic Janitor i think you are maybe refering to Tua after Barry took over and ruined him. David was a busy and disciplined fighter until he was under Kevin Barrys novice training

Id be interested to see how Marciano stands up to 12 rounds of Tua dishing out punches in the quantities he did when he was beating the likes of Wilson, Ruiz, Izon, Rahman and his record breaking fight with Ike

The easy pick is to say Rocky wins this, he is the greater fighter no doubt, but he isnt going to fight like Byrd or Lewis nor is he a 6'3" 235lb mad man.
Maybe it is my Kiwi bias but im not convinced that madman beat David anyway

 

Maybe because Maskaev was boxing him as opposed to slugging, and Ibeabuchi and Tua were trading shots from about 6 inches apart all night.

As for Rahman, he dropped Tua on his ass right after the bell in their second fight.

 

Lewis boxed him too, are you saying coz Maskaev boxed him he wasnt hitting him hard? What difference is how far apart Ibeabuchi was? The fact remains Tua wasnt detered and didnt stop punching when he felt Ikes power as you stated he did when hit
Tua that fought Rahman the second time has no chance, i specified Rahman I as Tua was consistently in condition and busy in fights until around the Lewis fight after Lewis he still sparked Moorer and Oquendo but wasnt the same as he was in his run to a title shot

 

Rocky, although not as quick as men like Charles and Walcott, would be quicker and faster than the Tuaman. The Rock would get hurt early and taste the canvas. But unlike Ruiz and Moorer, Rocky's recuperative powers would allow him to survive. By about round seven or so Marciano starts to take over. He hurts Tua to the body. Tua's head is like a cinderblock and Rocky comments that it is the hardest thing he's ever hit in his life. Both of his hands are injured. An exhausted Tua makes it to the final bell in the 12th round. Tua does not go down although Marciano hit the canvas in the first. Both men express their admiration and respect for eachother. These are two class acts who eschew trash talking and other such nonsense leading up to the fight. Marciano is named the winner on the cards by a close but convincing UD.

Marciano by close UD.

 

No one would have survived what Ruiz got hit with from Tua. I believe because of his height and moving his trunk the way he did Marciano would be able to avoid the kind of debilitating left hook that sealed Ruiz's fate.

 

Rocky by unanimous decision.
