David Tua vs. Joe Louis , who wins and how ? ,public poll added.

Given that the Louis opponent who had most in common with Tua, i.e. Galento, had him down (briefly), you can't count Tua out. However, outside of that knockdown and a surprise hit early in the 1st (they didn't have film of the opponent back then), Louis utterly dominated.

And vice versa - of Tua's opponents, Ibeaubuchi is probably most like Louis, and he ran him really close. I scored that one for Tua though.


I think a lot depends on how Louis fights. He was aggressive and really went out for the kill against Galento. I'm not sure if that will pay off when fighting Tua - but he has the tools, so i'll go with Louis by competitive UD.

 

I would not normally respond to your posts ,because ,to tell the truth ,I think you are-----,well never mind.
To say Marciano was not a one punch hitter is----
Check out his Walcott fights,and while you are at it the Rex Layne fight.
You don't think Max Baer had real power?
Why am I even doing this?
You waste my time.:verysad.

 

My first thought was Tua's speed of hand and foot would land on Louis and he'd take him out, perhaps early, that Louis couldnt hurt Tua. Louis is a faster more compact puncher. He can slip/feint and counter, this could be the difference between them. Louis short sharp punches landing first as he makes Tua miss and counters him. Those short sharp on the button combinations can hurt and maybe they'll take Tua out over the course of a fight, Tua has a great chin but no one like Louis has layed a sustained beating on him, Lennox settled to outbox him.

Tua can KO Louis, he is the hardest most explosive puncher Louis has ever faced and a brutal finnisher. But I'm going with Louis, maybe he has to get off the canvas to win

 

He's just a troll ([ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll[/ame]) who consciously posts controversial things to get attention. Mommy probably didn't give him enough hugs so now he needs to compensate and scream for attention in a really pathetic way.

 

More like "us and the one troll with multiple usernames/personas."

 

^^^^^^^^:rofl :good

 

You mean other than the fighters who have actually beaten him?

Not even the guys who BEAT him??

No, he's not.

Yes.

Based on what??

No, he doesn't.

Then I hope you're not a bookmaker by trade.

No, he doesn't.

No, he was gassed after a few rounds with some guy named Sexton.

Not proven.

"Not too much" is not enough.

What style?

Louis has flattened bigger men than him.

No, it isn't. Louis has fought big men who could punch like Tua and never been KO'd quick.

You should know if you're going to assess him.

Then shouldn't Louis get heaps of credit for blasting out bigger men??

Didn't you just say SIZE MATTERS????? atsch

Just you apparently.

 

Exactly what I thought of when I read it.

 

As a follower of British boxing for posters if other nationalities that do not follow the domestic scene (and rightly so, it's dire) can I say that Audley hits about as hard as Kevin Johnson. Rogan was staggered early and for the most part outboxed by Sam Sexton, a fairly fast handed but weak chinned big guy who ha previously been stopped by a guy called Derek Chisora, one if the worst excuses for a heavy I've seen pass for a 'domestic contender'. Rogan is all heart and guts but would get stopped in less than a round against Louis, Sexton is a non puncher who had him on ***** street early. Frankenwank, even though you dont bother in actually watching fights and insist boxrec us enough for you, for stoppages on similar sized opponents (compared to themselves) watch Audleys stoppage of Coleman Barrett last week on prizefighter and Louis' rematch with Schmeling. Schmeling was a hundre times the boxer Barrett will ever be. Now tell me who hits harder, Audley or Louis? How old are you, seven?

 

This is a fight I think ends somewhere like the Arturo Gody and Galento fights...Louis has too much of an arsenal and power combined with speed of combo, also a devastating uppercut right and hook....Tua has a punchers chance to drop Joe but this is a different type of combo puncher Joe Louis...I see a busted up and swolen Tua after about 8-9 rds...RSC or Tua goes down and out....Tua would not survive the Brown Bomber

 

Just when I think I know this, the levels of absurdity find newer and farther reaches. This forum is a largely a humorous diversion any longer.
