There's zero mystery here, really. Lewis got KTFO by a right hand from Rahman. Tua was a left-hooker. While he could be reached with a right hand, Lewis was too rangy for even a heavyweight of his own size to catch with a clean left hook, let alone somebody of Tua's proportions. Kind of a no-brainer..
no he didn't, watch closely. he was in pain and hesitant the rest of the fight, he also didnt want to get whacked hard again.
Because Tua's always been overrated, and a one trick pony? I don't see the Tua of the Ibeabuchi fight doing much better against a focused Lewis.
Was much easier dealing w/ Tua's physical attributes then it was Rahman's. His jab was able to connect unlike Tua's for example.
There are two enormous variables as to why Tua laid a big fat egg vs Lewis. Tua was heavy and slow and Lewis always fought cautious and timid fights against dangerous punchers like Tua. Tua by the time he got his chance vs Lewis had become heavier and slower, not a good matchup when you're up against a much taller Superheavyweight like Lewis who when faced with a puncher as dangerous as Tua, fights a super cautious and I will say outright timid fight. With a slow footed heavy fighter like Tua, Lewis really didn't have to exhert much energy to backtrack and stay out of harms way. On paper Lewis vs Tua smells like fireworks, but the reality is Lewis after his two knockout losses to McCall and Rahman, just didn't have the confidence to put his skills together against big punchers and gave us some stinkers.
Lewis saw Tua as a threat and did all he could to keep him at range whereas he took Rahman lightly and paid the price.
Because size matters. Don't let Ruiz vs Joshua fool you, I great big man will always beat a great little man 90% time.
He claimed no wrongdoings. It all went through a court case and came out in his favour. He's the one living in a mansion while Tua was sleeping in a gym a few years ago.
You're making it clear you're not gasping the A/B/C C/A/B triangle theories. You're asking a question while you're uploading the answers. Watch the fight, it showed exactly why Tua couldn't put a dent in LL. Of course LL Took Tua as much more of a threat than hasim and thats because he was just that, a real threat
