David Tua (1996) Vs Pinklon Thomas (1985)?

I agree 100%. Tua certainly had the power to stop Thomas but Thomas at his best wouldn't let him get close enough. That jab would carry the fight.

 

Thomas would win easily. His heavy jab, granite chin, good fundamentals, and good ring IQ would befuddle the much shorter and 1-dimensional Tua who would run out of ideas after realizing he can't simply go for an early KO and can't just bulldoze and outwork Thomas.

 

nobody's beating Tua with just a jab. Thomas was the most overrated heavyweight of the decade. If Weaver didnt have such a weak chin, and with just a bit more effort, he'd have regained the title and beat that farce of a champion, just like Trevor Berbick Did.

Tua's chances are MUCH better than Pinklon's as chances are slim, very slim that Pinklon survives Tua's attack for 15. I dont even believe he gets thru 12
