I think Lyle catches him far easier than Marciano. Ron was 6'3" with a 76"-77" reach, Rocky was 5'10" with 68" reach. Lyle can fight La Starza...
Note that Tua is also fighting 195 and 200lb opponents in these bouts. Tua at his best is between 220 and 230lbs
Tua set punch output records in consecutive fights around this weight id say he was pretty well conditioned.
Both being 6'2"-6'3" probably helped a bit and the longer time between weigh in and fight time allowed them to drain a lot more and come in the...
Read my whole post regarding Williams a last minute sub Oma and Holman just werent that good Holmans wins over worn versions of Charles, Ray and...

I was sure he was, He was definitely Rings number one right through 76, Foreman became number one after Norton lost fight 3 to Ali as Ken dropped...
99 Wlad is not in the same league as the Lewis Tua fought, hell i dont even think current Wlad is
Norton was Alis mandatory in 76, George was NABF champ. A window between Alis September 76 fight with Norton and Foremans March 77 loss to Young...
What did Foreman do to earn a shot and when do you think a second fight should or could have taken place?
I rate Page and Dokes as my favourite 80s heavies. Interesting how comfortable Page looked when he switched to southpaw against Evangalista, so...
