    Conn would leave that guy thinking that he was shadowboxing. Tua moved slow and thought slow.

    I do not know if he was slow witted, although Ali famously got a very low score on an IQ test & embarrassed said "I said I ws the greatest, not the smartest". But he obviously was smart in many intuitive & boxing ways.
    Tua did not have slow hands.
    He also was not a slug when he was helping break a record for most punches in a HW fight, & among the top in another bout.
    Yet sure Conn was faster.
    Louis did not have fast feet, & caught up with him despite being foolishly dehydrated.

    Perhaps Conn is the minimal weight someone can be & bear up under whatever Tua manages to land.
    You would cite peak Jones too, although rehydrated he was bigger.

    I don't think Conn was clearly better than Gibbons.
