    This is about as one sided a fight as possible. Brock is a very likeable man. But his power and speed and skills were average. He has nothing to keep Tua off him. Tua stops him and fast.

    Tua ko 4.

    Brock should not be getting routed in this poll IMO. I'm not saying Brock would destroy Tua but me and 1 other person shouldn't be the only ones picking him to win.

    People in another thread have shown they appreciate McCline. Well Brock beat McCline in his prime. He won a round off Wlad Klitschko in his prime, he almost Eddie Chambers. This feels like a Tony Tucker case where people hating on the padded win columm even if the little there is very very good.

    Tua got stymied, or at least given issues, by worse boxers.

    I gave Brock 2 of the first 4 rounds against Wlad lol. When Wlad started to let his hands after Steward encouraged him it was over for Calvin though.

    Probably Tua. I don’t think Brock had the chin to take Tua’s best shots and nor did he have the kind of power to Keep David off of him.

    On a side note, Brock was actually a fairly decent fighter.
