I dont think Louis could KO Tua i think his chin is a little too good to be put down for 10 by Louis but the ref or tuas corner would stop it within 5 rounds because Tua would not be landing and would be getting hit from all directions, basically getting a boxing lesson
First of all, numbnuts, I'm not basing my thinking Tua could knock out Louis by the fact that Galento knocked him down. What I'm basing that example on is that Louis wasn't a difficult target, even for a fat brawler. So please, if you can't keep up with the arguement, do not join in on it. :good
Why, yes.. I do believe Tua has a better left hook than Galento. Now show me where I implied the logic of " If Galento can knock Louis down than Tua can knock him out ". Like I said, kiddo.. if you can't keep up with the arguement, stay out of it. :good
Oh, I see... you're assuming this is what I meant, and since I told you I was implying otherwise, this in turn distracts your failed attempt of " telling me off ", right? First off.. Tua did plaster Rahman with it, just because he didn't fall, it doesn't mean his conciousness was there. And we can argue on this subject all night, but the fact is Louis wasn't untouchable. He was often caught with good shots, he was often knocked down, twice knocked out, and IMO if Tua caught him with that left hook it would be lights out.
I can't believe this thread has run to four pages! I totally ignored it when BI put it up. Listen - i'm not trying to denegrate Tua. He was a hard puncher. Joe Louis was a perfect puncher, every punch was close to perfectly executed over a very short disance. If you're talking about Louis' power, stamina, chin etc. you're actually missing the point. Louis was incredibley accurate and technically near perfect. Tua likes to move in as he throws. Need a road map? Here you go. Louis KO Tua 1. The easiest fight in the entire history of the heavyweights for Louis, and a new addition to the Bum of the Month club if the fight was taking place in Louis' era.
That's not true! I always look in and I post in many of them. I think it was only me and two other guys who posted in your Langford footage thread (thanks again).
Tua had a fantastic chin and one hell of a punch. Baring in mind that Louis' chin was pretty poor for an ATG, what makes people think he would even go for a knockout? A fighter who presses the action against Tua, is not a smart fighter. He has the edge in chin and raw power over many boxers, including Louis. I have Louis winning easily, but I think the calls for an early KO are way of the mark. I don't even think Louis would try it. He has two options. Try for an early KO against a man with a better chin and more raw power. Or box his ears off all night, with a possibly late referee stoppage. Let's be serious. Not every good fighter vs. bad fighter match-up ends in round 1-3.
