David Tua v.s Joe Louis

Bump.

 

Believe we had a newer poll version of this with half the Board going insane. Dunno if it was Louis, maybe Joe Walcott.

 

Louis would be in major trouble against someone like Tua

Tua is built like a tank and has one of the hardest left hooks ever ... And has a granite chin

Louis doesn't have the chin or style to beat Tua

 

Problem with Tua is he was easily outboxed by lesser fighters than Louis. Tua had more than a few running out of time moments where his power bailed him out. Then you have opponents like Chris Byrd who schooled Tua over 12 rounds.

Pretty damn good fantasy match up this one is.

 

Corbett

 

As for this thread, I've seen Tua routinely picked to beat men like Mike Tyson, Joe Louis, George Foreman, etc. That's quite a reach considering he faced one opponent, ONE of their caliber and was dominated, rendered ineffective, and lost nearly every round (won 6 rounds out of 45 on 3 scorecards).

 

But he faced a better fighter than Lewis: Ibeabuchi.
It was like King Kong vs. Godzilla.
10,000 haymaker punches landed on each others chin, and not a scratch on them.
The greatest clash of fistic explosiveness in the annals of history.

Not a soul would last against each of them for 30 seconds on that night.
I believe it was a full moon and a solar eclipse at the same time.

Guys, be serious...This would be like a grown dad abusing his 11-year-old son. These guys aren't even in the same weight class or even separated by only one, and maybe not even in the same sport.

 

I think Louis was too hittable to survive many exchanges with David, Tua survived big hitters some greater then Joe, he was just really enduring, powerful and above all else durable. I think David COULD make short work of Joe in there first fight in a one off encounter and be dominated in return for the next bout in a very very clear UD.

 

Methinks you know better & are trolling my friend.
Louis beat some people much heavier & way taller than Tua, like Carnera who weighed between 260 & 284 obs. of muscle.
And Tua is not some super boxer, while he had great power, endurance & chin, his speed was mediocre, he did not like body shots, became a head hunter, did not come through in many big fights, hittable & not good at cutting off the ring etc.

 

I don't even know what a methinks is. Are you saying I'm a meth head? I am not. I never trolled for drugs in my life. When I say I'm juiced, I'm on OJ. I'm as straightlaced as a new shoe. Straight as an arrow and twice as upright when vertical. Tua went the distance with Lewis. lol Lewis is Louis 2.0. Same name, better spelling. Everyone is hittable. Louis got stumbled by a bartender who couldn't box at all and was in worse shape than Tua ever showed up in. Nah, some things you just can't offset, man. Carnera was huge but he was sickly and had a bad chin and he didn't hit like Tuaman. I swear, I don't know how Tua could punch like he did with those scrawny legs and if it's two things I don't know it's that and how Joseph Barrows Louis would have the strenf to win or the wheels to get out the way. He's no Chris Byrd, you know.

 

Uh- ROCKY TKO4

 

Surely you'd need a full moon to get a solar eclipse?

 

Man, it truly was a magical night.
