    I think that Charles would probably frustrate and outpoint Tua.

    Tua would find a way to lose.

    Charles went 15 against Marciano who thew non stop bombs fo 15 ds. Tua's power would be nothing new fo Charles. Charles was a better inside fighter, boxer, higher ring IQ and didn't fold in the face of a good jab.

    Charles beats Tua up for a decision.

    Has to be Charles. I know Tua would be dangerous but really, Charles beat guys with Tuas credentials. Baksi and Elmer Ray.

    Given the way Byrd was able to outbox Tua I give Charles the edge.

    Charles on points.

    Yay! We have a convert!

    Wasn't Tua heavier than Charles?

    He folded in the face of a good left hook.

    What was Tua's best punch?




    I'd give Charles the edge but would not be surprised if Tua connected and it was lights out for Ezzard.

    Tua couldn't even get a title in his own era, no way in hell he beats a master boxer like Charles.

    Maybe because he was challenging a superheavyweight in Lennox Lewis , Charles would not hear the final bell against Lennox.

    Tua was a shw as well, how they do against Lennox Lewis doesn't matter.

    Interesting fight .. Charles could outbox him but Charles was one of those guys that liked to trade , not really safety first like Byrd and if he traded if would be over as fast as Tua Moorer ... not sure .. could be a Charles decision or Tua fast ..

    Man you are putting some Fantasy mismatches recently, Charles schools Tua by savage schooling.
