    Tua is no Sonny Liston. And Moerer and Ruiz are no Patterson. Huge class differences here. Huge. What the next comparison? Haye and Ali? :lol:

    It's all a ,atter of styles ... of course Patterson was a far better fighter but this is a terrible match up for him .. Tua in a round or so ...

    Uncle Floyd,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,would be stiffer than 'Mr Freeze'

    This ain't no Tommy Jackson, or Roy Harris.

    C'mon, Mel Turnbow knocked out Floyd in 45-seconds, in an October 1965
    sparring session.

    Exactly, Jackson and Harris actually put punches together and tried to win.

    Gooseman,,,,,,

    Did you ever see Tommy Jackson or Roy Harris fight,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Tommy was a stiff-legged, walk-in, no style, light-punching, no defense
    fighter.

    Roy was the Heavyweight Champion of Texas.

    The Point,,,,,,,is on Top of your Head.

    What tells you that Floyd's chin could hold up........

    Pete Rademacher,,,,,,,'friggin' Mel Turnbow,,,a young Jerry Quarry,,,,,,INGO,,,,,,,,
    Sonny Liston,,,,,,even a weak-hitting Muhammad Ali dropped him.

    What tells us that Lennox Lewis' chin could hold up? Or Byrd? Or career fattest Rahman? Or the great Jeff Wooden?

    OK,,,,,you convinced me,,,,,,,,,,,I will be placing all my money on Floyd.

    But all kidding aside,,,,,Floyd a great guy for his community, New Paltz, NY.

    Put alot of effort in helping kids, and did it without the fanfare or cameras around.
    It was from the heart.

    I'll be placing all my money on Chuvalo..I hear he can't be hurt and KOed the durable Quarry with a left hook. Also on Oscar..he almost stopped the sturdier Frazier and took his best shots. Cooper even has a good chance of destroying Patterson..I mean Liston and Ingo knocked him out!

    The question is not simply Floyd's chin .. we know if Tua gets to him it;s over ... it's what does the tiny Floyd do to hold Tua off .. to compare him to huge, extremely strong heavyweights with strong jabs and long reaches like Lewis or Rachman is way off .. Floyd fought like Tyson without the power, strength or chin .. in this match up he'd go out like Michael Moorer ...it's all styles ... Floyd did not box from the outside .. he pressed forward, in and out ... a disaster for him v.s. Tua ..
