    Would hide's speed get to Tua or would Hide's suspect chin get tagged and taken out?

    This is probably more the kind of fantasy fight that Tua should be put in.

    I don’t think it would go beyond 3 rounds possibly not past the first.
    Tua knocks him out.

    I don't hate him, I just think that his is monumentally overrated.

    Why? Because you know that he is a very dangerous h2h opponent for Louis,dempsey and marciano? I think that he stops dempsey and marciano sure, Louis had the skill to overcome this but i would not bet money

    I would give much better chance to cute boxers like tunney against tua than small brawlers like dempsey or marciano

    Having an uncrackable chin is invaluable in HW hypotheticals.

    It’s probably reality based.

    This is Tua`s level, he was just a brawler and a power puncher, a poor man`s prime Tyson, very limited skillwise and Hide`s quick feet and hands would give him the run around for quite a while before Tua`s hook ends things.

    I am not saying that he was the most skilled guy but neither was marciano for example. I think that with his iron chin, huge power,good stamina and good hand speed he would be hard h2h for a lot of great fighters
