    This, Braddock wasnt a half bad Metador by any means, but I can't see him evading Tua for the distance.

    Lets not forget how explosive Tua could be, I'd say he's the faster man here

    They weigh roughly the same with Tua being of the short stocky Galento variety, but look at Baer's broad shoulders and chest..the man had the frame of someone 6'8", he pushed Galento around like he was a child. Sorry, Baer is the bigger man and probably stronger.

    Baer is more rangy, hes a strong man, Tua is the more explosive bigger puncher, his power was just sick, significantly better than .

    All thats academic though because they are very different fighters, 1 a big slow straight up fighter, another an explosive stalking peek a boo type. Very different styles to deal with

    I like Braddock his boxing and canny skills are a little underrated, as are Tua's skills imo though
