    Soccer AID yesterday, a charity football game with England & Rest Of The World teams made up of both celebrities and ex-players. Harrelson absolute hammers in a world-class penalty in the shootout that no 'keeper in the world could have stopped to win it for the R.O.W side.

    Agreed.

    Sam Langford and Rocky Marciano were freak of natures, strength wise.

    Tua should have what it takes to beat Frazier with his punch and chin but I doubt he would. Frazier is an absolute overachiever whose will to win was a big part of his career. Tua had some very good wins but also fights where he was just going through the motions. Frazier would lose to Lennox as well, but he would have gone to war in the process.

    This would be a good one. I think it would depend on how Tua would react to Frazier's body punching. Frazier's body punching would take their effect within 2-3 rounds. And fighters react differently to their effect. Because nobody worked Tua consistently to the body like Frazier, I'll go with Frazier. But if Tua could land enough left hooks on Joe early he could take Joe out.
