Joe Louis (circa 1936) vs David "The Tuaman" Tua (circa 1997) - who wins and why?

The tour continue's. Louis TKO in eight. Tua against Galento would be a much more interesting bout.

 

Tua is a very dangerous opponent for any of the smaller guys ... Louis would have to be very careful and out box him for a few rounds .. then he would find his range and take him out ... no one and I mean no one takes too many shots from Louis ...

 

Sanders by KO

 

I think Marciano landed a left hook or uppercut that basically took away Louis' senses, leaving him out on his feet, dangling on the ropes with his hands down. A bit like your beaten opponent does in Mortal Kombat, because you can finish him. Then Marciano landed a huge right hand and the rest is history.

 

Jimmy Young.

 

I'm not sure if Louis has a good enough defence to win a series here. His chin certainly isn't strong enough, but is his defence good enough to protect his biggest vulnerability?

I could see Tua winning twice in less than 10 minutes each time. The other would go to Louis on points.

I don't see Louis scoring a Ko over Tua, regardless of his legendary combination powers, and advocates opinions of him having greater power than Lennox Lewis or Ike Ibeabuchi.

Tua's chin deserves the benefit of the doubt against any all time great puncher despite things like size, power, race, era, and yes even style...

 

Louis is more suited for Tua, than Byrd is. Even though Louis is absolutely miles better than Byrd, he lacks his defence and chin. Tua would have better results against the superior fighter.

 

Louis was a much better two handed puncher and much faster and more accurate than Lewis or Ike ... It's not only that Tua has a great chin which he does but that he is not easy to hit flush based on how he tucks his chin in between those huge shoulders ...

He can be knocked out ...

Tua's pretty solid wiskers make him take more punishment than he should ...Joe chops him down with a solid jab and pinpoint power combo's...Tuaman hits the deck hard at the end of the 4th an Ref stops Joe going in for the kill with Tua down once in the 5th
