joe louis vs david tua

You are the most idiotic poster here behind F&D. I wouldn't be surprised if he was your alt. I showed you FACTS of actual rankings and you are completely dodging the fact then resorting to name calling...as usual.
1.Holyfield
2.Lewis
3.Tyson
4.Moorer
5.Golota
6.Mercer
7.Akinwande
8.Tua
9.Bowe
10.Witherspoon

Take out Lewis and who do you have on this list?
An ancient Holyfield. A blown out Tyson. A 35 year old Mercer. Golota...a quiter against a far past it Tyson. Moorer, a blown up light heavy who beat old men from the 80s. Akinwande a sub par heavyweight. Tua an immobile, extremely easy to outbox 1 dimensional fighter, he IS the Tony Galento of his era. Tony Galento just knew out to land against taller men. Tua was swinging for the fences against Lewis. Bowe who was on his way to two loses against Golota. Witherspoon a 39 year old...I don't think I need to say anything else about him.


Over HALF of those guys were in their 30s AND fighting what was left of the 70s and 80s heavyweights. In 1937 only Schmeling was over 30 at 32 years old.

Class dismissed.

 

I don't think he would literally land every punch but I do think it would have relative ease finding his mark. Tua was slow and his head movement wasn't that effective against Lewis. No way would Louis have any problems. He was faster, far more accurate, and even harder hitter than Lewis.

 

Fact Buddy Baer was not ranked during Nova's time in the top ten.

Fact the 1930's top ten heavyweights cannot compare to the 1990's
Schmeling was born in 1905, do I need to go on?

 

As usual you come up with no counterargument. Buddy Baer was ranked during Nova's time in the top 10. I have showed proof TWICE and this is now the 3rd time you deny it.

He was by RING magazine in 1941, wasn't he ?

 

You're right I'm wrong, 1941 both were ranked.

 

Yes, he'd find his mark ok.

I wouldn't take too much stock in the Lewis fight as Louis is a a loter shorter with 8" less reach.

When you say no way Louis would have any problems, landing punches or winning the fight?

Louis had murderous power but did he really hit harder than Lewis? He had great power but that was certainly exemplified by his sheer accuracy and ability to finish. Once he had his man hurt he was more precise and dynamic than the big guys like Lewis, Foreman and co. They could do a helluva lot of damage with one punch tho.

 

Old threads like this one help explain why some of these people think that Primo Carnera was a better all-around fighter than Riddick Bowe. I actually got scoffed at for observing that David Tua was more skilled and explosive than Tony Galento.

 

Wtf was I on about in this thread? The 90s heavies would have layed a shellacking on most 30s guys.

 

Tua was explosive alright.

Louis may kill Tua

 

Louis is just the far greater fighter. It would be a no contest bout. Tua lost to the best fighters he ever faced. He is not beating the most skilled hwt ever to live. It's a bout similar in strategy as Joes bout with Galento. Louis counter punching and side stepping away from Tuas left side. Over the course of the first four-five rounds Tua is horrifically beaten with every combination 3/4/5 in number on the button. A fusillade of blows in round six ends the fight. Tua is helpless and the ref stops the fight.

 

Would you consider the Galento bout a "no contest bout" Perry?

 

Aside from the knockdown it was. Note that the only fighter ever to kd Galento was Louis at least up to this point in time. The other point we are talking Louis at his very best. The very best Louis obliterates Tua. Tua would not be able to stop the lethal punches in bunches that would come his way. It's the multiplicity of KO blows that spell a horrific night for David. There is no chance that Tua lasts the distance.
