You dksab. With this **** about tua being "fast for a man of his size" it don't matter how fast he is for a fat sack of **** it is about how fast he is compared with other fighters. Louis is too fast and deadly accurate for tua. Any time tua tries to set up an offensive attack Louis interrupts him and no way tua goes through that for 15 rounds against the greatest hw puncher of all time. (Not talking only about power here)
And Tua might have deserved the nod against Ibeabuchi who knocked the everloving **** out of Byrd. Tua was nothing special, but you're selling him way too short.
For sure. Lewis was brilliant that night, too. The point is, I think power can be a deterrent to a pressure fighter/slugger and Louis had enough to dent the best of chins. Look at the overhand right he landed on Max Baer that finished their fight; that is ridiculous power by any measure. I agree with you in that Tua is a real danger to Louis, but another factor to consider is Louis's accuracy. I don't think he'd have any trouble finding Tua, and I think he could hurt him (even allowing for Tua's chin). I honestly rate Louis that highly.
Fair... waiting for the coherent explanation(not based on greatness ) of the rest who voted for louis ...
