On a scale from 1-10, where would you rank his power? 10 would be a Tua left hook or a Lewis right hand.
He's heavy handed fighter who rarely put a lot of weight behind his punches. He's extremely overrated in terms of punching power here because he looks intimidating.
8.5 to 9 on Power Did you see the Chris Byrd KO? Byrd had a good chin. A better question, how was his stamina on a 1-10? And how was chis Chin? With evolving boxing skills, an all time could have been.
Interesting question from a Lewis fan ! To me Tua wasn't top 3 hardest puncher from the boxing history.. .I don't know a classic one punch ko-by Tua left hook- against at least decent opponent. Lewis' right hand was maybe the top 3 hardest punch ever but it's not 100%. Ibeabuchi destroyed Byrd and it was brutal considering this great ko he looked an awesome puncher and for example i think he could punch harder than the overrated Wladimir Klitschko .
I did see the Byrd ko, impressive. I think he wore Byrd down I agree with 8.5 to 9. I don't think he was quite the same level as Lewis or Foreman in terms of sheer power but not far behind. His hands were quite quick, and he was gaining boxing skills. Shame. I think him and Sanders are probably the biggest what ifs of the past 25 years.
