    In the wake of several Tua threads ,a recent one matching him with Joe Louis,I thought I would pit him against one of Louis' challengers ,TwoTon Tony Galento.
    Galento was a dangerous left hooker.short and tubby he managed to drop Louis before being outboxed and outclassed ,suffering a brutal beating before being stopped in the 4th round.Who wins this matchup ?

    They are both gonna be in range of each others heavy artillery and the bigger tank is gonna win.

    Tua stoppage mid rounds.

    If you are going by height & weight then i agree, but then again the british mk1 Tank from 1916 wasn't much difference in size from a modern day Challenger 2.

    The Challenger can handle most of what the Mk1 can dish out but the other way round?

    Put them both into close combat and there is only 1 winner.

    So, head to head on here. Who beats David Tua, the greatest heavyweight who ever lived?

    Tua is far away from bring a great heavyweight, but in this instance he would prevail.
    No way Galento is outpointing the Tua who fought Ike and no way is he outgunning him either.
