    Saw him train and fight in the flesh. Never saw a harder hitter.

    "against certain styles."

    Yes. I don't see him at any point in history being favored over the slicksters.

    If he had the openings that Galento had versus Louis, Tua would have closed the show. I love Joe Louis, but this is irrefutable. Tua really only needed a single punch to get an opponent on his way.

    You make a really good point fighters of Tua's style never last that long whether it is a mental thing or physical.
