Ummmm no lol Oscar had the chin to bang w Tua and was more of a complete fighter. Had much better fights against higher competition. He also did amazingly well against those coming forward. Give Tua the power edge but that’s it.
Oscar was kod by Ali with what? Left hooks! Oscar was knocked down by Ellis and Folley you are overating his chin. Tua has the power edge, the size edge, and the chin edge,what more would he need?
The ONLY man to stop Oscar was Ali by tko. Ali being arguably the greatest I can’t knock him for that. He was knocked down a few times but big deal he had one of the best chins in HW history. He’s also the only man to knock down a prime Frazier and twice. The other being Foreman and Frazier was arguably out of prime by then. Oscar was taller then Tua but he gave up about 0-10 pounds in prime to Tua not exactly a lot.
That being said I wouldn’t bet on either Oscar or Tua to win very similar career arcs except Oscar performed better against better fighters imo
Mediocre contender ? If he was so mediocre how come he ko'ed 4- FOUR- F O U R future or ex World Champions ? Your boy Golata unrattled every time somebody landed on him.....never ever had a meaningful win, period, what does that make him then if Tua is "overrated and mediocre" ? Also, Frazier went down from grazing shots not even flush ones from a green Foreman but now he simply walks thru Tua's hooks who put to sleep the above mentioned ?
37-0 isn’t green. That would be saying that Tua was green when he fought Lewis and Byrd or Lewis was green when he fought Holyfield, which clearly isn’t true.
