Tua Versus Marciano

I think the seeds of madness have allways lurked just below the surface in old Ike.

 

why do people keep saying that tua hit lewis flush with his left hook?no,he didn't.
tua is bigger than marciano,stronger,punches harder,has a better chin.
marciano was great,but i can't see him surviving tua's artillery.styles make fights

 

They weren't always flush but he connected with a few decent ones...BUT NO, IF TUA HIT PERFECTLY, LEWIS WOULD SEE DEMONS AND COMMIT ****! SUCH IS THE POWER OF TUA'S LEFT.

yea that clip just confirms that tua didn't hit lewis flush.
and the name of the clip is hillarious,yes lewis did beat a lot of punchers,but noone of those punchers hit him flush except mccall and rahman :deal

 

Are you saying Rex Layne was a better fighter than Tua or defeats him straight up ? I think Tua stops Layne in about 90 seconds ...

 

I want all the people who seem to think that Tua's power is untakeable to name one really top-level chin that he managed to crack. Just one. Just one teensy weensy one. And anyone who says Ruiz has my warmest invitation to go and **** their own colon with a cucumber.

I'll even go out on a limb and say that Layne, Walcott, Louis (the old one) and Moore (the even olderer one) all hit harder, faster and more accurately than Tua ever did or still does. On account of them all smashing great chins of varying shapes, weight advantages and sizes at some point in their respective careers.

And all while having haircuts that suggested they weren't participating in illicit liaisons with the electric socket.

First one to answer gets a carrot.

 

If Satterfield couldn't stop him in 90 seconds, how is Tua going to be able too? Layne had a steel chin in his prime. Layne would give tua fits with his good left jab. I think Layne was to wide open for Tua and would eventually get knocked out latter in the fight, but it will take tua a bit of time. Hasim Rahman, who did not have a good chin, took David Tua several rounds. Same with Maskaev(not a good chin).

I am saying Layne clearly beat better competition than David Tua. This is not up for debate.

You underrate Layne big time. Because Marciano knocked him out, you think every other puncher would do the same. Perhaps rather than degrade layne, you should give Marciano credit for a big win over a young top rated opponent who was favored to be the next heavyweight champion of the world. Not everyone can have that easy of a time with Layne.

Then again, you are infatuated with David Tua. You actually thinks he beats Joe Frazier! LOL

 

Satterfield hit hard for a 176lber but he doesnt hit like Tua. Baker was the only decent heavy he blasted out and he wasnt any better than the Moorer Tua sparked. Williams was a last minute so I dont place much into that result.

Layne may have beat better fighters but I would question whether he beat a better puncher than Tua

 

Satterfield hit hard for a heavyweight period.

Take my word for it.

 

That is a good video.

Mavrovich certainly looked impressive for a few moments, Mason also. It is easy to forget (because of his two KOs) that Lewis can still take most bombs.

 

Tua's raw physicality overwhelms The Rock...Tuaman by Manslaughter.

 

Ok, but...HOW?

 

Do you place him in the same echelon as Foreman, Shavers, Tyson, Lewis, Tua?

I certainly do not

 

Your statement really needs no response. It speaks for itself.

 

Bob Satterfield ? Light heavyweight Bob Satterfield is your response ? Again, let your words speak for themselves.

Layne was a decent, plodder for his day. Absolutely no more . His speed was below challenger quality. He had a fairly decent , clubbing sort of right. Fairly well conditioned putting aside the pudgy body. Good heart ... that's that. Very hittable ... you really could not design a more perfect Tua KO victim. Sorry, I know he's your example of Rocky's victory over a young top contender but it's almost as big a reach as your endless pitch of the 37 year old Louis still being a serious test .. pure romanticising ...
