    Tua was a far better technical boxer and had a great set of whiskers. Tua KO5.

    I go for Tua, always been a fan and his speed and power would tell here.

    one of the only fantasy fights where you will see this statement
     
  5. is really pathetic the way of the some clowns are underrating tua.. funny because tua might well ko almost every atg with a clean and single left hook.

    even foreman:think

    gotta say it's possible, but getting his ass clowned by chris byrd doesn't instill a ton of confidence
     
  7. chris byrd is nothing like galento.. the boxers were bad match for foreman too. but galento was a bunch of fat, tua was stronger,harder puncher and he had better chin. this thread is an insult for tua.
    well, my next thread will be prime tyson vs butterbean, it is close but i pick butterbean by ko.:happy

    you and hydraulix both

    both i get your point and this is all tua for me as well...but i defended tua in the past, for years as a h2h monster. but fantasy match ups are the only times he seems to go to that higher level. i'll watch the ike, moorer and ruiz fights but when he steps it up, he always lost
     
  9. well, still he would destroy a guy like galento

    Tua would stop him. His superior technique would allow him to out hook Galento and bust him up.

    Actually, David has great fundamentals, or did back when I watched him train... ****ing years ago... Tony, too, had a really good amateur pedigree but he never displayed much in the film I have seen. Relatively, I just think David has too much here. And probably is the harder puncher.

    They look about the same to me.
    It would be a good hard-hitting fight. If they both do the rare thing and come to fight in shape, someone's getting KO'd.
