    Tua - never been cut, knocked down or hurt in a fight.

    that granite chin, those tree trunk islander legs. There's not a fighter in the world (past or present) who could knock this guy out. too strong.

    his punching power comes early and remains until the last round. that is extraordinary strength and power - witness izon and maskaev fights.

    After seeing eat lennox's right hand all night one would have to conclude that this guy is the strongest. No one else has taken flush right hands from lewis and still remained on their feet.

    he never went backwards in a fight. never. even if he was taking big shots. that is an indication of massive strength

    tua was a beast.

    People that have the build you are referring to are extreme Endo-mesomorphs.

    Humans are generally divided into 3 somatypes (body types). Ectomorph, mesomoroh, and endomorph


    Each somatype has particular physiological characteristics

    An Extreme endo-mesomorph is someone who will have extremely high natural levels of muscle, muscle density, and possess a huge predominance of type II muscle fibers. They will have extremely dense bones, and their skeletal build in regards to torso depth will be very high. They will possess reinforced joints, barrel chests, and basically be built like tanks

    They wont be able to run, they will likely suck at any cardiovascular activity, their hand and foot speed will be only average

    However, they also will be 5-9 and 240, and they will go into the gym and bench 300 pounds without ever training

    not when he was unconscious after McCall punched him in the chin
    I would say McCall's chin is much stronger

    George Foreman And Primo Carnera come to mind, I've seen Foreman in his 40's pulling Trucks strapped to his body, and Carnera was a former strongman. Valuev at his size has to be up there as well.

    :good I would have thought this also. The man is 23 stone for goodness sake, so he's 5 stones heavier than most others!! No doubt someone will mention some power-lifter who once fought at amateur level in Sweden, Bulgaria etc:). But until then I would have to select Valuev. It's an interesting one!

    Hey simmo mate, no disrespect, but you sure are a David Tua Fan!:). Nowt wrong with that, except in this case, I do believe that there have been physically stronger heavyweights than David!
