    tua got schooled by byrd, held to a draw against sloppy joke rahman, and knocked down by barrett.

    he didn't win one second of one round against lewis. his ibeabuchi performance was fantastic but that and ruiz are his only GREAT performances

    Surprising not to see Tony Ayala named yet. The muscle tone of a three-month old baby.

    Tua never showed the stamina nor workrate of Frazier. Terrible comparison.

    I would say Galento without a doubt. One of those fighters where technical skill will not get you far, unless you are the utmost best technician.

    I don't think any fighter should be given the "naturally fat" pass for being constantly out of condition.

    It's hard to say who did better as a fattie. I mean, I think Galento was better than Don Cockell, but Cockell was fatter, so who gets the credit ?
    Leroy Jones was one of the fattest contenders I've seen, and he could box a bit.

    Old George Foreman was quite effective for a fatty.
