    35 year old Moorer who was there for a payday maybe. I do not think Ruiz would let himself get caught like that every time or at every point in his career. He learned from that loss and went on to achieve a lot despite being one of the most unenjoyable fighters ever to get on tv that much.

    Ruiz's octopus impression would not work against Tua. He might survive but won't rack enough points to win.

    Why are you comparing Tua to those guys if you don't think that's even an appropriate comparison??

    Tua busted up Holyfield in sparring. (There is video of it)

    And Tua-Tyson would have been a slugfest for the ages....
     
    ikrasevic and The Real Lance like this.

    Not overrated at all
    Tua was a tremendous punching force of nature, who has some very good names on his résumé

    The ibeabuchi fight was quite a slugfest
