Wladimir klitschko is slaughtered for his level of opposition

Nice :good

 

In the spirit of this thread,

David Tua is really a boring mute Tony Galento with better hair.

There really is no other difference between the two. Galento was maybe smarter, boxed dirtier, and does have the better wins though. But you really can't rank one over the other, match them up against the same fighters, they would produce the same results, though I doubt Tua had the heart and craft to match Nova's dirty fighting and take him out.

 

A Galento comparison is quite the disservice to Tua. Tua was a very good fighter with a decent set of skills and intangibles. He was bigger, stronger, faster with a better chin than Galento and in my opinion punched a great deal harder. He did squander his talent at points in his career whether it would be to a fallout with his management team or just coming into fights way out of shape. That and the Lewis fight are what people mostly judge him on when they say ridiculous things like he was a "**** fighter".

 

To be fair Lennox Lewis made a lot of fighters look like **** including your favorite fighter. At least Tua made it to the final bell unlike him.

 

They had a similar skillset and technique really. Galento like Tua, was good at moving in low and countering the jab with a big left hook. And both went to that same bank over and over again.

They were both fat most of the time, so mute point.

Nobody is KOing Galento. Louis could knock anybody cold with one punch and yet his countless flush combinations couldn't put him down for the count.

Check out :28 of this video to see Galento doing his thing..surprisngly very well against a master boxer. That's the extent of Tua's skills as well, guys.

u surely are joking. how far off can you possibly be?

you could lift 5 elites out of his inferior PRE-TITLE defence sequence. carnera, baer, sharkey spring to immediate mind. possibly braddock and schmeling and theres got to be more than I can lift off the top of my head. Never mind Louis world title defence sequence which is of a higher calibre in general.

wlad ran screaming scared from lots of contestants who would have ended his title run permanently as you well know, though I give him credit for povetkin and haye and for his great longevity.

 

No, it isn't. Only if you are under the impression Galento was just a fat brawler and ignore his limited but effective skill set at setting up his money punch.

Both were short strong guys with hard chins and one great punch. Unforunatley they were both predictable in strategy and erratic with their conditioning.

I don't believe Tua was faster with any one punch or hit harder. They both were of average hand speed while in shape and hurt everyone they conntected their big punch with. No other way to guage it.

 

How do you come to this conclusion? Have you been hit by both men?

Louis had one punch power KO power with both hands: left hook, uppercut, and right cross were all lethal. Tua had one punch power in his left hook.

We can only measure these men by the effects their punches had on their opponents. Louis has given a remarkable number of fighters their first knockout losses. Maybe more than any other.

 

why don't you write that with a quote of the people who replied to you. Because you'd be instantly exposed as a liar.

 

All these Men are Hall of Famers or former/future/reigning World Champions:

Jack Sharkey, Max Baer, Max Schemling, Billy Conn, Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott, Rocky Marciano, Jimmy Bivins, Primo Carnera, Jim Braddock.

Than you have a strong second tier of contenders after that.

Louis' resume at HW is second only to Ali. Two reasons. The heavyweight divison was thriving in the 30s and 40s and he was willing to fight anybody at anytime.
