This man is a monster, incredible power, granite chin, the guy has never even been wobbled. He is also one of the hardest punchers ever, as shown nicley in this clip. Anyone else a Tua fan?

Tua is one hard boxer, but Lennox made fairly easy work of him, staying behind the jab for the whole fight.

Yep, I was really dissapointed in his performance.

In my opinion though, nobody, not even a prime Tyson, could stand toe to toe and slug with Tua.

Now you mention it, his legs are huge, especially his calves.

Puts all the little pretty boy body builder's who hang around at my gym to shame :p

Not a chance, Lewis was just too smart for him, as fast as Tua was, Lewis had a huge height and reach advantage, and would still have stayed behind the jab all night.

Yep, he boxed clever and won easily. Tua seemed to be intimidated by Lewis' right (as everybody should be!).

However, if Tua could have trapped him against the ropes, it would have been....messy. Lewis couldn't KO him so had to fight for 12 rounds, and he would have only needed to be caught once. Shame, Lewis was just too skillfull for him.

I would disagree with that one. I think a prime Mike Tyson would have drilled Tua into the ground and Tyson explosive punches and hooks would prove too much. Just my opinion too.

Shame we will never know.

Yep, it may play out that way. But Tua is more powerful than Tyson, and has a much better chin, and Tyson seems to shrink from people who aren't scared of him (which Tua certainly wouldn't be).
