  • No matter Tua's knockout ratio is obscenely high: his legs are like fucking sequoias. A superior genetic trait most Samoans have, I've noticed. Powerful builds, too; in general. If Tua would've stayed focused; i.e., if the Ibeabuchi loss hadn't caused dissension in his camp the way it did, he'd have been great ... not just good, but great!

  • @ArtzzMLG I wouldnt say tua got the living shit kicked out of him? Lennox never really hurt tua he out boxed him for sure tho I cant deny that, but as far as Lennox kicking tuas ass ummmmm....... he won but it wasnt a knockout so in my opinion he won the match hands down but kicking his ass negative. Lennox is a great boxer he knows how to defeat a slugger and that is what tua is. I felt in that fight tua was playing into lennox game plan and he lost the fight because of that.

  • Tua one of the best chins in boxing

    @ak47law LOL

  • I LIKE THIS AND BOTH FIGHTERS

  • That shit is not fair, Evander is wearing head gear so he cant use his best weapon.

  • @123sactown word

  • @aky19832001 tua wouldve sparked peak tyson like a firecracker

  • love-tap boxing at its best...

  • Fundamentally, a peaked tyson would do circles around David. Tyson had better footwork, speed and timing. But towards the end Mike gained to much size for his own good. That and the fact that his career ended in the late 80's. Hes a rare fighter whos career roared and sizzeled in a very short time.

  • no wonder why holyfield won against tyson !!! Tua has a similar style and he is the perfekt sparrings partner in preparation for a fight against Tyson..

  • Holyfield was in training to fight Tyson during this time, I guess that`s why he wanted a short stocky heavyweight to spar with, Tua was a beast, He`s got the muscle mass of an NFL Lineman

  • great post
