Tua VS Smokin Joe Fraizier battle of the left hooks, who wins and how?

Smoking Joe is higher ranked in history, but Tua, is probably more powerful.

Frazier, because Tua is and was overrated and mediocre.

even matchup. I think Joe takes it on close points win

Tua by knockout. Joe was great but he didn't have the fire power to go toe to toe with Tua.

As great as Joe was, there are a bunch of guys I can think of from history who would probably rank way below him, but would be absolute poison to him in a fight. Tua and Tyson spring to mind.

Tua had the better chin and much bigger power. I can't see that one going the distance and I can't see Joe beating him.

You took the words right of my mouth, I couldn't agree more.

Tua wins by knockout, in the first 3.

Come on! Frazier was dropped multiple times by Bonavena and foreman!

Tua's left hook was immense! Frazier was not a slick boxer either he was a come forward brawler....

Tua via brutal stoppage. Fraziers power would not affect Tua. 240lb monster puncher Ike's couldn't!

Tua had brutish power in his left hook

Tua's left hook was O...FOR...AWESOME!

Wow, I think we may be looking at things through the lens of the present day here.

Tua was a powerful hitter, but he never actually won anything much and lost most of his biggest fights.

Joe Frazier was a tough, tough man, an Olympic heavyweight gold medallist and the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

He had the firepower to blast through nearly all of his opponents, and ravaged Ali in their first fight, knocking him down hard along the way. A slow starter, he was almost impervious to punishment once he got into his rhythmn

People actually think Tua would walk through this guy and stop him early????

It's a fact Tua , has been found wanting a the very top level, both powerful both tough SOB'S pity we
will never no.!

Joe smokes him.

Yep, exactly the point I was going to post. Rahman, Ruiz and Maskaev are all solid wins, but he never really did anything or beat anybody, for me to put in the same league as a man that held his own for 4o or so rounds against Muhammad Ali.

Unless Tua lands a bomb in the first 3-4 rounds he gets beat up badly. Joes bobbing and weaving combined with his constant pressure would be a massive massive problem for Tua. Tua was never the best conditioned heavyweight. Joe in his prime was a machine.

Tua is a tough man but would prob only win 1 or 2 rounds after the 6th

Joe on a wide points win for me.
