Ok i saw someone predicting David Tua to Ko Ali in the first round :(
Muhammad Ali went his entire career only being stopped once, and even then it was against his will and a retirement rather than an Actual Ko.
He had his jaw broken on at least 2 occasions against Frazier and Norton and refused to concede defeat. Please whoever posted that....leave it, you've upset me badly.
What clown posted that? Chump should be kicked off this forum for such a foolish postQuote:

He also went in against great Heavyweight technicians who could punch, such as Floyd Patterson, Larry Holmes and Ken Norton none of whom could KO him.
Ali has a chin which rates up there alongside Haglers.
Ali soaked up punishment when he wanted too, avoided it when he needed too and administered it as he wished too.
So, so true.
What happened when Tua fought Ali?
What happened when Lennox Lewis Boxed Tua?
Or what happened when he boxed Chris Byrd?
He was outpointed and UD'd.
You said my post was "so, so true." That translates to your agreement with my initial statement;
"Ali was pretty much the most skilled heavyweight ever to grace the ring."
If Chris Byrd outboxed Tua, Lennox Lewis Dominated and intimidated him and even Hasim Rahman held him to a draw, what would one of the greatest boxers of all time done to him, keeping in mind Ali had a granite chin and iron resolve.
Furthermore Ali's footwork would have kept him at least 2 steps ahead of Tua at all times, making it difficult to catch him, So tua would be lunging and swinging all night. And if he did land it was on Ali: never KO'D
I know, I know
But what happened when Tua fought Ali?
I was just making an outlandish throwaway comment, Donny. ;)
Remember it's just a fantasy match-up. There is no right or wrong. Tua wouldn't have a hope in hells against Ali but.. we will never know.
Fair enough no prob at all Fenster :)
