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

[p4pking]

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

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.

That doesn't factor in styles at all though. Ken Norton more than held his own with Ali for as many rounds but was hopeless against a knockout puncher, and Frazier was only slightly tougher or less susceptible to an early attack. Tua was limited no doubt, but how exactly does Frazier neutralize his power. He wasn't exactly a Lennox Lewis type fighter now was he.. He'd have to get inside and fight with Tua to win, and I don't see how he wouldn't get the worst of that myself.
I think if anything Frazier gets severlely overrated on behalf of being Ali's nemesis, he didn't really beat anyone else better than David Tua for my money.
