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

[Beanflicker]

Tua was never the best conditioned heavyweight. .

No?? His fight with Ibeabuchi had the most punches thrown in HW history and he was still swinging at the final bell. He's scored a bunch of late-round stoppages too, so he proved his power carried into the later parts of the fight.

Tua had deceptively good stamina for a guy of his build.

For everyone saying "well Tua never won anything"... who cares? Styles make fights. If you think Joe would beat a guy like Tua who had a much better chin and WAY more power, was a very accurate power-puncher and a great infighter... I think you have your rose colored glasses fixed on ol' Joe.

And I'm not saying that Tua is a better HW than Joe - FAR from it. I'm just saying that styles make fights and there were certain guys (Tua, Tyson, ect) who would have been absolute poison to Joe's style.


EDIT: I should say that I'm aware Ibeabuchi threw the lion's share of those record-breaking punches, but still that kind of pace will wear you down even if you aren't the one throwing all the punches.
