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.

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.

Apart from Quarry x2, Bonavena, Ellis x2, Bonavena. Chuvalo was a short heavy hitter with an iron chin too.
Who has Tua beat? He was getting a boxing lesson from Rahman for Christ's sake before he landed, and was outboxed to a draw in the rematch by an enormously fat Rahman who hadn't trained. Ike outworked him, Byrd and Lewis embarrassed him. I see nothing of note on his record.

I don't think Bonavena or Ellis were much, if any better than Rahman or Ibeabuchi. Quarry was perhaps for a time but he was a TINY heavyweight and couldn't take a good shot, Tua would've killed him. And as Beanflicker just aptly stated, I didn't say anything about who Tua beat or who beat him, simply that he would've been a terrible matchup for Frazier.
