If Joe Louis fights the perfect fight. He wins a Unanimous Decision over Tua. Tua would never cease being a KO threat throughout the entire fight, and almost certainly would drop or at the very least hurt Louis in their fight.

How Louis handles that is gonna be the determining factor. If he's able to move, and tire out Tua, and break him down to the body enough to sap the big punch out of him. Maybe he gets through this.

I have to give Joe the benefit of the doubt because he got it done over and over again at the highest level, and David Tua never was quite able to climb the mountain top.

It would be crucial that Joe accepts he needs to be the Boxer here though, and not the Puncher, and it would be hard to convince a hitter like Joe Louis of something like that.

The thought of 6 ounce gloves on Tua is almost frightening. I like Tua to stop Louis even with 10 ouncers.

One shot by David Tua and good-bye Joe Louis. Too small for the Tua Man
