With Tua a single left hook could drop you and he relentlessly moved forward, but Lewis out-boxed him, leading Tua around the ring, blocking the hook, dodging wild haymakers, peppering his face with his longer reach.. Lennox was smart, picking and choosing his shots, and he didn't get drawn into a toe to toe brawl which was Tua's forte.
Agreed ! Lewis with his long jab , and reach .. was a problem for Tua , and he was too smart to fight him in close .Tua having such a short reach at 5'9 , and didn't have the speed of a young Mike Tyson , to make up for it . Made it almost impossible to beat Lewis at range .
I remember this fight was on Sunday and my whole church left early and all the men crammed in to a house to watch this fight. We cheered for Tua and the fight felt like it only lasted 10min. Lennox was too good but Tua will always be my favourite. Big heart and an iron jaw 🇼🇸❤️
@Rich.Saluni Yes I can do that because I was successful in school academically and have a 6 figure job from the comfort of my own home, without having to collect garbage bins on the street or climb trees to get coconuts to sell to rich Asians.
@Rich.Saluni fortunately the world doesn’t run on having big balls or big muscles. Which is why samoans are overrepresented in poverty statistics and health issues such as premature death from diabetes lol.
@Rich.Saluni Wow you really are low intel... I never mentioned anything about babies. That's not a "premature" death. That's an infant neonatal death mr low IQ... Premature means an ADULT that misses the life expectancy significantly i.e. dies EARLY (means premature). LOL i feel sorry for the educational level of samoans. Also I mentioned dying from diabetes. You do realize neonates don't have diabetes yet right? LOL.. wow really low education.
*David Tua was the closest thing to Mike Tyson! David was never knocked out or even knocked to the canvas! He is the best heavyweight never to become heavyweight champion of the world! Amazing fighter from New Zealand!*
He (Tua) was knocked out by Felix Savon - this Felix Savon would have also knock out Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson and all the other boxers of the 90s if he would allowed to be professional boxer. But cuban boxers were not allowed to be professionals.
I remember this fight; watching w/ my friends & all of us cheering for Tua. He just struggled to reach Lewis ... the reach (range) difference was too much to overcome. Lot of work to get clean head shots on Lennox.
As a kiwi who spent many years in boxing gyms and dojos, i watched this fight with great hope and expectations. This is where Davis Tua got given a boxing lesson, don't dobt that Lennox had ample fear and respect for David's circle punching ability. Afight well deserved in my book. It's a shame bad boy of Hollywood (John Wayne's) grandson Tommy Morrison career ended prmaturely...
Tua can't stay against Tyson ... Lewis continues played tua from gap . Whereas Tyson is a attacker . Tua is powerful but his left hand is not in position to attack whereas Right is in position but strangely he won't use of that .... !!! See Lewis in other hand his right hand is completely covering his face (even it is position to attack) and by left he was continued getting points
@Frothbyte Never said he had a bad chin, but not as good as Tuas. I think Tua has that as a huge advantage in a fight. Tua never gassed out either. But either way it would be close.
That's true, I always wonder why David Tua was not popular? I only knew his name after this RUclips era which means he is already retired. I think he had all these requirement to be a popular boxer, he was good boxer, dangerous and has unique characteristic. I think that Tua could compete with all top heavyweight boxers in his prime including Mike Tyson. It would be fantastic if David Tua met Mike Tyson, they both were almost with the same style, both are dangerous.
@@bungcoba6956 Um...did you watch this video? Tua could not compete with the top 5%. It's different at that level. Lewis basically schooled him. Tua was a good top B class fighter. But he wasn't beating A class fighters.
@@Potent910 styles make fights. A good defensive fighter could outbox him but a slugger like Tyson, Frazier, Liston, Foreman etc could have lost to him. Tua had an amazing chin and 1 punch KO power.
Aside from being the excellent fighter that he is, the thing that favoured Lennox Lewis the most, was that Tua couldn't instill any fear in him whatsoever. Many of the others were half way defeated before they got in the ring, being so afraid of him. Not Lennox Lewis. Great fighter. We need more like him. LET'S GO TYSON FURY !

Lennox is one of the smartest of the super heavyweights. He knew that he would exhaust himself trying to knock Tua out. Instead, he stayed on the outside, jabbed, boxed and landed solid right hands. Tua's mistake was not moving his head enough and not cutting off the ring. Had Tua landed more body shots, he slows Lennox down and is more dangerous in the fight.
Lenox is my brother he is coming out like a ragging lion with a style... Tua I love his style of boxing super nice. He is a brother too.Bless both of them amen

Young Tyson had elite head movement, and body shots that cracked ribs.....Lewis would not have been able to relax and fire jabs to keep a young Tyson at bay.....It would have been so awesome to see a Prime Tyson/Prime Lewis fight!
Great pro-Tua editing in this video. I've never seen such a one sided fight, completely dominated by Lewis made to look as if it were half close, which it wasn't at all. Lewis schooled Tua in this fight, it was an absolute heavyweight boxing master class. Lewis was by far on another level to Tua, who was ranked 2 in the world at this stage.
@Mohican Yandall I think you're right.. the guy looks fearless and so determinated ! anyway He couldn't reach Lewis (knocked him 2 or 3 times in.the first rounds anyway but Lenox have some chin !)
Lennox Lewis is just so incredibly good at what he does. To have seen him fight Mahammad Ali/Cassius Clay would have been the highlight of any boxing fan's life.
David Tua was a warrior without a doubt, but Lennox is a far superior boxer, kept his cool and knew exactly how to get the job done. That's good boxing IQ.

Points is what's on Lennox mind. Unlike most professional heavyweight boxers, it's k.o that matters most. For Lewis, it's not about working hard, but smart.
We All hear of the hardest hitters in hw boxing with shavers, foreman, iron Mike, and wilder at the top but tua may not be as famous but anyone who knows boxing know tua belongs at the same table as the shavers and foremans of the boxing world, tua had devastating power,an I would put him somewhere in the top 6/7 hardest hw punches of all time.
The 2 fighters that afmire most. Lennox for me was the best ever. He won Holyfield, Tyson, Klitsko and Tua. Tua was at least equal with Tyson at his best. Tua was the real beast.
It seems to me Lewis never got a lot of love from fight fans but my god he was so good. He could make other good fighters look ordinary often, one of the greats!
@@dma1176 how. Frazier lost by KO in 2 rounds v Foreman. Good fighter but not as good as Lennox (who beat every man he fought). Ali was in the same league as Lennox.
Masterclass by Lewis if you watch the whole fight. I would put the video of the whole fight to any young amateur boxer mainly focusing on: keeping the distance with your jab, how to throw a stiff jab while you use to maintain your distance and scare/desperate your contender, how to dominate a fight from the beginning to the end while maintaining your plan , not the fight the kind of fight your contender wants you to get in. He only has a good left hook as a definisher? Move to his right constantly and make your fight.
Ну конечно, с его как минимум надо было снять 2 балла, боролся, держал. Туа больше нанёс попаданий. Тут у Льюиса был приём братьев Кличко 30% бокса 70% борьбы. Впрочем он всегда так делал, когда ему попадался хороший боксер
Tyson more skilled than Tua as he was able to move pass Lennox jabs sometimes. However, Tyson was not well trained when he fought Lennox, he gassed out too quick and had little head movement.
As a big fan of both, I can tell which one win the gold n which one win the minor medal in the Olympic on this fight alone. Lewis could KO Tua if he try a bit harder but at the same time it’s a bit riskier, so Lewis play it safe n just box. Bravo to both
Lennox did a good defense by not getting hit with that powerful left hook perfectly, because if it did landed perfectly” that’ll drop Lennox to the floor, but that was a good fight
@@alanmcdougall1064 Lennox took care of him but Tua's left hook was nasty but look at the fight. Tua was a lumped up in his face. I do like Tua but he didn't get to Lennox
Lewis didn’t just outclass from range, he landed some really heavy shots in the mid rounds that sickened Tua who was just on the receiving end all the time with zero success of his own.
Для меня Туа всё равно лучший,а этого Льюиса многие презирали за его самовлюблённость и надменность, он и выигрывал почти всегда по очкам, скучный у него бокс был, он не нокаутёр.

Points is what's on Lennox mind. Unlike most professional heavyweight boxers, it's k.o that matters most. For Lewis, it's not about working hard, but smart.
Yes, he did not take the middle of the ring being the champ.
Entrances were the shit back in the day
We All hear of the hardest hitters in hw boxing with shavers, foreman, iron Mike, and wilder at the top but tua may not be as famous but anyone who knows boxing know tua belongs at the same table as the shavers and foremans of the boxing world, tua had devastating power,an I would put him somewhere in the top 6/7 hardest hw punches of all time.
Great boxer David tua
I love the way tua tries to go in for the kill and smashes his head into the pole.hahahahaha😅
I shocked was I see how Tua fought! Great respect to David Tua for this fight!
Could move good for a shorter heavyweight and could crack had a hella of a chin.
I will advise you to go and watch full fight. This highlights was doctored to make Tua look great. Lewis beat him like school boy

Lewis is one of greatest heavyweights ever. Anyone that disputes that knows FA about boxing.
Lewis GOAT. ...Ruddock, Tyson, Morrison, Tua, beat all the hitters without breaking a sweat....
Fight Tyson to old ,need to fight em at prime
True. The man is supreme.
The 2 fighters that afmire most. Lennox for me was the best ever. He won Holyfield, Tyson, Klitsko and Tua. Tua was at least equal with Tyson at his best. Tua was the real beast.
Yes, Lennox Lewis is the best heavyweight boxer of the world of all time.
Tua vs peak Tyson would have been epic.
Both are Legends😍
Tua's NOT a legend!! Lol!😂😂😂
@@thespy7795 Yeah just a guy with a weird haircut and above average power.
Lewis gran boxeador mi idolo de los tiempos. Muy disciplinado
It seems to me Lewis never got a lot of love from fight fans but my god he was so good. He could make other good fighters look ordinary often, one of the greats!
Me: Mom can we watch Ali vs Frazier?
Mom: No we have Ali vs Frazier at home
Ali vs Frazier at home*
👍😁
Lewis would have smoked either Ali or Frazier.
Maybe
@@jackhughman9450 hell no😂 Frazier and Ali are leagues above Lennox
@@dma1176 how. Frazier lost by KO in 2 rounds v Foreman. Good fighter but not as good as Lennox (who beat every man he fought). Ali was in the same league as Lennox.
@@shaz2761 yeah Ali, Forman and Frazier were all leagues above Lennox😂
David Tua is a mike Tyson of the pacific
What a brave boxes David Tua really a phenomenal boxer
Except against a champ.
Amazing game
Tua had a wicked left hook. Beyond that Left hook he had nothing. I knew Lewis would say clear of the hook & he did a wonderful job at it.
Masterclass by Lewis if you watch the whole fight.
I would put the video of the whole fight to any young amateur boxer mainly focusing on: keeping the distance with your jab, how to throw a stiff jab while you use to maintain your distance and scare/desperate your contender, how to dominate a fight from the beginning to the end while maintaining your plan , not the fight the kind of fight your contender wants you to get in. He only has a good left hook as a definisher? Move to his right constantly and make your fight.
Oтличный бой,бокс в исполнении Lennox Lewis 🥊🥇🇬🇧
Ну конечно, с его как минимум надо было снять 2 балла, боролся, держал. Туа больше нанёс попаданий. Тут у Льюиса был приём братьев Кличко 30% бокса 70% борьбы. Впрочем он всегда так делал, когда ему попадался хороший боксер
I remember that fight! It was so profound that I went out and bought an aquarium.
Tua would’ve been a good boxer if he had the right training. He relied on that lunging left hook way too much.
Yes he did say thanks for the heads up
He was trained by the same trainers that trained Holyfield when he first turned pro.
As always, master class boxing from Lewis !!
Boring
Let's run it back. Tua vs Tyson and Tua vs Lennox, hell even Tua vs Holyfield.
Tyson more skilled than Tua as he was able to move pass Lennox jabs sometimes. However, Tyson was not well trained when he fought Lennox, he gassed out too quick and had little head movement.
I love Tua and still love him now! He will always be my greatest boxer of all time, despite "losing" to Lenox.
David was disadvantaged by his height, otherwise what a fighter and he had Tyson bursts.
Tyson had a full on Beast Mode, Tua only became an animal at times in the ring
Тайсону образца 1986 года не было равных
Ну да,кроме Айка Ибеабучи.
One thing I can say about Lennox is he didn't shy from defending the title.
Only way to beat Lewis is to send in a Prime Terminator with Rooney in its corner.....
Lennox Lewis’ ring walk in this fight was sick ngl
As a big fan of both, I can tell which one win the gold n which one win the minor medal in the Olympic on this fight alone. Lewis could KO Tua if he try a bit harder but at the same time it’s a bit riskier, so Lewis play it safe n just box. Bravo to both
Nah I doubt Lewis would ever be able to KO Tua but good point
No way tua would get k.o he only fell short because Lenox kept Staying out or else tua would have k.o him EASY 💯
Fights we should have gotten Tua v Tyson , Lewis v Bowe and Tyson v Bowe
I have always thought Lewis Is One of the most underrated fighters ever.
Nah, under appreciated more like
ЛЕННОКС ЛЮЬИС САМЫЙ ЛУЧШИЙ БОКСЕР В МИРЕ! НЕТУ НИКАКИХ ПОНТОВ НИКАКИХ ПРОБЛЕМ!
Was these the last days of heavyweight dominance before lower weight classes took over. It was only recently that they are making a comeback.
Lennox did a good defense by not getting hit with that powerful left hook perfectly, because if it did landed perfectly” that’ll drop Lennox to the floor, but that was a good fight
Another day in the office for Lennox Lewis.
As boring as a Klitschko brother
*Not so David Tua could punch like Mike Tyson it was not just another day at the office! No one who fought David Tua underestimated him!*
@@alanmcdougall1064 Lennox took care of him but Tua's left hook was nasty but look at the fight. Tua was a lumped up in his face. I do like Tua but he didn't get to Lennox
Boxers from different eras. But Tua vs Ruiz would be a great fight.
Tua’s my guy, but damn he got tamed by lewis
Ty
Lewis didn’t just outclass from range, he landed some really heavy shots in the mid rounds that sickened Tua who was just on the receiving end all the time with zero success of his own.
Well he is taller and more reach
Too much skill from Lewis.
"You've gotta come to the ring with more than just a left hook and a bad haircut" - Lennox Lewis
Lennox na opinião foi um dos melhores do mundo uma maquina de bater.
Não e que ele era bom mas e pq o cara tinha uma envergadura que pra acerta um golpe nele tinha que apanha muito e foda
Lennox o melhor do mundo.
This is probably the closest thing we ever gonna see to a prime tyson vs lennox lewis
Brave boxer from New Zealand
He's from Samoa.
@@claudio7569 Thanks for the information 👍
Os lutadores old school eram técnicos e fortes..
В этом бою, чут чуть не хватает длины рук у Туа, столько моментов было , если бы дотянулся Льюис уснул
Для меня Туа всё равно лучший,а этого Льюиса многие презирали за его самовлюблённость и надменность, он и выигрывал почти всегда по очкам, скучный у него бокс был, он не нокаутёр.
Просто, ему надо было, если идти вперёд, то идти с ударами. А он, особенно в конце, пёр как танк, но без ударов.
А зачем пёр, небось и сам не знает.
@@Оби-Ван-е9н на тот момент был лучшим, как ни крути
@@Оби-Ван-е9н Льюис - обыковенный забор.
Туа - великолепный и смотрибельный боксёр.
Não entendi nada. rsrs
Lennox is a technical boxer, but Tua is a true legend...
Lewis was a formidable fighter
Lewis was very cool guy in ring and also a nice man. So the great boxer did not get media support he rightly deserved.
David Tua,.David Tua,David Tua,☆☆☆
