    If Hasim Rahman & Oleg Maskaev can outfox Tua for 10, 11 rounds so can Cooney. I don't think Tua can survive Cooney for 11 rounds though.

    Cooney KO 7.

    Cooney is underrated, Tua is overrated.

    Dunno man, just watched a few of his fights recently and realized just how rubbish he is. If you can keep moving for 12 rounds you beat him. Pretty much that simple. The guy has to put roots into the soil before he can throw a decent shot.

    Tua really is as mediocre as Hut makes out. He had the typical Islander mindset toward discipline as well.

    The way you feel about Tua is the way I feel about Duran. Maybe this helps us understand each other? :NotThink:

    Well.....except Tua is one of the most technically appalling and limited fighters in the history of the sport and Duran is one of the very, very best.:dunno:

    I don't hate Tua. I like him fine. I just recognise just how limited he is.
