He walks you down. Doesn’t blink.
His chin? A wall.
His punches—collisions.
The left hook? Executioner—heavyweights melted to rubble.
One of the most dangerous heavyweights of the 1990s, David Tua’s notoriety earned him comparisons to Mike Tyson.
Many who faced both believed Tua carried the more devastating left hook.
He was 5 feet 10 inches tall, but he knocked out giants.
The Tuaminator carved his legend through violence.
Today, we zero in on the Samoan Nightmare.
