Tua's power is rendered a moot point against most top-30 live bodies due to him being so old, shot, and slow. Old, shot and slow Botha was still able to find Williams once he finally began to push the throttle around the 8th/9th/10th after literally sleepwalking for the first seven. Tua isn't the "come on strong late" type. Quite the opposite. He's a fast starter who fades and then hopes for a second wind that may or may not ever come. (decreasingly so with age)

He'll apply the same aggression Botha did to Williams in the 8th/9th/10th, but he'll do so in the 1st/2nd/3rd...and based on Williams' reactions last week and the fact that Tua's got harder fists than Botha...well...
Don't you think what you just described plays perfectly into SBW's hand?

Tua aggressive and blowing his load early, before Williams has gassed out himself and while his physical athleticism allows him to stay on his feet and move away from big, old, slow Tua. Then by the time Williams gasses out, Tua will have already himself...? Just how I see it going down.

No he will not take the fight i wish he would but he will not, he only fights if he knows for certain he can win and after his showing against Botha i really think he will duck Tua. Unfortunately i would like to see Tua cave his jaw in

Tua has not called out SBW himself, only his promoter from Duco events has suggested SBW put his credibility on the line and fight Tua, very unlikely to happen though.
