    Tua is a lazy bum.

    If he is not motivated, he wont train and shows up in bad shape.

    Recently he had a local derby and showed tremendous form and blew the highly rated opponent out of there.

    I think Haye's mouth could get Tua fired up again...

    Tua is absolutely shot to ****. Slowest comeback in history and Two Gunz made him his *****.
    Haye KO's this version and probably beats every other version too. Tua never lands **** on Haye.

    Tua is shot.

    If he was in his prime, he would have hurt Haye very badly.

    I think he's talking current Tua.
    Prime Tua would probably "Tua" Haye.

    :lol:

    Are you serious? Prime Tua would have done what Wlad failed to do - either brutally hunt and chase him down for a late KO, or knock his head off within the first half of the fight. He's a stylistic nightmare for Haye.

    Would have been better but he did say "probably beats every other version too." Poster above me knows how it is. :thumbsup

    I think we're talking about current Tua here, and current Tua is shot, and was KD by equally shot Monte Barrett.

    This version of Tua definately gets KO'ed

    I'm really not sold on either of them prime for prime. Haye's last couple of performances don't really count because Tua is so much shorter Haye fights him differently. Plus don't think we have even seen Haye's prime if such thing exists. Tua was a great fighter in his prime and without great champions to keep him out, he would definately have grabbed a belt or two. Haye is the same.

    5' Taller, 8' reach advantage, about the same weight.
    Haye may not have a Lewis jab or be as slick defensively as Byrd but he is lightening fast, powerful, can change it up and is smart enough to know what not to do.

    So toss of the coin for me

    Like i said before it was his "probably beats every other version too" statement that i was referring to. Tua right now is shot to hell, agreed.

    Blake i seriously believe you are underrating Tua and overrating Haye here. Tua showed a lot more against far better opposition at heavyweight than Haye has even come close to. Its a shame he never got a belt.

    Least we can agree on this though. His chin was freakish as shown in the Ibeabuchi fight.

    Yeah I can't think of anyone who KO's prime Tua. Maybe Foreman.
