    A prime David Tua would be a force in the current heavyweight division. He would most certainly destroy the Bronze Bomber and Parker I imagine. Only Joshua and Klitschko are guys that could give Tua a challenge imo.

    Thoughts?

    That chubby Hawaiian would get ruined by Tony Bellew.

    Tua would beat Wlad, Wilder, and even the ROIDED version of Povetkin. Maybe Joshua could keep him at bay with the 1-2s long enough to outpoint him.
    Tua would wreck fat Fury, his cousin, David Haye with or without the toe, Bellew....

    LOL! The giants of the division wouldn't be well suited to Tua, but Tua vs Bellew would be a Tua win by decapitation.

    Fury would outbox him similar to how Lewis & Byrd did.
    I could see Tua KOing the likes of Wilder & AJ who are not good enough boxers to keep him at the end of a jab, they rely on power but Tua had a great chin and would eventually land his left hook IMO.

    They all have suspect chin, Tua destroys all of them. Only wlad has the experience and it would still be intense. Tua is more dangerous than Samuel Peter.

    Klitschko--Tua loses unless he lands something big and knocks him out
    Pulev--Tua loses unless he lands something big and knocks him out

    Tua would be solid in every era.

    That said, there are some big, big guys floating around now.

    Fight I'd want to see would be Povetkin / Tua. Oh, yeah!

    I like Tua Wilder. Will Tua chop this tree down or Wilder broke his hand on Tua's cranium? Lol

    There's no doubt in my mind that Wilder would be like a bone tossed to a starving wolf against Tua.

    I simply cannot see the Wilder that got outboxed and driven back by the jabs of featherfist Washington surviving the sort of bombs that Tua brings to the party.

    You're just trying to get a rise out of people! You know there's a difference between Samoans and Hawaiians, but like an a$$ you make an ignorant statement like that! SMH
