    Haye- I'll say Tua gets him out late, if Haye fights conservative he has a good shot.
    Whyte- gets decapitated.
    Povetkin- I'm seeing the ike fight all over again, if Povetkin's chin holds he wins a classic .
    Price - Did we have to ask?
    Parker - No clue
    Ortiz- I could see grandad getting caught late.
    Wilder- I'll go with the surprise of Wilder ud so long as he stays at range.
    Joshua- Tua will be eating a lot of shots from range, I'll go with Joshua by British stoppage.

    Tuas one of the more overrated hws. AJ, Wilder, Sasha, Ortiz all would beat him. Parker is 50/50. He'd probably beat the rest.

    If Tua was around today, he would be the Heavyweight Champ. Today's heavyweight don't have the chin to survive the left hook.

    Not on the list but I will go out on a limb and say that there's a fair chance that Tua would beat Lucas Browne.

    Tua would have trouble with Parker and Ortiz, I could see them going either way. I could see ibeabuchi type fights…

    Tua beats Joshua because his chin and power would highlight Joshua’s stamina issues and willingness to mix it up…

    Wilder matches up well against tua, movement and foot speed would highlight Tua’s slow feet and short arms.

    I think Tua beats the rest but, he seemed inconsistent from fight to fight

    I’ve always thought tua ate and/or partied his way out of championship contention, was much quicker early on in the 220 range. I saw him pull in for his fight with Lewis in a stretch hummer limo and my brother and I looked at each other and agreed the obvious party going on within was a really bad sign…and it was a horrible fight…

    Joshua from the Ruiz fight wins on points
    I see Tua ko’ing Wilder In 6
    Ortiz has not enough movement to avoid tua and keep it from getting on the inside, Tua KO late
    Parker beats Tua on points imo
    Price gets Ko’d in 2 rounds by Tua
    Tua Ko’s Povetkin whilst behind on the cards late
    Whyte vs Tua could go either way when they’re trading them left hooks
    it’s whoever lands first
    Haye could win if he sticks to a gameplan, but I don’t think he could, he always goes for it at some point Tua ko late
