David Tua vs Deontay Wilder

wilder would end up in a body bag, lol.

 

Chris Arreola says no. Ruiz tapped Joshuas temple and lost to Parker. Youre overrating him and he'll never do anything of note ever again. Ruiz probably gets brutally knocked out by Wilder lol. He has faster hands than Tua and he's slightly taller. Thats about it

 

Tua late KO while down on the cards

 

Head says Wilder but you can never underestimate a glass jaw like Wilder's. One punch is all Tua needs, but getting to that 6'7 head is another story. Slob Tua under Barry is a hard ask. Mongrel Tua at 230lbs with bad intentions is another story.

 

Tua, and I didn't have to think too hard about this one.

 

Can't see anyone from the current HW crop beating a prime Tua except Fury, Usyk and maybe AJ. Everyone else is kissing the canvas.

 

Tua - amazing chin, hot hard come forward and put the pressure on his opponents.

Everything Wilder has avoided his whole career. Let's face when glass jaw Wilder is for Box on the backfoot (which he is helpless at) then it's only a matter of time before Tua KOed him.

 

Wilder either outboxes him throughly like he did Stiverne in fight 1, or he drops & stops him like Arreola. Tua was a one dimensional plodder with no head movement, footwork or defense. He was clueless if you didn't stand in front of him & trade. Wilder will be catching him all night with right hands. Easy work for the Bronze Bomber.

 

Exactly. All the nostalgia fanboys will favour anyone from the past over Wilder.

 

No he wouldn't. He'd struggle to beat Whyte & Chisora. He'd be top 10 & probably a champion, but not for long.

 

He has both power & skills to take out Tua. He can win either way.

 

Tua wasn't a great boxer and was outboxed by some average boxers but he'd definitely KO guys like Whyte because all he needs is one shot.

 

Tua knew just one way to fight and that was coming forward with menace!

We know that Wilder cannot fight when he’s backed up, he cannot get his right hand home when someone denies him the room to do so. Tua was in the face of every opponent he ever faced and he’d be in Wilders face throwing that wrecking ball left hook to body and head.

Wilder may land the right (odds are against it) but it would likely have little impact on Tua, I think Wilder would have to land it a few times for it to have an effect.

Meanwhile, Tua lands his left hook once and Wilder gets his “body in the ring” his own!

Too easy for Tua

 

True. But I see him struggling like Povetkin did before he clipped him.

 

Quick easy and ugly for Tua. It might look similar to the John Ruiz fight.
