Haye would beat down Tua in six to eight rounds easy without taking any punishment himself. Tua was great but this would likely be a one sided demolition should it ever happen.
:rofl You guys are insane. David Tua is David Haye's worst nightmare. He had trouble with Mormeck and Fragomeni, two short come forward fighters. Haye couldn't get leverage on his hayemakers when they smothered him. He didn't do particularly well under pressure. Please tell me, considering this, how the hell does he deal with somebody that comes forward, is way stronger, can not be hurt and hits like a mule?
Bad fight for Haye -Tua would be in with a serious shot here. The only questions marks are what does he have left now with age and inactivity. I reckon Tua has a chance of stopping Haye.
I could see the younger and faster hayes really hammering at tua getting him trouble but as he moves in to take him out, tua throws a bomb and its lights out for young david
this site is now full of haye fans. This is a very bad stylistic match up for haye. haye had trouble with small stocky strong guys who come forward and can bang a little. Tua is all of them things, only thing is he could take a far betta shot than mormeck or any of them and can bang as hard as anyone. on top of that tua has a really good defense, same as what toney uses and what archie moore used. tua had a war with ike ibeabuchi but he didnt take many right handers becos of his defense, something no one mentions. even if tua was 40 years old, he would knock david haye out. the reason not only becos of the style, but becos of the power of tua and the punch resistance of haye, two total opposites. tua has one of the hardest punches in history up there with shavers n foreman. and haye has a weak punch resistance getting floored by blown up SMW's. if they fight next year, i predict tua would land hiw dynamite before 6 rounds.
Don't ever compare Tua with Archie Moore you twat. David Haye wouldn't lose to clubfighters from Carolina, neither would he be 100% outboxed by Chris Byrd. Neither would he stand on a distance to avoid Lennox Lewis punches, Tua didn't even attempt to beat Lennox... if he had we would've seen him knocked out.
