    Boxing skills and last the distance?



    I'm thinking i would say Arreola but i just don't think Arreola will last the 12th round vs a powerful puncher in Tua. I don't see Peter lasting the distance cause he has a suspect chin. Rahman would clinch and try to box with his jab but won't slug it with Tua. Toney would try to use his slick skills with the shoulder rolls but won't just stand toe2toe.

    Peter has the best chance in that scenario in my opinion.

    There's few fighters in HISTORY that could beat Tua going toe to toe with him and none of them are fighting today.

    Tua is too freaking hard to hurt and he hits way too hard. Arreola and Peter would be wrecked.

    Why are people so quick to lable a fighter as having a "suspect chin"..how is his chin all of a sudden suspect? He went 12 with WLADIMIR and although badly wobbled in the last couple rounds..he wasn't ko'd nor was he knocked down. The only person to knock him down to my knowledge is Jameel Cline, who is very big and a strong guy, despite his ko percentage. Jameel also knocked down arreola.

    Wtf? Mccline didn't knockdown Arreola. Mccline is not known as a knockout puncher but yet he knockdown Peter 3 damn times.

    Peter can't take hooks which is Tua's best punch. He can only take straight punches.

    I think a charging Tua would even make Peter back peddle.

    if you put them in concrete and made them only throw hooks, i would favor tua over anyone fighting today except for vitali, i think vitali would take him out
