i say two, arreola is tailor made for tua. he cant give you angles, he cant establish a jab, all he knows is "forward forward forward". tua couldn't ask for a better opponent to beat.
if klitschko had hit a guy twice when he was lying on the ground you'd be pissed. too bad its hard for you to see through your bias.
I agree that he could beat Arreola, but that says nothing about his chances against the Klitschko's, who I'm no fan of at all.
Arreola is several steps above Cameron. Who on earth has Cameron beaten? He lost (badly) to some guy called Friday. I like Tua,dont get me wrong but all this talk that he'd beat one of the Klitschkos is crazy. Hes 37 or so now.He couldnt give Lewis any trouble when he was in his prime. The klitschkos would do the exact same thing Lewis did.Keep him at range all night.Jab him into submission.
so is that your reason for denying tua?? if klitschko punched a guy that he floored after landing brutal shots on him i wouldnt give a ****. the fact that he put him down is what wouldve mattered.
That's nice, but that doesn't change the fact that Tua still has a loooong way to go before he's sharp enough to face a Klitschko... and at 36 that time may never come.
i honsetly dont see arreola doing any better than cameron despite of the fact hes beaten better opposition. his style would be to of tua's advantage. i can see vitali beating him, but wlad??? a light, fear induced jab along with excessive clinching isnt gonna put away tua let alone hurt him.
well thats where your wrong my friend, tua hasn't shown any signs of aging judging from his weight loss, his training, his physique, and of course his flawless performance against an opponent thats been extremely active. and with tua's new management, he can get a title fight by next year.
Tua will never become champion at this age, sorry. He's past his prime and has been for a while now. Blasting a no-name tomato can like Shane Cameron shouldn't be realistically changing anyone's views of him. What was supposed to happen, happened. Fun to watch, but hardly inspiring.
so i guess age only matters when your not the klitschkos right??? and beating chris arreola while struggling to beat him isn't all thats inspiring either, what was supposed to happen with klitschko KIND OF happened, i was expecting a KO, but i didnt even get a knockdown. whats up with that? maybe vitali's power is overrated:shock:
What weight loss? He came in a few pounds less fat then he usually does and still looked bloated at that. He shouldn't weigh any more than 230 lbs IMO.... and a flawless victory over some no name bum? Whoopidy ****in' doo! Guess what, he's been doing that since he was a young fighter and how many titles has that won Tua exactly?? And far as Tua not showing signs of ageing I can't confirm or deny that and you can't either until he fights an opponent who can actually fight back. Now is a title shot in Tua's future? I don't know, anything is possible in this dreary, untalented division... but considering his problems with weight, inactivity, age, and just plain laziness, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Light fear induced jab?? You do realise that Wlad has 47 stoppage wins out of 53 wins right?? Including Chris Byrd(Tua couldnt do that),In fact Wlad has a higher knockout record than Tua. Listen,like i said,i like watching Tua,but jumping to conclusion after he beat an utter nobody by the name of Shane Cameron,who has never beaten ANYBODY remotely decent and whos lost badly to a C level fighter already,is severely jumping the gun. Arreola was unbeaten and had fought better fighters,and knocked most of them out. Arreola is streets ahead of Cameron,why do you think hes ranked so far ahead of Cameron? Tua looked amazing in many of his fights before the Lewis fight too,and we all saw what happened there.
what weight loss you ask?? about 60-70 lb weight loss FYI, he entered his camp around 300 lbs. so thats ONE of the many things about this post thats terribly wrong. and as far as titles goes, how many future and former champs has he beaten? moorer, masekav, ruiz?? he didn't have the discipline against lennox and byrd, and i truly believed he couldve beat him if he had the discipline. and the problems that he HAD is long gone my friend, with his new trainer bloodworth, staying in shape is gonna be the last concern, and that his aunt along with his people dying in samoa, has given tua an entirely new reason to keep fighting, therefore making him more dedicated. i dont praise vitali for beating chris arreola, but i praise him for his performance, even though he showed some weaknesses. i dont know why you can do the same for tua.
