Who do you think takes it if they fight today? Heavy hands, great chin, this could potentially be a great fight. :hey
If Tua is any resemblence of what he was 5 yrs ago, he should be able to stop Sam. ....but if Peter got himself into the shape he once was (verse Toney) it could be interesting.
Its a nice fight for both. For Tua its a name fight to get him back firmly into the title picture and for Peter its the same really if he wins.
Peter on points. They both have big chins and Peter has never KO'd anybody top flight. That said the man finds a way to win in bad situations where as Tua except for the 1st Rahman fight and the Maskaev fight he lost in the bad situations. Peter got off the deck 3 times against McCline and beat Toney 2X and Maskaev. I do not like Peter but I would take him. The guys that beat Peter are exceptional and usually tall boxers like the K Bros but Eddie beat him. Tua has the ability to be out boxed and I think Peter is the better boxer.
They both have great chins so IF Peter came in at a good weight then it would be an interesting fight b/c they can both hit really hard. I'd probably go with Tua.
It would be intersting to see Tua fighting a real contender after such a long layoff we can see how much he really has left.
i think it would take longer for Tua to KO Peter if at all this guy got hit by both Klitschko's and he went well past 5
it took vitali 9 rounds to put away obed sullivan, it only took tua ONE, so whats your point exactly?
Tua has every advantage here.... better stamina, better combos, better power, far more accurate punches and that insane chin... Peter might get to about the 5th but i doubt it - he will stand in front of Tua and cop some insane punishment. Also, Tua wont have to reach for once in his career :rofl
This is a fight I'd love to see and I slightly favor Tua. I however would love even more to see Tua vs Haye. Lets see the man run for 12 rounds against him lights out Mr Haye
