It's official. Only Povetkin ahead of Tua now - between him and Wlad. If Povetkin avoids Wlad then Tua may get a shot. Official rankings- http://www.wbo-int.com/revised/RANKINGS-WBO.asp Somebody in WBO wants this fight to happen. Tua vs. Wlad. One shot to the head is all it takes????
Sad to see how ratings are bought these days, Tua in no way deserves to be rated so high. If Wlad can't lock up a fight with Haye or Povetkin in the coming weeks, I guess we could very well see Tua get his ass handed to him and be finished for good in the fall.
Hmmmm. Guess you haven't been watching Tua closely But I agree - he should really fight an Arreola or Peter or such before Wlad.
One shot to the head is all it takes And Tua has been showing a lot more movement recently His old power is still there
Friday is simply a guy who goes 12 rounds and knows how to survive He has done it many times with high level opponents Let us see who Tua meets next
no, it means tua doesnt know how or couldnt figure out how to take the guy out...for fukes sake he was knocked out by mount whitaker and barney ****ing rubble (ibragimov) and he has but 3 wins in 6 years :rofl
almost forgot...what high level opponents are you talking about?? have you even followed boxing past the last year or 2?? :rofl:rofl
Last I checked Tua was #3, behind Chambers. Wasn't it sort of expected that this would happen once they re-ranked and bumped Chambers down for his loss?
Barney Rubble was a technical draw though, nothing he can really do about that. And he went the distance with Povetkin!!! Although that was a six round fight ...
