Tua wouldn't land anything big on Wlad, it would be an absolute destruction, he gets KO'd or the ref stops it, even with his iron chin Tua couldn't take the amount of punishment Klitschko would inflict.
Lets not forget Tuas heroic showing against Lewis where he gracefully slid away out of range of Lewis punches only to roll his fists from long distance. Had Tua put it all on the line that night he'd have been flattened.
Tua knew that if he opened up against Lewis he would be crushed and jeopardize future big fights, so he took the Sultan Ibragimov route and stayed in a different area code all night.
It's not about muscle alone, that's for sure. You said "Wlad has never looked better physically than he did against Sanders.", and that's NOT accurate. Wladimir is in as good of shape now as it gets, he's got better nutrition, a better trainer and as a result of those things, better stamina, techniques, strategy, etc... There is NO QUESTION, not a single doubt, that the Wladimir of today is a much better fighter than the Wladimir of 17 fights ago.
When was the first Peter fight, like 6 years ago? Keep grasping at those straws & holding on to hope that Wlad gets careless.
That's funny, Lewis himself claimed he didn't take the Rahman challenge seriously. Something about not being acclimated and taking his opponent lightly. Similar to Wladimir not taking Corrie Sanders seriously enough.
As if................:rofl Especially since he hasn't been put to sleep ever. Unlike Lewis now that you mention it. :thumbsup
..watch masuev/tua............wlad winning on points and tires late and gets hit.......david tua 9 rd tko over wlad
YOU ****** HATER. sillyatsch It says PRIME vs PRIME. Tua was 245lbs, morbidly OBESE, Burger King Fanatic VS Lewis in 2000. If you can use that stupid eXample - what about when... A 37 year old, part-time boxer, lardass golfer, rusty bum Corrie Sanders KTFO WALDO's paper-mache chin in less then 3 mins 30 seconds!! WALDO was much more Prime there, then Tua was VS Lewis. :happy:| Or how about when Bummy Brewster KTFO WALDO in 5 rounds?? WALDO was in Prime physical condition in BOTH them fights where he was KTFO by ****ing unskilled caveman bums. :deal :tong:hey:hi: FOREMAN HOOK, MOTHERPHUCKER! :rasta
