    I see both Vitali and Wlad defeating Tua. I always liked it when they compared this guy with Tyson, haha. He has neither the speed nor the defense nor the technique, well, he has nothing to compare with Tyson. Only maybe the physical force. Anyway, I think the two knock him out. 20 cm smaller than Wlad and I think 24 more boy than Vitali. And not to mention the great use of time and distance of the Ukrainians. Jab, jab, right, clinch, and it will be repeated ..

    I pick Vitali def. Wlad May get put on his ass but prob wins. Tua has an iron chin so I don’t see him getting KOed. I’m just curious if anyone knows why these guys never met up

    Oh Lord ... Tua again...
    I'm sure I saw him first time round and he was ok but exposed at elite level.
    No ammonut of these posts will ever make him any better.

    I think Wlad might be 50/50 but Vitali takes the decision for sure.

    Klitschko's via wide UD or TKO. Tua took a good punch, but I've seen stuff vs Lewis and Byrd that makes me think he really doesn't like to get hit, and won't risk what he needs to win.

    Oleg Maskeav was out boxing Tua until he gassed and was stopped late.

    Tua's first fight should be a NC, Rhaman up on the cards, then clocked hard after the bell and could not recover. I felt Rahman was the better in the re-match. A questionable draw.

    wlad gets koed early, the vitali fight tua or vits wins by very close decision.

    interestingly byrd beat both vits and tua. A byrd in the hand is worth tua and klit

    Peak Tua @226 lbs, powerful hungry lion with good stamina who warred with Ike stops Wlad.
    After all, Brewster stopped him in few rounds, and Tua was better.

    Against Vitali it would be more difficult but considering Vitali's lack of punching power and variety compared to Lewis, Tua has a good chance of stopping him late ...

    Tua gets jabbed to death by both and easily tied up when he does get inside. After a few rounds of this Tua goes into his shell and strictly seeks to survive ala the Lewis fight. His chin might see him last the distance but thats about it.

    Easy UD for both Klitschko's.

    Lol at anyone who thinks tua would land anything meaningful against a 2007-2011 Wladimir

    Wladimir would keep tua at the end of the jab, and clinch him inside. After tua tastes Wladimir big right hand he will go into retreat mode the rest of the fight like vs Lennox. Tua was easy to hit, Byrd tattooed him all night, then got his ass kicked vs Wlad

    Wlad Wise UD

    Do people realize how good and dominant Wlad became under steward?


    Stewart improved Wlad tremendously

    Tua for all his power never stepped up brought his A game when he needed it the most. No different here.

    I'd love to take some bets with some people in this thread. Tua eats Wlad's jab with a concerned facial expression for 12 rounds.
