    Maybe just to stay busy while Maskaev/Peter, Chagaev (hep B), Ibragimov/Holyfield, Byrd/Povetkin, and Brock/Chambers are all tied up. Tua is a big name in today's heavyweight division.

    I, for one, don't like the idea of this fight. Speaking as a Tua fan, its a bad move on his part. He has a much better chance of beating Samuel Peter, Oleg Maskaev, Evander Holyfield, or Sultan Ibragimov.

    One reason is cause Tua has serious knockout power, two he has a top 3 chin in the heavywieght division, the third reason is Wlad has trouble with fighters who have power and a good chin. Brewster,sanders,and Peter.

    It's no worse than any other fight in this shitty division.

    Sadly, your right about this and this is the source of my frustration.

    Brooklyn I also think your right, its a stay busy fight. If I could only believe that it would be immediately followed by some kind of unification I could swing it, but I just think these guys are never going to unify. :-(

    Tua is still decent and not old for a heavyweight, although he is past his prime as we know. But he still is a tremendous puncher and his chin is still iron.

    I prefer Wlad-Tua instead of Wlad-Chambers/Briggs/Ruiz/Virchis/etc

    As do I.

    Its as good a fight as Wlad can get until all the other title fights are settled. I hope Tua wins, then Wlad beats him in the rematch. Just because I think Wlad will be better for the long run. And Tua MUST become a HW champ. If John ****in' Ruiz got to, Tua should have at least a few chances :p.

    Right now there isn't but, after beating Tua (if the rumours of their fight are true), Wlad must focus on one of these:

    a) Ibragimov-Holyfield winner
    b) Peter-Maskaev winner (but I think Vitali will take this one)
    c) Povetkin/Chambers/Byrd/Brock winner

    Chagaev is out of the picture until he announces what he is going to do with his boxing career.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    i didnt understand a word of that

    Tua has nothing more than a punchers chance IMO - he doesnt have the stamina or speed to keep up with Wlad. He would spend the entire night on the end of the jab/cross combination and lose in a wide UD

    :roll:

    This isnt the late 90's man.

    And who are the fake heavies your talking about, and what does Tua do that makes him a real heavy?
