Tua will KO Vitaly

Vitaly is almost 42

Wlad is not young either

If Tua can get fit and motivated at 40, do not write him off

 

atsch

Have you seen Tuas recent fights? He got schooled and even dropped by Monte Barrett in his last outing. even before that he's went life and death with journeymen like Maurice Wheeler... Tuas shot and he has been shot for a long time. Vitali/tua would be an absolute slaughter... like Vitali/Briggs but probably even worse. Ustinov as crude as he might be shouldn't have a problem beating Tua this August, he might even stop him.

 

Fitness and motivation are key with Tua

Let us wait and see.....

 

hard to see tua beating vitali but he tua is a very big puncher if tua comes in atr his best then he can take out any 1 he wont win on points so he has to stop ustinov & vitali. cheers

 

wow another **** thread

 

hmmmm

 

will he be allowed to use a step ladder?

 

Yes.

 

Tua has been washed up for years.
Right now he hasnt got it.
You put him in the ring with Vitali and he be nothing more than a punching bag.
He is slow, reflexes gone and he would probably get seriously hurt if he fights Vitali.
I really think that they would have a difficult time sanctioning the fight.

 

Those who think Tua can beat Vitali or Vlad are ignorant as Hell. Their hate distorts their senses. All these years and the haters claim that the Klitschkos are the worst boxers in boxing history. Klitschko will knock out Jennings, Wilder, Fury, Scott, you name them.

 

So why not try Tua then?

 

Why should they, exactly? What does Tua bring to the table?

 

Tua wouldn't have beaten him even in his prime, he has no chance now, not even a punchers chance. Tua is shot, he doesn't even hit hard anymore, been too inactive over the years and was never the most disciplined fighter.

I am a Vitali fan but if Tua somehow beats Ustinov and Vitali takes this fight I will lose some respect for him, I can't imagine a less worthy opponent. Tua hasn't fought in a couple of years and hasn't had a meaning full win in a decade. At least Holyfield is in shape, he would be a better opponent than Tua at this point. What's next Bowe?

I just hope Vitali was talking without thinking, he's still better than anyone other than Wlad by some distance.

 

Any version of Vitali makes any version of Tua cry.

 

I still think Vitali has too much to lose to Haye.

Haye's problem is he prefers to box and pot shot and have opponents come to him which is why his 2 most impressive heavyweight performances were against Chisora and Ruiz who walked into his shots.

He'd have to chase Vitali which he won't do, he'd have a similar strategy to the Wlad fight, draw the bigger guy in and counter as they come in. This tactic will be more successful with the slower, older Vitali but unlike Wlad Vitali can take a good shot, a single big shot won't be enough, Haye would have to come forward more and apply pressure and land regularly and grind Vitali down to force a KO because he won't win on points.

If Haye does change his style and apply more pressure then Vitali just clinches to smother any follow up from any success Haye may have in landing, the longer the fight goes on the better for Vitali who has better stamina and work rate.

Chisora did so well against Vitali because he had a better style and attributes to deal with Vitali. Come forward, apply pressure, good head movement. Chisora most importantly also had size and strength on his side at a trim 241 lbs he was just as big and strong as Vitali and able to not be manhandled against Vitali which Vitali usually is able to do with a smaller opponent in close. Chisora's strength allowed him to work on the inside, Haye would not be able to do this being smaller and weaker.

I just can't see how Haye would win.
