    Go for Tua but Shavers always has a chance with his insane power.

    I picked Tua but Shavers has a good chance of rocking Davids world, Earnie would go for it! I just think David had a good chance stamina wise but in a all out gun fight dangerous fight for both

    Tua has got to be the obvious choice. His chin wins it for him here.

    It's a two round fight at most .. Tua faster with better chin but very interesting first round or two ..

    Tua wins late round TKO, like 8th round. His chin will weather any storm Shavers can mount.

    Tua is just a horrible style matchup for Shavers. I'd actually give Shavers more of a chance against Holyfield - which isn't much to begin with.

    Shavers becomes the only man to drop Tua, en route to getting stopped.

    I would not bet against Tua finding a way to lose this.

    I think in these fights between 2 men with huge power you come down to the guy with the better chin.
    So it’s Tua for me.

    I think the poll results say it all really. Not impossible for Shavers to win, just very very very unlikely.
