    Could you imagine the odds on this one going to the scorecards?

    tua, better chin and stamina. yet, this would be a war of the first order! both men would get dropped but tua would get up.

    I would also favour Tua who was a bit more versatile

    I think Tua would destroy him early.

    Shavers wasn't very durable. Tua was very durable. Sure, they both had power but Tua would be able to handle Shavers punches... the opposite is not true. Tua by KO.

    Only way tua loses is if he gets nailed by something big and goes into a defensive shell like the lewis fight.

    Shavers out boxes him en route to a highly contested split decision win

    For a guy who lost easily to the best fighters he fought, Tua sure is rated highly on this forum.

    Monte Barret dropped Tua with a left hook. You can watch it on youtube.

    Correct. Barrett dropped Tua "heavily" and Tua was hurt badly.

    I also agree with Ike-man that Tua gets a lot of praise for someone who lost easily to the best fighters he faced.
