David tua vs today's opposition

Completely agree with these except I'd take out Price and Chisora and add Usyk and Hunter. I personally think Usyk and Hunter UD him also.

 

I think prime Haye and Povetkin would have beat him.

Fury, Joshua and Wilder beat him too.

Tbh we slam Klit as being in a weak era, but Prime Wlad, prime Haye and prime Povetkin would spark out Wilder and Joshua.

 

Tua's chin in overrated.

I can definitely see Lewis, Joshua, Haye, Povetkin, Wilder, Klitschko etc knocking him out if they really went for it.

 

No.

 

The only 3 I would be confident in picking Tua to win against would be Wilder, Ortiz and Price.

 

Yes.

 

Prime Tua had a cast iron chin.

 

Joshua UD. (Tua struggled against 6'2 Oquendo before catching him late. Oquendo won every round up until then)

Wilder UD. 6'7 vs 5'10 Tua just giving away too much height. Wilder could land and dissuade Tua from being too aggresive.

Ortiz UD. Tua giving away 6'' again. Ortiz would be too skilled to allow Tua's looping left hook to connect, which was his highlight-reel-creating shot against mid to lower opposition, most weren't over 6'2.

Tua TKO. PArker's defence is poor. I think Tua would really go after him in a local derby and hurt the kid. Whyte dropped him, so can Tua.

Tua KO Price

Draw vs Povetkin.

Tua TKO12 whyte

Haye SD. Would be a good match-up.

How old was David then, 13?

 

19

 

Tua mostly loses to all the giant tall HWs today.

But mops the floor with the shorter guys - like Povetkin, Ruiz, Ortiz.

 

Not with prime Povetkin. Too good chin power stamina and timing for Tua to handle

 

Good thread. Tua was a good fighter but could never quiet crack the elite. Good power, granite chin but could be out boxed

Tua vs
Joshua - Joshua UD, IF AJ fights similar to Ruiz, Jab move rinse and repeat Tua isn't quick enough of foot to close him down
Wilder - Controversial i'd got for a Wilder UD. Simelar to the first Stiverne first fight. Big power from range Tua would have success but Wilder might have the length to make it ugly and win a decision.
Ortiz - hmm a close fight either way probably Tua close UD
Parker - Another tight one - Parkers mobility maybe stealing him a close win
Price -
Povetkin -
Whyte - Tua KO 8ish Tua by KO, Whyte is vulnerable. Chisora had him working hard but he doesn't have Tua's power -
Haye - Tua wins better stamina, bigger punch Haye would have his moments early but all down hill once he tires
