    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12658&page=2
    the participants in WBA tournament are Valuev, Ruiz, Liakhovitch and Tua.

    Since Quiet Man fought already two of them It would be interesting to see how does he compete with Liakhovitch :bbb

    In other end it would be great to know how do you see the comparison between chin and power of Tua and Valuev.:boxer

    It would be great if you can disscuss some potential dilema or insights if you have any. :rant

    Its really surprising there is so small amount of votes,
    I thought you will be more interesting to see who wins and how?

    This match is really interesting, will Sergei fight smart like with Brewster or just plain stupid like against Briggs?
    Ruiz performance is obvious.

    Valuev too much for Tua?
    Lyakhovitch over Ruiz .... Ruiz finally coming for his retirement.

    Both fights are hard to choose I think Vaulev is too big for tua, and sergi is very unpredictable but I will pick him over ruiz

    Tua however have very good chin, he can walk to Valuev and work his body all the fight.
    Valuev probably cannot hurt Tua from inside.
    The only chance for Valuev is to hang on Tua and tire him.

    Well, Tua doesn't have a workrate and like it or not, Valuev does have a decent jab. Tua isn't going to get enough leverage to knockout Valuev unless it's by a body shot, and I think whenever Tua gets close, Valuev will just clinch and tire him out like you said. So yeah, don't really see how Tua is gonna win this one unless he gets back in shape.

    Sergei is the better fighter than Ruiz but, I am still suprised he lost to Shannon Briggs....I picked Liakovich by UD but it's not a solid pick.

    Valuev 7 - Tua 5 ... everything may happen yet, tua seemsto be tired a little

    Lyakhovitch 9 - Ruiz 3 ... seem to be easy fight for Sergei but this may be misleading.
    Ruiz was comming off to the top from bigger pressure.

    Do you guys think Lyakhovitch is so good just because he beat Brewster?
