TUA vs ARREOLA is POSSIBLE

I would like to him Fight Arreola anytime. Tua is faster still,and can move far better on his feet. Like Ali said of Big George Foreman "hes just a big ole mummy" thats the way i see Arreola if Tua does get a shot at him.

Thew thing is that Tua has enough power to trouble any other contender in spite of age or things in the past.

I bet OP's left nut that Tua dances rings around Arreola if and when they fight.

 

I saw the HLs of Tuas last fight with King. I must say I was quite impressed.

I think Tua style and power should trouble Arreola. Tua likes to work the body, Arreola doesnt cover his body. Arreola stands with the ear-muffs, David likes to sneak uppercuts through the muffs making it possible to set up that left hook he has or right cross. The most vital thing that I think David has over Arreola is speed.

Arreola is a tough, hard hitting, pressure fighter and this will no doubt be a hard night in the office for Tua. The thing is Tua is use to this as we've seen before with the Ike fight. Just like the Ike fight though, Arreola could come away with a decision.

I think it'll be a great fight, maybe similar to that bombing that Ike and Tua set off. Skill and stylewise I'd go for Tua but its been awhile since Ive seen Tua against a big name and Arreola has been busy with the big guns. Another thing is we already seen Arreola against a Klitschko, maybe Tua should beat Arreola and see how he goes against one of the Klitschkos.

 

I rank Tua one of the Biggest Hype jobs ever.


Arreola will school Tua at this point and would stand hell of a chance beating that midged at his rime too.

Tua is over rater sick. Only guys he ever beat had some serious Chin issues exception of Jonh Ruiz which I think has weak chin too.

 

Tua is way, way past his best but he has a chance at beating Arreola simply because Arreola will stand and trade with him. But it's possible that Arreola will simply outwork Tua and earn a decision as Tua doesn't seem to have the same power of old. Tua has been taken the distance in his last 3 fights against opposition he would have KO'ed in his prime.

I really don't rate Arreola, he's simply a hype job that has yet to beat anyone who's actually any good. He beats bums and journeyman and somehow got a title shot based upon an american fan base and an exciting style. Whenever he has stepped up he has gotten beaten, even by a former light heavy. But at this point of Tua's career anyone who isn't a complete bum could beat him, he's a shadow of what he once was.

 

Nobody in the division trades bombs with Arreola in my opinion. Even Vitali was very cautious against him. Tua gets stopped...

 

I did and I must admit in some ways he performed better than I thought he would. It was nice to see him work the body and keep up a decent workrate. But look at who he was fighting. As bad as Arreola is, he's still way, way better than King. King was just a big static guy who tucked up infront of Tua and threw little back that could threaten him. Prime Tua would have taken King out in a couple of rounds.

I would love to see Tua do well but the Barrett result was a good sign of where Tua is in his career. I hope I am proved wrong and Tua can get a shot at a title but the realist in me believes his time has passed and he will never reach his full potential.

 

I hope it happens. Don't matter who wins it will be an entertaining fight.

 

It's crazy to think, Tua hasn't officially lost a fight since, what 2001 now?

That in itself keeps his name live for pretty much any heavyweight matchup, even after the Barrett disaster.

Until Tua finally gets and official loss again, his name will continue to be brought up for all kinds of upper level match ups.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Tua KO that hideous Lilo & Stitch-looking mofo. Fight should have been made years ago.

 

:good good post.

 

Watch it smart ass. He's a fat Mexican American.

 

Would be a decent fight but Arreola beat this verion of Tua and maybe by stoppage. I would think Tua would look to stay active without much risk while waiting for a possible Klitschko fight. He has name value and ko power so he might make for a marketable fight for one of the brothers.

Arreola is suppose to fight Nagy Agueillera next but after that fight he would be smart if he could get a Tua fight especially if HBO is on board. Good fight for Arreola but maybe too risky for Tua.

 

Arreola would be the clear favourite. Would be a good war.
