Tua by brutal knock out, we're talking about povetkin who was behind on points vs takam and roided up, and a guy who went life and death with huck and was badly hurt by huck, once pedvetkin get's hit bu tua he'll be doing that dance he did against klitshcko
Povetkin on points. Better in every way except one punch power. For the people who say look to the Huck fight as to why Povetkin loses, I say look to the numerous fights Tua was down, out fought against opposition below Povetkin. Look at his fights against Izon, Wooden, Maskaev, Rahman, Oquendo....
You're giving Tua a very narrow prime window. December '96 thru January '97 is it? That you feel the need to trim out 99% of his career to find his prime and present your proposition says a lot, tbh... How about 1899 Jack Johnson vs Povetkin?
