Anthony Joshua vs David Tua

Joshua should win, but a 226 lbs Tua from the Ibeabuchi fight would be a live threat... Great stamina and carried his power in the late rounds, Joshua would need to keep his focus the entire fight

 

Joshua via a UD.

Tua never won a world title belt in his era, was only 5 10 and his major strength is his chin. He doesnt have an elite level attack to trouble a multiple world champion like AJ who is solid in all areas.

 

Interesting matchup. Too early to tell with Joshua at this early stage. Right now, I could see it go either way. Joshua could win a decision. Or, Joshua could get stopped late out of nowhere after leading on the cards. (Ala: Rahman, Maskaev, Izon)

 

Very good. One small thing to add on Joshua, he has a tendency to fight down to the level of his opponents and take his foot off the gas pedal when in the lead, so Tua has a puncher's chance, and a chance to get back into the fight as Joshua really does not have a fight controlling type of jab. I'd pick Joshua 80/20

 

It's a reference to people saying all these great things he could do in fights, like people picking him over Marciano.

So there's the joke of the Forum Tua who is a borderline unbeatable ATG, and then there's the real one, who wasn't those things.

 

Whaaaa....oh yes he is

 

Hang on a second, Joshua's already achieved more in his short career than Tua ever did so if he's crap then Tua certainly is.

 

Joshua UD / late TKO

 

This. I have Joshua by decision. Tua has the power to hurt Joshua and most likely would floor Joshua, but I don’t think Tua would be able to stop Joshua, since he relied too much on single punches rather than combinations and I don’t see Tua stopping Joshua with a single punch. Also, Tua would be a complete sucker for Joshua’s check hook.

 

Yes, but in this forum Tua is much greater in hypothetical imaginary fights than he was in real life. This imaginary Tua is neigh unbeatable lol

 

Classic Forum version of David Tua - by early and spectacular KO.
Real David Tua loses UD.

 

After he read some of his David vs Goliath comics, he knows Rocky, Duran, LaMotta und GGG could easily win against Tua or Ibeabuchi, who had medicore chins btw.
Or did Mr. Super Mario swung big Bowser too often on his consoles? Who knows, who knows....

 

I would pick Joshua.

 

I would say that Joshua has done more than enough to be the favorite already.
