Tua - who struggled with Cisse Salif and only won a split decision against that lame African journeyman who got a beating by Taras Bidenko in his last fight? You must be kidding! There are dozens of heavies at present who would easily beat that incredibly slow and one-dimensional fighter from New Zealand.
Wlad is clearly the best. As for Toney, keep making jokes about him, but if he somehow manages to get in decent shape again (around 220lbs), even at 39 he'd be competitive with the top HWs out there (with the exception of Wlad) and you know it.
Your taking words from Roy Jones? He didn't say that exactly but this is coming from someone with an even weaker chin and who lasted as long as he did due to his extraordinary speed and skill.
exactly how i feel. there's one excellent boxer and whole bunch of decent to solid contenders who have been unable to establish themselves as a legit #2.
Roy Jones might not be a good commentator, but he knows boxing. Watch the Brewster/Wlad 1 and hear everything he had to say about Wlad, he was laughing when Wlad got rocked by a Brewster jab, Wlad has a worse chin, Jones didnt get knocked out until later in his career, Wlad got laid out twice in his prime.:yep
