    I'm not sure if this ones ever been done before. Both guys have tremendous power. Corrie has the height and reach and handspeed. I'd say Tua has the chin. Who do got?

    they were signed to fight at least once & it fell apart. And Sanders had 3 fights with Brewster fall apart. Lots of times the fighters just did not take risky fights and we the boxing fans got instead was a stay busy type fight instead.

    Tua had the chin and stamina advantages. Sanders was taller, had quicker hands and was much less predictable. But he would have to KO Tua early to beat him and it would be incredibly hard task even for Corrie or any other big puncher, because Tua had great chin. If the fight goes past 6 rounds I can't see any other outcome than Tua by stoppage. Sanders had terrible stamina and Tua carried his power late and stopped a lot of guys in the late rounds. And out of Sanders' 31 KOs, 29 were knockouts in the first 3 rounds, one in 4 and one in 6.

    I have tremedous respect for Corrie Sanders - he was great man and great warrior inside the ring, but I think it would be very hard task for anyone to KO Tua early, so I'd go for Tua by late stoppage here.

    Sanders, however, would demolish some guys that give Tua a lot of problems. I have no doubt that Oleg Maskaev wouldn't last a round against Corrie Sanders.

    As always with Tua, what is his weight?

    Would have to give a slight edge to Tua here. However, Tua would need to be careful early on.

    hard to land a left hook against southpaw, especially he has far superior reach and height
