He's got a fair chance of catching David Haye with a tap and it'd be all over, I agree with that. Although, I do believe that David is just on a different level. I think Tua is one of the most overrated, if not THE most overrated fighters of all times. :yep
It would be interesting if it did happen. It would test the things we really need to know about Haye. Can he take a punch? Even the current version farts with greater force than Monte Barrett can punch. Yet when Monte cuffed him he fell on the floor, then he took another swipe, barely caught Haye on the floor yet Haye had to take a knee to recover. Also Tua ain't just gonna fall all over the place like Barrett. Haye would most likely have to fight into the later stages. Looks like he's already 10 foot deep with Vitali now, anyway.
listen you piece garbage, if you watch some of tua's fights pre ike, he had a terrific defense, betta than moore, who got caught far more often. moore was a betta boxer all round but he wasnt as defensively responsible as tua, thats one of the reasons why tua has never been stopped and only been dropped once (hit after the bell) just becos he never became the HW champ, it doesnt mean he doesnt have skill. he is well schooled, by george benton and lou duva. do your homework on the history of boxing before you start talking out of ur rear end.
archie moore fight http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qsz4FakWo10 david tua fight http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ouUQcRGUBY0 watch the defensive moves, same stuff. Tua does it just as good or even betta.
:rofl:rofl:rofl Lack of proper English, even in your own user name... That... well, that's foreboding right there.
Tua quits on his stool after 6-7 rounds, these days I doubt he could even get off a meaningful punch against a young, well conditioned HW with great hand speed. Haye would land too often with big shots that Tua couldn't take for 12 rounds.
theres no point fighting tua.........hes five foot 9.....hows that gonna help him get ready for a 6 foot 8 fighter/????........its pointless.......but tua struggled with maurice wheeler a southpaw journeyman who gave tua fits until he kod him in 7............................anyway david haye would beat tua at this point...........hes old...inactive and short,.....short heavyweights dont have a long time....stick a fork in tua hes done....he even ducked shannon briggs who was begging to fight him. In 2005.....he ducked a 35 yr old razor ruddock back in 99(and ruddock probably would have beat him then)
not true i have 3 rds of them sparring......yes andrew hit him in the nuts..............but andrew beat on tua for 3 rds.........i have it on vhs....how do i put it on youtube too show u guys???
I am in shock that a guy who can't even get a fight on tv is even being said to be close to haye....it is not 1999
Is Tua still active? The Tua I remember was a beast, I rekon he'd still give hell to any HW. (I bet he's in the 300lbs right now tho, When was his last fight) I know he still has a following and all, BUt if the promoter's or cable companies don't get behind him, don't expect Tuaman Vs. Haye anytime soon or Ever. (Good thing for top HW's, Cause Tua can bang)
