David Tua did a lot better than Vitali against lennox

Not really - he was at his peak.

For Klitschko, he was supposed to be facing Kirk Johnson FFS - therefore took his foot off the gas and later took Vitali at short notice.

Had the fight been announced at a more appropriate time, you would have seen a 245lb Lennox Lewis, rather than a near 260lb version.

Klitschko did better than Tua, against a faded version.

IMO he would do better full stop.

 

The real question here is whether Vitali would beat Tua, and that's a definete YES.

 

one right hand opened that cut.... if it never landed things could have been very different... I don't see how you think Tua did better, all he did is receive a boxing lesson from lennox where as Vitali was beating him, and almost had him knocked out at one point.

 

Tuaman was a slob at 256 against Lewis in back 2000....... That fight sucked hotdog all the way down to the golf balls..... That was a heavyweight PPV fight that also bombed...... Lewis was a master BOXER on that night...... Tua was clueless........

MR.BILL:rofl

 

Exactly.
Tua was there to go the distance and lost every round.
He couldnt hit Lewis.
Vitali would have stopped Lewis if it wasnt for the cut.

 

His granite chin helped him alot

 

True.

 

What opened all the other cuts?

 

Tua is one of my very few favorite HW fighters. But this thread fails.

 

Fact: We don't know what would have happened if the cut didn't occur.

Fact: David Tua is not underrated.. he is OVER-rated by a lot of people.

Fact: David Tua is a lazy fighter, who pissed away any talent he had but inactivity or lack of want.

 

Tua did do a better job. He went the distance against PRIME Lewis and wasn't winded.

Old, fat Lewis mad Vitali's face look like ground round...

 

this thread is a sham and the klit haters are losing their ****

Tua was pathetic against Lennox....Don't take my word for it, just listen to the fans boo the **** out of him during and after the fight. His own corner knew he had given in. Then, listen to all the fans cheering like hell for Vitali after the Lennox fight. That's all u need to know who put on a better performance.

And Tua is overrated but was a good fighter for a few years. Bruno and and especially Ike are even more overrated.

 

It's all relative to the Lewis they faced.

That one that faced Klit was old and washed up. He looked like Kirk Johnson...

 

the thread didn't address that issue though. The statement was Tua performed better against Lennox which is utter bull****.

Tua was awful and it was clear Lewis intimidated him early after landing his power. Vitali wasn't intimidated at all and laid it on the line every round.
