    Vitali does not stop Tua. Tua's chin is too good.

    We've never seen prime Tua vs a Tall man. Let's ot forget that Prime Tua was the guy that threw LOTS of punches. With his good chin it's not inconceivable that prime Tua could actually win slug fest with Viatli. But I think Vitali is too smart for that. He'd stay at range and he has good timing, so I think he wins a decision, but it will be a close one due to Tua's rambuctuiousness.

    I think Vitali stops him. Like Danny Williams said, he is not the biggest one-punch-hitter but his punches don't loose power during the fight. He is heavy handed...

    Lennox Lewis isn't tall to you?

    Tua always fought taller men than himself. It's nothing new for him. His approach would always be the same, he has to get inside. It's the only feasible gameplan for him against anybody.

    Vitali would more than likely win a wide decision. Talk of stoppages is delusion in the extreme. I only ever saw Tua hurt by bodyshots and Vitali hardly threw a body shot in his life. Tua would however be the best win on Vitali's record, which tells you something.

    It tells you that Vitali's resume is ****ing awful for a guy of his ability.

    man he does not stop a prime tua -- no way man. Vitali doesn't have more power than lewis.

    Tua's chin was like one of the best out there. Never saw him hurt ever. And somehow Vitali stops him? The only way that is happening is on cuts or his corner stopping it because he is simply taking too much punches. TUA's chin makes Peters chin look like Micheal Bennett's jaw.

    Tua's main problem was lack of speed and footwork. He was always a very thick set, heavily built guy which is why he could absorb punches. His neck is as thick as an average mans thigh. He was just too plodding in the end to get inside on a regular basis.
