    The best version of Tua beats the best version of Wilder that we have seen. And I think you know how it would end.

    I think wilder finds a way to win this one. Tua is very over rated on this board

    Yup. Tua annihilates that glass jawed fraud. Similar to what he did to Ruiz.

    As soon as he gets a opening tua crack s the left in and wilder s hitting the floor. Early doors this one

    I see this one playing out like the Lewis fight.

    Deontay uses his jab and reach to keep Tuas hook off of him. And succeeds in using his right to do some damage and win the rounds.

    Alot of movement and length can be a major advantage over Tua who was somewhat just a walk forward guy trying to pin you on the ropes. On the other foot you have wilder who can be walked down with durable guys as Stiverne and spzilka showed? but does the 5'10 tua have enough to make up that LENGTH.everyone forgets this factor and looks at other match ups. I beleive Wilder is just awkward and fast to keep his distance and out point Tua for a win. CURRENT wilder over Tua in a walk on egg shells fight.

    Yeah I don't think Tua could make up the length.
    He would get discouraged and tame by a guy like Wilder.

    tua by early destruction is one of the obvious ways for this to play out. but that doesn't mean the other options are similar.

    I think the next BIg fights Wilder EVENTUALLY gets into will tell alot. though again you have to look at distance and style when doing these matches.Wilder is a big boy,i spar with someone on occasionwho he crushed a few years ago ,i can tell you the guy hits hard personally because im around guys who have fought him. it would definalty be fuight though from what ive seen Wilder wouldnt want to get hit if he runs into a Tua left hook. but we are in agreement on this one.

    Tua eats what ever Wilder manages to hit him with. Then nearly decapitates him by the 4th round

    I think this is a possible scenario,but I don't see Wilder as being as strong as Lewis,nor as capable inside.Wilder is essentially a long puncher,once you are inside his optimum range his effectiveness is limited and he doesn't have the weight of Lewis to bull his opponent back.If Tua is of a mind to take a few shots to get inside and begin unloading his power he can win this fight, but he could not go in there with the mindset that quickly took over his fight plan against Lenny.

    That's an understatement but at this moment I would pick him to beat Wilder.
