Prime for prime, if these two met in the ring, who takes in a battle of these 2 big hitting sluggers? Who you got?
My analysis, I'm gonna go with Tua on this. He may be much shorter than Wilder but that don't mean ****. Unlike Wilder, Tua has a granite chin from hell and actually has some boxing skills. He can bob & weave through Wilder's windmills and land an overhand hook, and lights out for Wilder. Not to mention, Tua has a much better resume than the Bum Squad and mixed it up with Lennox Lewis, Byrd, etc. and knocked out power hitters like Rahman, etc.
It wold be a good one Tua takes Wilders power away with a granite chin but Wilder just has to stick behind the jab like in Stiverne 1.. Tua had trouble against Lewis who was far bigger like Wilder would be but I don't think Wilder is anywhere near as good as Lewis and Tua is far far better than Stiverne so I would imagine Tua catches Wilder sometime late and closes the show.. ..
tua had a granite chin power could be outboxed but wilder isnt the fighter to do it tua by knockout early wilders got power but tua has the more proven power at world level wilder hasnt knocked out a top level fighter the best fighter he fought is the only time he went to points
Maybe it's time we started cherry picking some easier hypothetical dream fights for Wilder, so he could at least be in with a shout of winning some of them.
