    Not interested in any Tua fight at this point, period.

    Minto would have been an awesome pick. He definitely could have walked through Minto's shots and got the KO.

    Either way, hes retired now.

    I also want to know if TUA legendary chin can take those punches?

    Any scenario will be a first.

    Wilder W KO = First time TUA gets KOed
    Wilder W Dec= First time Wilder wins by decision
    TUA W = Wilder first Loss + Title shot

    Wilder vs Ustinov is a more interesting fight.

    Good fight for Ustinov, but it serves Wilder nothing from an ATG pov. If Wilder Stops TUA his power becomes a bigger factor than it is already.

    Wilder will be scrutinized for not fighting the top 5 regardless of who he fights, so he might as well take a legacy fight.

    We know he can punch, but can he punch as hard as Shavers, Forman, Tua & Tyson?

    What better way to findout than test him vs Tua. Tua retirement is irrelevant if GPB wants this fight, he will be in L.A. to sign because all Punchers believe all they need is to tap Wilders chin, exaggerated to comical levels thanks to doubters in the forums :good

    Tua would have lost to ANY top 20/30 opponent. No matter if he's tall or not. Do you really think he would have done better againt a slick Kevin Johnson type of fighter?
    Sure he could beat Minto etc. But only because they are clubfighters and not because they are small HWs.

    It still stands that this was a stupid move by team tua.

    Minto, Charr, Browne, Szpilka,

    All guys who probably would have tried to use the Tua name at this point for an opponent, all those fights would have been funner, and more winnable fights in certain aspects then was his opponent.

    And of course being a small heavy or a big heavy plays into it when discussing Tua.

    I read Deontays people are looking to fight Lamon Brewster.

    The wind of one of Tua's left hooks would comatose Deontay.

    Almost 4 years since Brewster's last fight which he lost, would be about right for Wilder and his people.
