    Indeed, I had Barrett clearly ahead on points even before the knockdown.

    Shameful robbery. :verysad

    Tua shouldn't risk this one if he's number 2 ranked for wbo. He's gonna have a hard time dealing with Barret come December. Not unless the injury he was fighting with was legit....

    Dont get me wrong, I would deff watch it.

    But the initial thought of it makes me cringe. Then again, you never know when a good fight will come out of nowhere in boxing.

    Tua could not even KO old Barrett he isn't going to KO Hoyfield. Holyfield by UD.

    Holyfield is shot.

    Tua is fading and fading fast. He's not completely shot yet but there is the problem that he can be made to look silly if someone decides to outbox him (like Barrett) instead of slugging with him (like Cameron).

    Holyfield can't really box or slug anymore. Tua's power is still there but his reflexes are virtually gone (something he seldom relied on anyway). Tua would get a decision in this match.

    You think Tua's fallen so far that even a, what 48 yo Holyfield at that point, would win?

    If Holyfield is stupid enough to fight Tua, he deserves every bit of brain damage that comes with it

    Tua sucks. He has not won a meaningful fight in years. He looked atrocious against Barrett who is so shopworn and shot it is sad. This isn't 1999 anymore.

    I mean I agree, Tua isn't close to what he used to be.

    But in comparison, Holyfield isn't even a shadow of what he was.

    This is the battle of who's more shot. And I think everyone can agree Holyfield who was on a different level to Tua prime for prime, is also on a different level from Tua, being that Holy has nothing left.
