    How do you rate David Tua's chances of picking up a HW Title this time around after his break, & how does he fair against Haye?

    At least the guy steps in the ring in something that resembles a semi decent shape. Which is more then can be said of 3/4 or the heavies out there.

    Who knows if he could get a title at this stage.I haven't seen enough to say but he's getting up there in years.With his power anything is possible..He ko's peter i think.Haye is a good cruiserweight,Obvioulsy needs more fights at heavy..I like a focused tua by knockout

    I think it will be hard for Tua to become a belt holder these days, but I give him a fair chance of knocking Haye the **** out, at least.

    Haye´s whiskers aren´t great if I may say so, and his defence needs lots of improvement if he wishes to hack it in the HW division.

    I doubt that Haye´s skills are enough to save him an entire fight versus Tua.
    Haye´s "incredible" power shouldn´t bother Tua that much.

    I'd be surprised if Haye ever wants to be within a 50-mile radius of Tua's left hook, never mind in the ring with it.

    LAWL, Tua would owns Haye face.. Honestly, even if it takes him 8 rounds to land one left hook, the fights over..

    Also, if he ate **** from Lennox for 12 rounds, he will have no trouble whatsoever shrugging off Hayes bombs..

    Tua starches the glass-jawed Haye early, VERY early.

    tua couldnt beat wlad or valuev (who i hope and pray beats ruiz). but he could beat peter who stands right there, trades, and can be seriously hurt.

    prime for prime, he stops haye brutally. now i dont know if he's fast enough but all it would take is 1 left hook.

    A fighter that posses that type of natural power will always have a good chance in todays lethargic division. Also, I would pay good money to see Tua connect a monstrous left hook on Wladdy's chin. :yep

    With his power and chin he has a decent chance. Haye would dominate Tua with his speed for about 8 rounds and then get layed out by a left-hook.

    Tua is 35, which isn't absolutely ancient for a Heavy.

    Doesn't matter if it's the 90's. Power is the last weapon in a naturally strong fighter's arsenal. It takes just one shot, one opportunity in todays division.

    Oh, and your moms gave me a 'blow out'. :D

    Tua's left hook would decapitate Haye.
    And they'd have to send a search party out
    further than 50 miles to find his silly little
    baked bean of a head.
