If Vitali fought as he did tonight,left jab

Let me ask you this, what decade did Tua KO Ruiz?

What decade are we in now?

What decade would a Vitali-Tua bout take place in if they fought each other next fight?


Hint: they are 3 different DECADES:deal

 

True, but the last thing a fighter loses if their power and strength. Ask George Foreman. And 4 of Tua's last 5 fights have ended in stoppages, the only one that didn't was against the tough journeyman Robert Hawkins, and 3 of those 4 in clean KO's.

 

Vitali has shown that power isnt something that bothers him. There isnt any argument that Vitali has been fighting at a level far beyond Tua of today.

Does Tua have the speed and reflexes to deliver multiple clean power shots? Vitali has shown that 1 monster shot hasnt even dropped him let alone KO him.

Can Tua absorb the punishment needed to wait until he can land his shots?

We seen Vitali's stamina last night, Tua cant bet on wearing him down that is for sure. We have also seen how elusive Vitali can be defensively.

How on earth do you think shot Tua is going to be able to land multiple flush shots on Vitali to take him out of there?


Foreman regained his championship because Moorer was a dumbass and stood infront of him. Vitali doesnt do that and Vitali has the power to hurt Tua unlike Moorer against Foreman.

 

I'm not argueing that Tua KO's Vitali, I think that's pretty ridiculous at this point. I'm just pointing out that Tua can still bang. He just can't put the rest of his game together to beat either Klitschko. Although I will argue with you on that last point. Tua has a better chin than both Peter and Arreola, and Vitali hit them both with plenty of solid shots, especially Peter, and never hurt either one of them. I think his power is over-rated, he has to put on a sustained beating to get the stoppage.

 

Back in 1996 in which that was a prime younger better Tua who was a beast.


We are in 2009. I see where you getting at. If you read my post, i said Tua right now will easily lose to Vitali. I've said if Arreola shockinly tko Vitali, i want to see Arreola vs Tua cause if theres one fighter that Tua can beat right now for the heavyweight championship it's Arreola cause style wise i see Tua ko Arreola.

 

Vitali looked really good tonight. I know that other guys want to be champions. They better look toward Botha or Valuev. Two beatable champions. Of course Chris didn't do that bad. I had him winning two rounds and even on another. But he just quit punching in the last few rounds. I felt he landed more punches than the punch stats gave him credit for and the nose just was bleeding terribly and wouldn't quit. Chris has a huge heart. Bigger than Mexico IMO.
Hopefully this will make Chris an even more dedicated fighter. One that will be even harder and weigh in less than 250 in his remaining bouts and show up more improved.

 

Oh, my bad, there were a few others saying that Tua would beat Vitali if they fought tomorrow

 

I once saw Ali...look as awkward as all ****, as he ran and stumbled against the ropes getting away from old man patterson in the 3-4th round of the second fight.
I'd never seen Ali look so awkward....
Odd no one ever brings up Awkward Ali.

Since when has Vittil been Willie Pep?

So predicatable that Chriss who'd studied his tapes could do nothing.

You saw that...I saw the best movement I've ever seen from him...

When you hate your blindness and prejudice allows you to see what you thought you saw.

Wasn't it the biggest robbery you ever saw...Chris up all those rounds and the ref and the guys bought and paid for in his very own corner, throwing inthe towel like that.

That is what you saw....right?
