    I would say Tua is one one the hardest punchers.

    Off Topic: Tua's left hook would KO Wladdy for sure. :yep

    He wasn't anywhere near the overall fighter Tyson was, but he was definitely one of the hardest hitters of all time. More pure power than Tyson I'd say. Up there with Shavers and Foreman.

    But if Tua did get inside, it's goodnight, Wladdy.

    Wlad got dropped and rocked by partially blocked punches from Peter and got rocked by a Brewster jab, I think it's pretty safe to say that Wlad would be spending more time on the canvas than picaso's paint brush, if Tua managed to get inside on him.

    In terms of pure power, Tua is probably top 5 and definently top 10.
