    Alrighty I usually don't throw Tua's name into the hat these days because the term "Overrated" gets slung around like crazy. I'm placing him in a match-up with maybe a B level fighter (if you wanna be that nice to him) So this shouldn't cause such an uproar

    Moving on.

    Tua has the better chin of the two but Sam Peter has clubbing power and both hands, Tua was a sucker for anyone with a decent jab (which to my knowledge Sam Peter doesn't posses, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) So I think he'd have no problem getting to the inside against Peter and scoring a KO

    Fun fight for about 5 rounds maybe.

    Let's discuss :bbb

    Very good fight on paper. Bring the popcorn to this one. A draw although Tua has better resume and ranks higher on my list of HW. Tua might out work Peter late for the UD win. Good fight.

    Mismatch. Tua would have destroyed that bum.

    If Peter came in with the same gameplan as the second Toney fight, he'd win a decision. That's how easy it was to take rounds off Tua.

    Peter had a functional jab. It took many blows from the Klitschko's to stop Peter.

    Tua was a horrible boxer and did not hit any harder than Wlad.

    I see Peter via UD here.

    If Peter decides to box then he has a chance of winning it on the cards. If he starts trading with Tua blow for blow, then I'd have to pick David to outlast him.
