    Who would win a fight prime for prime?

    David Tua has a devistating left hook that could do a lot of damage, but could he elivate that on a prime Bowe?

    Bowe has this way boxing to his style and he did it pretty well. After all, he did beat Evander and even TKO'd him. Evander also had a hell of a chin, just goes to show you how a prime Bowe fights.

    David has an verry great chin, as he has shown in most of his fights, particularly the one v Lewis. Bowe also has a good chin, and you can see at the shots he took from Holyfeild and Golota.

    So lets say the Bowe that beat Holyfield the first time vs the Tua thats TKO'd Rahman.

    Who would win? Would it be by KO?

    The way I see it is that Bowe would box him to a UD win. I kinda see this as the Lewis fight. David has a hard punch, but I don't think he would KO him to the count. Bowe ate some mean shots in the Golota fight, but than again thats Golota and this is Tua. Which doesn't make my opinion change however.

    Anyways I wanna see how you're guy's thoughts are.

    Bowe, by stoppage.

    Bowe takes Tua's best shots and roughs him up like never before.
