Prime Tua is back.....But...

i heard people say tua wuld beat tyson i disagree tua is like a worse version of tyson
who do u think wuld win

 

Tua has it in him to KO someone like Haye or Chambers. But he's not beating the Klitschkos unless he lands a few bombs and follows it up on Wladimir.
Even then Wladimir has good survival skills now with Emanuel Steward as his trainer.

 

Why is everyone obsessing over this fat overrated slob? He will never win a world title from now until he retires. He will NOT beat any klit.

 

He beat Shane Cameron.....keep it in your pants.

 

At the end of the day neither of the brothers brings to the ring what Lennox did. Yeah you've got a guy that can box and use his natural physical advantages to great effect in Wlad, but he doesn't have the jaw Lennox had, and just plain isn't as comfortable with shots coming at him.
In Vitali you've got a guy that can bang and definately take a shot, but isn't as naturally fluid as Lewis was.
While either of the brothers pose a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to Tua, it's not because of the ways they are like Lennox, but the way they are like themselves.
Anyway everyone seems to say that Lennox laid the bluepriont to beat Tua, not true. He only showed the way to beat THAT Tua, who if you're familiar with you'll realise turned in one of the poorest performances of his career.
There are a lot of good fights for Tua out there right now. Plenty of good matchups he can win, plenty of overhyped preteders waiting to be exposed, and 2 genuinely great brothers that stand between him and his goal.
Before the Klit huggers get going - I'm not sayng Tua's coming to knock out the Klits or that it's likely - I just want him to and feel that if he's on his game he's a handful for anyone out there.

 

true BUT he's one of the great "what ifs" in boxing, along with rival ibeabuchi. a prime tua, the one who shows up only sporadically now, has an all time chin, all time left hook, tremendous late round ko boxing and solid skills.

However he has kryptonite: the jab.

Anyone with a jab ALWAYS stand a chance against tua. Just like he has a punchers chance, anyone with a jab has a jabbers chance. He's easy to outbox for long periods of time. This has always been his weakness.

The fight with Ibeabuchi may have been an anamoly as he threw a ton of punches, used sustained pressure and had punch variety. Personally, I see this tua as being at least in competition with any heavyweight of the last 20 years.

Problem is he only showed up once

 

His awesome power and granite chin has made him a contender for years, but these two attributes alone have not and never will propel him to the top. He simply doesn't have the other tools necessary to become champion. Very entertaining fighter to watch though.

 

Tua v Arreola would be more appropriate.

 

tua has eatin too much spam 4 his own good

 

Personally, I think he could beat Monte Barrett and Valuev ... so he's good enough to be a world champ.
