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

Hold up man, I simply stopped reading after that. If you believe a tubby 137 lbs is tip top shape for Tua then I can't even take the rest of what you say seriously. With your kind of logic I'd suppose if Tyson comes back at 237 lbs and beats the **** out of some complete bum you'd be saying he's in prime form as well. :nut

 

Douglas of that night would have beat the **** out of Tua.

 

Moorer beat Holyfeld. Moorer would KOed whatever bum Tua fought just the same and would have schooled Tua as well.

 

Tua was never really the same guy after the Ibeabuchi fight. Ibeabuchi fell apart completely both inside and outside the ring but Tua's decline in the ring is also visible.

 

I didnt really think Moorer or Ruiz especially were rated that high though

 

I agree Tua do not have a chance against Klitschkos, and he may be overrated after his win over Cameron.

The bottom line is that one does not need to beat any Klitschko to become a titleholder, especially with Vitali retiring soon and vacating another belt. Do you really think Tua is much worse than Maskaev or Briggs?

 

You're aware Moorer has faced Tua already right?

You think that Moorers chin was that much better a few years earlier? Moorer at any stage of his career was a sitting duck for a Tua type fighter.

 

agree with you , except tua can't KO wlad , wlad's chin not reachable for tua , agianst valuev it will go the distance , not sure which way , boring fight.

 

Tua has only been fight nobodies lately, I doubt it. Wlad would fight him similar to how Lewis did. Same old Tua left hook left hook against same trainer Manny Stewart. As far as Haye he has to step up first in order to be considered a HW. Valuev would be interesting.

 

Prime Tua is NOT back, how is that prime Tua? :huh

Any version of Tua, prime or not, loses to either Klitschkos in my opinion. A fight with Vitali would be more exciting with some awesome exchanges.

 

IMO there are 2 HWs out there Tua has very little chance to beat today, both are named Klitschko, all the others will end up splitting the odds or even less against Tua.

It's a shame Tua's career was somewhat unfortunate. Bad management and bad luck prevented him from having fights with Tyson, Bowe, Holy, just to name a few.

Still, I would very much like to watch Tua fight against Meehan, Peter, Arreola, Ruiz, names that make sense for his career.

 

Moorer was ko in the 1st round by Tua you knucklehead lol. Yes Moorer was past his prime but so was Tua. Imagine prime vs prime? Tua ko Moorer but in the 4th or 5th round.

 

I disagree. Tua wasn't the same ever since he weigh in at the 240's, 250's.
