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

Prime Tua is back? .

 

Really? How would you know that he's more elusive? It may just seem that way, lets be honest Vitali (through no fault of his own) hasn't faced the competition that Lewis did.
Anyway my point was kind of that neither of the brothers are Lennox, and comparisons between them should really end somewhere shortly after you talk about their stature.

 

It's to soon to call Tua the savior of this division.

 

Problem with Tyson is. . .that, in his last two outings, the completes bums he was supposed to destroy ended up humiliating him.

 

I would give Dougles (that fought Tyson) a good chance to beat Tua but Dougles wouldn't beat the **** out of Tua cause unlike Tyson, Tua wouldn't not be lazy to train for a fight. Tua would be very focused for that fight.

 

If Tua can keep up his activity, motivation and drive, then he's a nasty opponent for the majority of the HW division; imo he'd mop up the likes of Arreola, Peters, Haye etc, and only be the severe underdog against the likes of the klits, valuev etc.

His granite chin and monstrous power make him a real threat to almost anyone.

If he works his way up the WBA rankings and faces Haye (should he beat the giant) then I think he'll end up nabbing at least the WBA belt.

 

The fact remains that the best of Tua will always be spectacular KOs against B-Class opposition

 

Tua is competitive against anyone except Klit right now. Let's see him fight a top ten guy and see how he does. If he ko's them, he's back, and has a good chance against a Klit, especially Wlad.

 

You mean like the Klit sisters ?

 

Camron was ranked #6 by WBO and #14 by IBF

 

Moorer would have schooled Tua like this?

Actually Tua looked pretty fast vs Moorer there, better than vs Cameron IMO, vs Shane he was only fast when he was throwing short punches from in close. He needs to be able to be fast from range not just in close, otherwise he'll get outboxed even easier than usual.
Tua definitely needs to bring whatever he has vs a top 10 guy, still not convinced he wont go off the boil again soon.

 

exactly, we have to see the tuaman truly tested before we speak.

 

What ever. Tua KO's everyone in the division bar anyone too wiley and fast moving like chambers, and anyone too elusive and too scared to trade like Wlad. Even then it's even money. Versus Vitali it would start out looking like the lewis fight and end up a war with Tua the victor once Vitali is gased and Tua has worked the body. Tua by KO with anyone in the Heavyweight division.

 

Tua has not proven himself yet.
