    David Tua was a great KO artist. I don't know what the heck is going on right now with him or in what kind of shape he is, but who do you think would've won, Wladimir/Vitali vs. David Tua?

    Vitali would have stopped Tua with his reach and punch output coupled with his solid chin.

    Wlad has the tools to easily outbox Tua but also has the chin to be stopped by 1 punch from Tua

    I'd envision the same thing happening when he faced Lennox. He'll be outjabbed and would have a lot of difficulty reaching the brothers.

    Unless he catches Wlad with something nasty and just turns the fight completely on its head. Tua has a history of being outboxed for most of a fight and then BAM he catches you with a nasty shot and its over.

    He was losing fights against Maskaev, Oquendo and Rahman 1 before he caught those guys.

    Tua would have one helluva time trying to punch up at the Klits so the safe pick is both the bro's win wide UD's

    He has no chance vs either. He gets stopped by both. Tua couldn't solve an average jab, he would be demolished by Wlad. Vitali would stopped lured Tua into opening up more, and punished him with countershots... as well as pasting him with his jab as well from the outside, and looping uppercuts.

    Prime Tua vs Prime Tyson is a much better match-up. Although I fear that Tyson's underrated jab would have been the difference in that one as well. However, Tua's durability may have outlasted Tyson. Good fight.

    I see Tua getting underneath the yetty and landing at will on the chin... maybe even stopping him...

    Both Klitschko would have won by TKO over Tua..people say size doesn't matter which is true to some extent and that extent is when you are facing a Klitschko.

    The Tua that fought Ike, i.e. the one that threw LOTS of punches, would have a decent punchers chance against Wlad to score the KO; but I'd still favor Wlad to win by using the old jab and grab.

    Vitali fares better and makes for a much more exciting fight, he probably wins by UD.

    In the end, the Klitschkos are way too tall, and they know how to use the height well. Tua would get hit by too many jabs to win on the scorecards.

    vk would probably stop him in the later rounds

    wk would get a ud but as has alredy been said tua has a punchers chance


    been thinking i now think tua stops wlad in the twelve rounds a prime tua would land at least two good shots and wk is chinny

    Vitali vs David Tua = Vitali would Win by KO or stop the Fight By TKO


    Wladimir vs David TUA = David Tua would Destroy Wladmir By Knockout

    A lot of people seem to think Tua gets stopped?
    I don't see that happening. He's got an iron chin.

    Tua doesn't get stopped by either of the klitschkos, he walks through both of their jabs, he wears down wladimir, and stops him if he connects with one of those left hand bombs. vitali decisions tua in a great fight, a war that sees no knockdowns, but serious bombs landed flush, over and over. I dont know who wins that one. that one is a toss up.
    Tua would be the most formidable opponent wladimir has ever faced, you cant say that about Wladimir. I think Tua smashes Wladimir

    Against Wlad I can see Tua winning maybe by KO, but I don't see him beating Vitali.
