    Juicy match this, not much skill to be seen between either but plenty of raw power and massive differences in dimensions.

    Tua has the chin to handle Wilder's punches, the opposite is not true, Tua KO.

    Hm. I think Tua’s downfall could be that he’s not overly adept at closing the distance he sort of shells up and walks them down. I think that Wilders long right hands would move him and he might be able to get something rough in there. Another part of me thinks that Tua could’ve eventually got close enough to wreck with Deontay and hurt him. I’m not sure good fight though, I’d buy that PPV.

    I commented on this before I think Tua's smaller height is actually an advantage here and he would be able to get under Wilder's right hand and do damage.

    I think Wilder could do well keeping Tua at range though with his decent jab and sniper him at distance like he likes to do.

    If Wilder can get Tua's respect early like Lewis did he could have success but Wilder is not in Lewis's league regarding skills or having his jab.

    I see Tua stopping Wilder but that's just my opinion.

    I picked Tua. Wilder has no real skill. He's tough and is blessed with a hard fast rt hand. That's it he has nothing else IMO. Awful skillset
