Well he almost got knocked out by "prime" Peter who is one of the dumbest fighters in the history of the sport. He got knocked out by Lamon Brewster who could take his punches, and he's going against a gut that has an iron chin, a huge punch, and isn't as dumb as Peter. You tell me. I mean in his supposed "new prime" despite not being in his athletic prime and despite his real prime being when he got knocked out by Sanders, he still got knocked down 3 times by dumb Peter...
Tua was schooled by Rahman whom in turn got whipped on by Maskaev, who is the slowest heavyweight you'll ever see. You tell me.
ok the beatin vitali part is a whole nother topic which im tempted to debate with you on that one lol. but i think vitali beats tua. wlad Idk about him
What I'll tell you is that, your comment has absolutely nothing to do with Tua. Who still got his arse whipped on by Rahman AND Byrd. Both inferior to Wladimir. Tua LOST EVERY TIME HE STEPPED UP, EVERY TIME. And don't tell me Ruiz was a step up, Ruiz was probably even greener than Tua himself when they fought.
'96 or '97 Tua KO's Wlad in the first 5 rounds. However, Wlad (with Steward) beats any other Tua, likely via wide decision.
Not physically. No. Wlad has never looked better physically than he did against Sanders. That was the best version of Wlad. This version of Wlad would be even worse off against that version of Sanders because as I've said countless times, Wlad is incapable of punching on the move and from different angles. He looks like a clown when he attempts to do this. Against Sanders, given his new style, he goes back in a straight line, except this time the fighter can actually reach his face, and gets cornered then knocked out.
