Tua has blown hot and col a LOT over his career and has kinda missed the mark when it really mattered, but people do seem to let this overshadow the fact that when he was on form he really was actually a very good fighter. Not in the terms of beautiful foot movement and finesse but his fights with people like Ibeabuchi show what he's made of. Tua came into the Lewis fight with a whole world of personal troubles which had knock-on effects to his training. Against this arguably prime Lewis he still won a couple of rounds (i think?), so by logic i'd image he'd do a little better against Wlad (whom i rate lower than Lewis, and would probably box VERY defensively given Tuas power). Wlad more than likely wins on points but Tua stopping him isn't out of the question.
Wlad UD much the same way Lewis beat him, the one punch Wlad was missing from his arsonary was the uppercut and he added that weapon against Peter, it would be key against Tua.
Wlad UD, or maybe even a late TKO. I don't think Tua has alot more power than Peter. Also he's about potentially 3 to 4 inches shorter, and comparable to speed and mobility to Sam. Easy defence for Wlad...
Lol...what the **** has Tua ever done to even be compared with Wlad? I'm not a K2 nut hugger, but Tue (any version) is a fringe contender who never amounted to ****, no disrespect. If Tua was serious about being a champion he would have got into Pro Wrestling like the other Samoans, dumb move on his end. Either way either brother beat the dog **** out of Tazz...I mean Tua.
Yeah Tua was just a victum of circumstance, hoo ****ing hoo, dude is ****ing trash point blank. I swear to God, this infatuation with David "I've never pissed a drop in my MF'n life" Tua, blows my mind. Dude has NEVER done **** to merrit being mentioned on this board aside from, "You remember when Lewis beat the **** out of Tua"...
what has wlad done to be so untouchable? oh yes he got knocked down like 15 times against bums.. wouldn't bet on wlad, not with that weak chin of his and his numerous panic attacks
Wladimir, Golota, Krasniqi and Meehan are all more solid wins than Tuas win over the green wannabe ODLH Ruiz.
However significant/insignificant you choose to view Wlad's achievements in boxing, they are gigantic relative to Tua's. I've never said Wlad or Vitali are "untouchable" or that they are ATG's etc, never, but I'm also not going to sit here and compare them with journeyman, "never was", fringe contenders, who never accomplished **** in the sport. Just to clarify, I don't "hate" Tua, and I don't "love" K2, but either brother has earned better than to be questioned in fantasy bouts with David Tua...smh.
