    I think he has a lot of potential. But he plods along. Needs to be more fluid, and let his hands go. He does have that straight up and down, 1+2 style like Wlad, though.

    We should remember that Tua is what, 5-9? That's almost a foot shorter than Wlad!

    I think thats a case of Super HW vs. a HW and why we need another weight class for the giants.

    The height is a problem vs Wlad. But Tua had his chances against LL, who's about the same height as Klit. He just needs to learn how to get inside a jab for that fight. Then he has the advantage if Klit doesn't repeatedly tie him up. If he comes to fight like Frazier, Klit will have a hard time keeping Tua off him. No one has really fought Klit by swarming him relentlessly, and that's what it'll take to beat him. Klit beats any boxer who boxes with him...

    Fight is in a good rivlry but does nothing for Tua if he KO's him real surprise he has power

    if he goes the distance Rahman was past it

    if Rahman wins Tua is past it

    Tua vs Areolla or Chambers or Adamke would tell us alot about wats left

    They definitely need a SHW div IMO, cut off around 220-230lbs. Tua is a freak in his proportions (though a typical Samoan) but he and many other quality HWs are heavier than they need to be or is natural, the trick is leaving enough talent in the heaviest division without it being full of fat bums + the Klitschkos and 1 or 2 others.

    Tua has much shorter reach than Tyson and hes shorter, its basically dam near physically impossible for him to chin an upright 6'7 Vitali Klit who often leans back also
