Sam Langford vs. David Tua

the great sam in his prime i believe would punish tua in a long,great exibition of boxing skill.the glove blocking,feinting,judging of distance is almost a lost art of the past.sam would frustrate and cut tua to peices winning by late ko especially if its over 12 rounds,or a dec..but the powerfull puncher tua was he would always stand a punchers chance to get lucky and catch sam for a ko i say a 65% chance sam wins this one

 

if anyone could pull off this catchweight fight, it would be langford.

 

Langford all the way.

 

Don't think for a second that if the Tua that fought Ike showed up it would not be a huge challange for the much smaller, lighter Langford .... That Tua could go all night, hit like a tank and had an iron chin ... I'll mull this one over ..

 

If Byd could outpoint him I think Langford could but he's got to be carefull....Dave can take you outa there from 1-12

 

very good fight.......i favor sam slightly by close decision but i agree with bummy about tuas remarkable late power. it all depends on if sam decides to employ a more defensive strategy vs a slugfest(which would favor tua) I feel tua is one of the biggest underachievers of this era, he had picked up a alpha belt in the weakest era in heavyweight history despite demolishing 3 future heavyweight champs ruiz, maskaev, rahman. bad luck for david. I also feel tua would have absolutley wrecked wladimir klitschko in under 5 rounds.


but tua vs super southpaw freak of nature corrie sanders? well tua doesnt stand a chance

 

Yeah, but who does?

 

This is the thing about David Tua, not a particularly great fighter and never has been, but he ranks very highly H2H purely because of his power and chin.

I take Langford to box pretty cautiously compared to normal though, and probably hurt Tua on the way to a decision. Though I think Tua would probably drop him along the way.

 

Tua wins.....Langford was a fine fighter but he never faced a fighter with the with the physical attributes that Tua has. Anything can happen but I'd make David the favorite.

 

What makes you conclude this?

 

langford shows tua what a boxer does best and thats box he stays away from the power and wins a UD

 

Only 1 Tua vote?

 

Tua by disgusting KO

 

I think Tua has a very good chance, I'm not absolutely sure but I think I'd make him favourite
