He says he is going to do exactly that more often now. "Brutal" was the word he used. We wait and see if he means it. He has to be fitter for a start. He was "tentative" with Lewis - but again - all he has to do is reach Wlad once with a decent crack and it is all on. Tua will absolutely pound the guy if he wobbles him. Don't tell me there is "no chance" of this happening. There is a chance - and you know it.
the only rationale for your argument is that tua couldn't put barrett away when he had him in trouble...so OBVIOUSLY he COULD put the best hw in the world away if he somehow managed to get him into trouble...which he wouldn't be able to do in the first place. if tua & wlad signed to fight next week; yes; i would give tua "no chance" of winning. zero chance.
Look here. Tua is right now a shot fighter thats easily for sure. But he still have a pop left if it connects clean. I dont think tua has a chance in hell vs either brothers thats for sure cause like I said tua is a shot fighter. I think tua would have tko wlad if it was a younger under 230 pound version of him.
imo; the wlad fighting now would beat any version of tua. but i would give an absolutely prime tua a punchers chance. the current tua; not even a punchers chance. he has no chance.
No he wouldn't he couldnt even land a power shot on Lennox back in the day and Wlad would be even more defensive, Haye couldnt land a shot on Wlad ffs and haye is faster, longer reach and more awkward than Tua, who can only land if an opponent circles into his left hook.
Lewis fought a 245 pounds fat tua. Tua that was younger in the in the 95,96 under 230 pounds would have ko wlad. Haye was scared of taking a chance in which a younger under 230 pound tua wouldnt be scared at all.
he doesn't even have power ! barrett was ko'd in 2 rounds by cliff couser amongst other people the guy had no chin tua couldn't do **** with him he's one of the most over rated bull**** artist ever
yeah really tua must not be over 230 he must beable to throw low and hit after the bell his opponet can't be over 6'2 tall they have to be in there mid 30s have to have a history of being ko'd tua must have the best management his mom can't yell at him if all this stuff doesn't happen? then it don't count!!! but look at the power!!!
Tua is so shotttt/ he should retire/ he would get really hurt by wlad or helinuis.....his conditioning was pathetic
It was a prety competitive fight. Byrd didn't run but instead boxed within punching distance of Tua the whole night... and Tua did manage to get some heavy shots through. A great contrast of styles that fight was.
