Tua-Peter.

This one would be a fun one to watch. I think Peter's too stationary for Tua...Tua would be able to land whatever he wanted and would eventually KO him.

 

At the risk of sounding unpopular (and I like Tua a lot) I don't think he's been facing the competition lately to stand up to even a crude guy like Peter. I'm thinking age has caught up with him.

If Tua were to take some more advanced fights, and performed well, I'd pick him to win.

 

Peter by KO.

I agree with SteveO - the level of comp. has been down for Tua. and up for Peter. Yeah McCline put him down and Yeah Tua hasn't been down that many times - but I see Peter boxing like he did Toney and not getting caught much.

Would be a nice fight to see.

 

I think you are right. I like Tua, but I think going from guys like Montoya and Fox to a guy like Peter is a big jump. Even with his flaws, Peter is likely to be in good shape for this fight, and Tua won't have an easy time reaching him. Of course, Tua still has the power, so he always has a puncher's chance.

 

:huh

 

You DO know Tua has never been on the canvas much less knocked out and you're expecting Sam Peter, who has never knocked out a top 10 fighter ever, to knock out Tua for the first time? PUHLEASE.

 

I agree. Chances like that don't come around often. After watching Brewster's performance against Wlad, I am pretty sure that Tua would have beaten him. Brewster would have been a nice name for Tua to add to his list of victories on the comeback trail.

 

Yep, Tua fought some soft competition while waiting for his shot at LL, and his weight went up while his skills seemed to decrease. Too bad, because he was in his prime then and he's never gotten that back.

 

Tua can take a shot but there's no way Peters's egg chin stands up to Tua's power. He was all but gone against sorry ass McCline for christ sake
