    Maybe Wlad wins dont bet alot of $ on that fine China he called a chin. It's not a good idea unless you enjoy losing your $. He would lose to some punchers.

    I'm not sure if that is sarcasm but it's much more easier said than done, especially when Wlad punches like a mule himself.

    Tua fought a 6’6 steward fighter and got kept on the outside the entire fight and clinched in close. When he tasted the right hand power, he went into retreat most the rest of the fight

    "a stewart fighter " lmao
    Wladimir klitschko was garbage next to lennox lewis and would not last 4 rounds with him, the merit of lennox lewis was lennox lewis not emmanuel stewart

    Wlad proved himself an ATG champion 2005-2015. He reinvented his style, cleaned out the Division in dominant fashion..one of the most dominant ten year stretches in boxing history


    against short fighters with short reaches, Wlad was nearly impossible to defeat. His style was designed to destroy those types


    Tua was hit easily outboxed by fighters who weren’t fit to carry wlads spit bucket.

    Tua has a massive left hook, but it’s not going to land against a 6’6 83” reach fighter who was an expert at long distance, expert at clinching, who had an ATG left jab with an ATG straight right behind it.

    Wlads gone within 6 rounds fighting Tua without his illegal jab and grab tactics.

    Lewis avoided clinching Tua and because he didn't want to be anywhere near the connect range of his left hooks.

    Even in the clinch he knew there was a chance of getting clipped which is why he produced a clinical jabbing performance from range.

    Wlads not a jabber - he's a grabber , so the chances of Tua rocking him is a lot higher than it was with Lewis.

    Mix Wlads mental panic at being touched with the hooks , Tua's body attack in close and you have Brewster I all over again.

    I still would like to know if anyone has any info on as why this fight(s) never happened? Was it Tuas poor performance against Lennox? He continued fighting for awhile after that fight w success. Surprised they never met up

    Dino's Klitschko hatred simply knows no bounds. He really DKSAB. Wlad's primary weapon is the jab and it's a fantastic weapon. A few examples:

    "Once again Wladimir dominated a fight with his jab. He averaged 42 punches thrown per round- 31 of which were jabs. Of his 134 landed punches, 105 were jabs. Haye averaged 24 total punches thrown per round- half the heavyweight average."

    https://www.******scene.com/forums/view.php?pg=klitschko-haye-compubox

    "Did you know? Wladdy shares the heavyweight record for jabs landed in a round, 38 (vs. Hasim Rahman in round three) with his brother Vitali, who also landed 38 jabs in the first round of his win over Ed Mahone.

    It's Wladdy's dependence on that jab and lack of power punching that raises questions. 66% of Wladimir's thrown punches per round are jabs (28.9 of 43.8 per round)- that's 24.5% higher than the CompuBox average of 41.5% (23.1 of 55.6) and #1 on the CompuBox Categorical Leaders list. Also #1: a whopping 60.4% of his landed punches are jabs (8.7 of 11.4)- 32% higher than the CompuBox avg. (4.8 of 16.9) and 14.2% higher than #2 Mikey Garcia at 46.2% (6.7 of 14.5)."

    https://www.******scene.com/anthony-joshua-wladimir-klitschko-compubox-historical-review--116116

    "The jab is the true weapon of Wladimir Klitschko’s dominance. I’m going go out on a limb here and say that the jab of Wladimir Klitschko is the best in boxing since the reign of Larry Holmes, maybe even better. It’s almost a cliche in boxing, the way in which we extol the virtues of the simple lead hand jab. But we do so with good reason. In this fight Wladimir breaks up Hasim Rahman right from the outset, and the jab is the weapon of choice."

    Tua's management problems since 2003 (he was inactive for 2 years and lost his ranking).

    Then the fight was about to be made, when Tua was already past his best. Tua had to beat Monte Barret in a tune-up fight and then the Wlad fight. Never happened as Tua got dropped by Barrett in a fight that ended a draw, and then lost a rematch in New Zeland. Anyway that Tua (2010-2011) wolud have lost to both K-brothers badly, he was shot
