I agree. The Klitschkos don't go for the early knockdown. If it happens, it happens (see Chagaev). Often, they grind their opponents into a quitting TKO by landing many (hard) jabs without getting return fire. The damage accrues over the rounds, eventually resulting in a TKO. The hard-hitting Vitali did not manage to bring down Arreola, and I see Tua with an even better chin.
Waste of time. Same end result as Lewis vs Tua and/or Arreola vs Vitali. Big punchers with no boxing skills will never be able to compete against either K bro. They are technically too sound/powerful/athletic/ring smart and use their size completely to their advantage.
We need to see Tua in a couple of more fights, SOON to see if he's consistant with that kind of perfromance. Maybe take a step up in comp and then draw up a conclusion. I thought it was a tremendous performance from David. But it was agaisnt Cameron. So he should have shined like that. I just didn't think we'd see a busy and destructive tua like he showed. I was excited but David caught Cameron early and David is a strong finisher. Had he not caught Cameron...would David have been that agressive....would he have plodded around the ring chasing his opponent eating jabs and straights like we've seen so many times? The power has always been there...it's his work rate and combination punching that has fell.
Oh, sorry man; did I just step on some Klit **** ? does it hurt ? I dont give a **** about Tua, just wont somebody to knock the **** out of the ring the most booooring fighters in HW history and Tua is the man to do it. Do any of you guys like watching the Klits ? jab, jab, clinch,jab, jab clinch, run away,jab,.....
Nah, Im not a K bro fan particularly. Just recognize their skills and dominance and the lack of for all other heavyweight contenders out there. I would love to see them in a tough fight and potentially lose. Its just that all the talent out there doesnt have the same level of boxing skills/athleticsm to beat them. So seeing Tua destroy another 2 bit kiwi boxer doesnt make me believe that the guy can get a victory against them. He couldnt when he was younger, he certainly cant now that hes older. And its not necessarily that hes older, its just that the guy never had and never will have BOXING SKILLS.
Waldo has evey advantage over Tua. Height, speed, all round better boxer. Tua has a"slight punchers chance. Waldo would not have the amateur background, olympic gold medal or gotten as far as he has if he didn't have a chin. He has never been knocked out period!!
Since when was Fres Oquendo a World Champions :huh And coincidentally... ALL of these so called former World Champions Tua beat are among the worst ever belt holders at Heavyweight and/or are famous for their china chins. So what's exactly the achievement?
Exactly. It begs the question, what has Tua really done aside from having some entertaining KO's and beat very questionable "champions"? At least Wlad and Vitali have not only dominated everyone, but have shown their skills/chin and defended their belts. Tua is just another guy with a punchers chance, just like Rahman. Its so sad when the only competition out there is the kind that can only win by "a punchers chance" instead of being a legit boxing contender.
If Tua were to fight Wladimir, it would not go well for Tua. Wlad is too tall, to quick and too skilled to fall victim to a Tua left hook. Not only that, it would take a series of left hooks to put Wlad down for the ten count, and that's just not going to happen. I like David a lot, and respect him even more, but this is not the fight for him. Now, David Haye vs Tua, that I would love to see.
Lewis has gotten up in the first Mccall fight in which Lewis wanted to continue but the ref wouldn't allow it. Beside Rahman and Mccall, Lewis has fought bigger punchers in Tua, Tyson, Rudduck, Bruno, Golata, Mercer, Mavrovic, Vitali<<<<In which he never was down in which proved he's chin back then was way better then Wlad chin.
You must have missed Oquendo vs Bryd cause Oquendo got screwed big time in that fight. Oquendo clearly beat Bryd in which he should have been the ibf heavyweight champion.
