Tua or Solis? :rofl, based on what?, has Tua KO'd anyone worth mentioning lately? Johnson had the ability to take his punches, simple as that. Vitali rocked/hurt Lewis and many others, power is definitely there. Johnson was able to take punches because he didn't do much punching anyway so he wasn't THAT tired. He only landed a few times and didn't show any interest to throw or land more. You can't have a KO ratio like that if you have zero power. Tua would be outclassed, spanked and TKO'd in the corner or even in the ring, Samuel Peter style. When Solis stops showing up like a walking Burger King sponsor then I'll take him seriously.
**** David Tua he had his moment in the light nine years ago and didn't take advantage of it then and hasn't fought anyone that wasn't exhumed from the graveyard since then.
VK has power but he is much more of an accumilation puncher that a one punch KO artist like Tua. johnson was annoyingly elusive, he rarely took mnore than one clean punch, reason for that is he wasnt committed to winning and only concentrated on not getting knocked out.
tyson had the shortest reach of every fight he ever had...and that didnt stop him from knocking out 85 % of his opponents
Vitali is old, he cannot put the zip in his punches anymore like he used to when he was young. So he has to throw arm punches to preserve energy for the later rounds.
Oh come on guys; he was banging him all night and did ZERO damage; it looks like the power is gone. Tua has even better chin and crazy power. i thought Wlad would be a better match for david but now I changed my mind
Pah! Tua barely managed to beat Hawkins in one of his last fight. The same Hawkins who had been brutally knocked out by Virchis in his previous fight. Solis?? A very gifted talent,but I strongly recommend you to watch Solis vs Long! Ustinov,who fought on today's undercard,wiped the floor with Long.The same Long who went the full route with Solis and made the water hot for him. Johnson,the clownish showboater,was very flippy and hard to hit,but he was in survival mode from round 1 on.He didnt even give it a serious try. Even Timo Hoffman,the other guy who went 12 long rounds with Vitaly,showed a better performance than that disgrace of boxing Johnson.
