    One heavyweight whose power I would never want to feel is David Tua. Particularly with the left hook. After watching him destroy Ruiz, Moorer, and Obed Sullivan I would never want to feel that power. I'd rather take a shot from even Tyson than Tua.
    Who would you never in your life unless there was a gun to your head not want to take a punch from?

    Tua would be amazing in a bar room brawl.

    ... Well i wouldn't want to take a punch from any heavyweight, but Wlad in particular, he could probably cause long term damage to people that aint heavyweight boxers

    None of them.

    Nobody, in fact above lightweight.

    Wlad. He could damage you badly with a right.

    No you wouldn't man, his jab is very stiff and a HW's jab is like a MW full powershot. I don't know if you've ever been punched by a real fighter, but it's strong and this guy weighs 220+...

    And my response to this thread is that I'd hate to be hit by any competent HW, I only weigh about 170.

    Earlier tonight I watched Moorer's brawl with Bert Cooper, and Cooper for all his problems could always hit like a mule. Moorer got up twice from Cooper's punches. Then I watched Tua vs Moorer, it was goodnight Moorer in about 30 seconds!

    Being hit by a HW is not good for your health, I guarantee that.

    Tua, Virchis, Peter, Wlad, Briggs, Mccall, are some of the guys that could produce the most damage.

    With my Chin, only Tyson would bother me. My poor diet, lack of reasonable exercise and inflated ego would mean only Iron mike in 88 would bother me.
