    I wouldnt say Tua has no chance. Is Tua better than Sam Peter even at this stage in his career? Hes lower to the ground and probably has better power. How many times did Peter have Wlad on ***** street? You cant discount the great equalizer. He has a chance and I would say a better chance against Wlad who is less mobile than his older brother.

    Indeed, boxrec rank Arreola at #12, but they use a crappy points system for their automated rankings.

    In that case to answer you question I think Tua/Arreola is probably a toss up. I think Arreola's durability and high volume punching could present problems for him, especially now.

    Someone needs to make an animation of the Vitali Skip from the Arreola fight. Ali's shuffle don't have **** on it.

    They are both very durable, I think at 230-235lbs Arreola's volume of punching was a great deal higher than when he's obese, so if he came in at about that weight then i'd expect him to decision Tua.
    However if Arreola came in at around 250lbs then i'd favour Tua to stop him late.

    Just watch Tua vs. Lennox Lewis.
    He sucked.
    And that was several years ago.
    And today he is a hell of alot worse.
    He is done.
    No longer contender material.
