Here is the question, of the 10 fellow current Heavyweight boxers in the poll, which ones do you give David Tua a 55% or higher chance of beating? This applies for 2010-2011 and is providing Tua stays under 240lbs. (Although I know he should be a lot lighter than he is.) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yunFNj2htUc[/ame] I can't find any footage of the Friday fight yet.
if tua connects his left hook on wlads shaky chin, its over. but thats a BIG if though if tua can get passed wlads jab, which i think he could as i think wlads jab is grossly overrated. i can definitely see tua putting povetkin on ***** street no question about it.
Chagaev, that's it, and only because Chagaev has looked like crap since contracting Hepatitis. On second thought, he might be able to beat Boytsov, because Boytsov can be lured into a brawl and his chin hasn't been tested.
I'd like to see him in there with Haye, probably one of the best heavyweight matchups out there actually
none (well I don't know enough about Boytzov, but if he is a legit contender I wouldn't think Tua is a favorite)
He would defeat : Chagaev, Boystov, Adamek, Arreola, He has a good chance vs Haye, Waldimir, Povetkin, Chambers He wouldn't beat Vitali and Solis Tua against anyone of this guys would be an highly anticipated fight.
Boytsov's too unproven imo. Tua still carries concussive power and I doubt Boytsov could stand up to it. I also doubt he'd have the craft to go into survival mode and run out the clock. Adamek's too small/defensively challenged for me to favor him. He could try to box, but Tua would catch up to him eventually. Arreola would slug with him and get his ass dropped.
With Tua you have to give him a chance with evryone but not much from anyone. I find it hard to predict the outcomes of his fights.
arreola would be seriously koed by tua. he's to lazy on defense and would be over welemed by tua's power and strength. i would say he beats all but haye and wald. wald would jab his way to a boring no risk u.d. and with haye it could go either way because haye has the speed and power to hurt tua even though it aint been done before. but he gets caught to often an with that bad chin it could be lights out at any time.
