    And that was a faded Thomas ,Jupp!
    Thomas would take the best shots from Tua ,he wouldn't be getting caught like Ruiz .
    He had a very good Chin on him and a great jab ,shame it ended the way it did.

    Honestly if they fought I'd be very surprised if tua didnt win. Tua was a much superior fighter

    How many real top notch wins did Pinky have in his career besides Tim and Hercules?

    Thomas by close decision. He has that jab and the movement.

    Tua in his prime I think would have some moments against a prime Thomas. Overall though I think Thomas's jab would carry the fight. Thomas was only briefly good enough to handle Tua though he slowed down rapidly late in his career and could've become a knockout victim of Tua's much like what happened when he went against Morrison while being washed up.

    I'd be cheering for Tua, but he'd have a rough night against the best of Thomas. Not that I don't think the Tuaman would get a few of his shots in, but he'd have to work mighty hard to do so.

    Thomas could win without throwing a right hand.

    Pinky was an excellent boxer with a great jab and movement decent chin too. I think he wins on points like a matador and a bull . Would have to tread very carefully though
