Would Tua vs Wilder be a repeat of Tua vs Ruiz?

Hard to finish under 19 seconds (Wilder would take longer).

 

I am not Wilder's biggest fan here, but I would make him favorite over Tua.

His best work was better than Tua's, and he would have a stylistic advantage.

 

And then his critics will turn it around and criticize him for even taking a fight against a guy 8 inches shorter than him.

 

I don’t care who people pick to win this fight but anyone who thinks it’s a mismatch is out of their minds.

 

no. whoever wins it is a completely different fight.

 

I have come down hard on Wilder at times, and I had my reasons.

However I don't question his power for a second.

That is the kind of outlier that you don't see twice in the same generation.

I wouldn't be confident, as the manager of any heavyweight in history, sending them in to test this mans chin!

 

No, Tua would never storm out of his corner and attack Wilder, he'd be cautious and wisely so.

 

Probably not. Ruiz and Moorer were the only quality heavyweights Tua blasted out early. Funny enough I was just watching this KO the other day, possibly the most savage KO ever?

 

He'd have trouble landing that right hand consistently vs a fighter alot shorter than him though, his long straight right hand isn't the best weapon vs the much shorter opponent. And unlike Lewis who had a more varied offensive arsenal like a good uppercut for example which was a good weapon for Lewis vs shorter opponent, Wilder doesn't have all those offensive capabilities nor does he have Lewis's ATG jab.

 

Not a chance, Wilder would be way more dangerous and last longer imo. I actually think Tua is a terrible match up for him and I see him stopping Wilder but it wouldn’t easy/a certainty. Wilder’s power is no joke and he has 0 quit in him.

 

Duly noted, but my prediction stands.

 

Despite his flaws Wilder shown he has championship heart and would not be blown out early .

 

I honestly think that Wilder might just stop Tua, where Ike and Lewis failed.

I could see this looking a bit like the fight between Haye and Chisora.

Power and class, overcoming power and superior chin.

Just a scenario to ponder.

 

Tua vs Wilder would be a repeat of Klitschko vs Wilder…meaning Wilder wouldn’t fight him
