Re: David Tua vs Wladmir Klitschko
One pro-celebrity golfer that nearly put down his brother who has the "chin of granite"....also Wlad got back up as well, it's just that Sanders was able to follow up. Wlad doesn't give up his height and reach like that anymore, he'd destroy David Tua. Over the past couple of years Wladimir has gotten better, David Tua has just gotten older
Re: David Tua vs Wladmir Klitschko
tua needs to wear 5 inch platforms to land something decent against a 6'6" klitschko. he barely touched lennox and when he did he had to jump as high as lebron. tua is one of my fav heavy weights but i think he is way over his head on this one.. literally.

Not sure about that Lyle. Tua is one of the greatest punchers the division has ever seen and he is capable of one punch KOing just about anyone. Problem is I don't think he has the speed to get inside Wlads jab and I only see Wlad 1-2ing Tua's head off. Tua would have to hope for either a macho Wlad (which I don't see) or Wlad having an off night and making a few mistake's and Tua would then have to capitalise.

Doesn't mean he couldn't though. I'm with you on Wlad beating him, but he has got that power that IF he connected, Wlad would go!
Re: David Tua vs Wladmir Klitschko
I think its too late for Tua to defeat Wlad. Tua is only getting older and slower so I'd have to see him do much more before I change my mind on this. But I think no one can be surprised if he did KO Wladimir. Murderous punch vs. Suspect chin is always a one punch away fight. But I think Wlad would play this as cautious as if he were taking on a prime Tua and then would win a jab, jab, jab, occasional right hand fest. Coming back at the age of 37 is hardly a good idea. Unless he needs the money...
Re: David Tua vs Wladmir Klitschko
Only hope for Tua at this late stage of plodding is to work on adjusting his feet to a mental trigger and be catching or disrupting the jab at a distance and be moving in, think in twos like a flowing fox trot step, ba bang. Other than that It'll look like a rerun of Lewis Tyson.

YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW UP TO KO WLADIMIR!
Sure he doesn't take a punch well, but hell Corrie Sanders blasted him with a left cross and Wlad got back up before the 10 count...of course he was back down a little later, but the FACT is Wlad can handle 1 punch of big power but you have to follow up to stop him.
...And before that Tua would have to catch him
Re: David Tua vs Wladmir Klitschko
Well... if you didn't see it here it is!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BkeuntHRpMTua has good movement and is in shape. Most any top Heavyweight when he connects it's going to do damage. I think Tua has a good chance certainly as better than Arreola because Arreola head doesn't move like Tua's.
