tua will get knocked out
Total Mismatch.
I'll Tell You,I've Picked Tua In alot Of His Big FIghts(Tko byrd,Ko Rahman 2,and yes...w.or tko late vs. lummox looses).His Biggest Enemy has been His Commitment and Condition.a blowout over a washed up lt.hvy Is Not Much(but Good To See Him In Shape and doing what u do to a mismatch..end it.He COULD get to Klitschko chin (anyone could),but I see KLitschko by tko.And No,Tua WIll never be that beast that went to hell with Ike.
What hes doing doesnt sound too legal. Its seems kind of like blackmail but sh@t like that happens all the time in this sport. Either way, bad style for Tua. He would need to ko him and I think this would be a lot like the Lewis fight where Tua didnt let his hands go and couldnt get out of 1st gear.
Tua doesn't deserve this fight, but this boxing so we all seen shadier fights. Although this is one right here that i think will never take place.
Tua is going to get killed. Prime Tua could not beat Klitch, much less the older Tua of today.
Tua do not deserve this fight but I do hope it happens and he wins for I'm a big TUA FANATIC!!!
If he can get back in good shape and throw a high volume of punches I can see Tua hurting Klitsckho, as long as he persists of getting through Klits long arms and killer jabs I do think it's possible for Tua to stop the big Ukranian. I mean Tua does have an iron chin to begin with(I don't consider the Tua being kayoed by a much experienced cuban a fair fight ;D)
Cedric Kushner just wants a big payday.Kushner knows Tua's fighting days are numbered so instead of having Tua fight his way to the top Kushner will bully his way to the top.I like Tua but Wlad would have beat him on his best day and that day in the past.Tua will get brain damage if Kushner is successful.
As much as I like Tua, there is no way he deserves a shot at the belt yet. He needs to keep on working on his conditioning and keep busy.
Maybe a year down the line if he can impress on the way.
This is a lousy fight and in no way will it even be slightly competitive
Unless Tua has figured out how to get past the jab, I think it will be Wlad by decision. Tua does have a punchers chance and I love the Tuaman but he needs to take another year and a couple more fights before he is ready. In that time, I would like to see him against at least one of the other top 10 before getting his shot.
If Tua gets this shot i'll go on record and bet anyone that Tua knocks him out..
he is far from old and in good shape will KO klit... he moves well, has been in there with great heavys... klit is good right now because he can contorllt the fight,you watch him get hurt,takea big hit he will go into a shell, he lacks heart and has no chin..
While |I think Wladwould win by KO, I'd like to see it just to have a bit of decent hype around the division again. There a few names out there right now, so Wlad could do alot worse than going in with Tua.
If Tua had any chance, they would get him a couple of fights to get in condition and gain confidence. If they are throwing him in with Klitschko now then they are taking the money and running (and Tua taking a beating).
PS Also how poor was Tua's effort against Lewis and when was his last great fight?
Preme Im with you, Tua will ko him for Klithcko its a bad match, Im down the bookies. Talking to him hes heads spot on hes Buzzing. Plus Im told he is fitter know than he has been for years.
Tua also took big shots from Lennox Lewis himself a BIG Puncher, if Tua took them I'm pretty sure he can take Klit's power shots. The only question right now is cardio is Tua ready to go the full 12 rounds in a slugfest, if he is I'm confident at least one of those heavy Tua hands will hurt Klit and probably drop him(If Brewster and Sanders can, why not TUa).Quote:

i dont feel wlad has improved to much since sanders spanked him in front of the world... apart from a peter who could only punch he fought no one really, tua is a very good poxer puncher, and lewis was ontop of his game that night and he took what lewis had to offer all night long and got close to him..
he will knock out wlad, once we see wlad hurt again he will go into a shell, if u lack skills he will come back boxing, tua will put him down, if he gets up he will be str8 back into him and seriously hurt and finish him
I agree with that.I feel the same way about Evander fighting for the WBO belt there are others in front of him.Evander and Tua would be a great fight.Quote:

1. Lewis' chin was also suspect but Tua didn't get close enough to really test it because Tua gets almost paralyzed in fights with taller guys who continually jab.
2. Wlad is now being trained by the same trainer as Lewis who has trained him in Lewis' image.... jab jab jab then hold when they get too close. I'm glad Wlad hasn't picked up on the 'ol hold-head-down-then-uppercut move and I hope he never does.
For the record, I am a huge Klitschko and Tua fan so I don't want to see them in together, that means I would feel a loss either way.
Klitschko-Tua would play out exactly like Klitschko-Brewster II or Lewis-Tua.
Wlad would jab his way to an easy win. Although, to be honest, I'd rather see Tua get a shot than someone like Tim Austin.
Mercer took Lewis's best shots but when Mercer fought Wlad he was shell of his former self and got stopped and its the same with Tua this isn't same Tua that had 12 round war with Ike or same Tua who done number on Ruiz this Tua is the one who just won 10 decision against medicore opposition :-\Quote:

I want to see David Tua get a title shot. i think he has a chance to beat klitscko... he can punch and wlad has been knock out b4. It should be a good fight.
Brewster against Wlad was a shocking excuse for a fighter - only there to get one last payday as his career was over and his eyesight terrible. And Wlad still kept away from him round after round like he was facing a prime Mike Tyson.
Brewster hardly through a punch and his eyesight was so bad that he couldn't defend against one. The man was an absolute shell of his past self.
Klitschko is not a very fluid boxer like Chris Byrd or Lennox Lewis and does not move side to side very comfortably. Back and forward fine but not side to side. Klitscko is also slower of foot than Lewis or Byrd were and while Tua is not a quick fighter by any means, I do believe he will be able to get inside of Wladimirs reach and that is when the trouble or fun starts.
Tua unless his chin has gone which I doubt will be able to take Klitschkos power. Tua is used to punching up at taller opposition he's done it all his career but has Wladimir taken on anyone of the ability and height of Tua?
Tua has had a few comeback fights recently and has been shaking off the ring rust and been looking to box abit more - sensible move.
I hope this fight happens as it will be intriguing whatever the outcome.
Tua by Ko around the 8th.
OK,Were Going On Three Pages With THis.Lets Taste Reality People:THIS FIGHT WILL NOT/SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.Tua Is NOt THe Monster And TAlent He once was.He Can Still knockout used-up lt.hvys,grade c almost were types,etc.,but he is not a viable force in the top ten at this point and imo he will not be.he had everything you could want in a hvy weight fighter ,solid chin,short bone crunching power,a glare that can scare you,fire in the belly,and most of all TIME.Im Sorry folks But I sat Through Those Early Days Watching the "NEXT TYSON" AS glory boy jim lampley screamed out in his H.B.O blitz of ruiz,his ko of david izon (a fight he was losing bad) and his ko of oleg (again losing).After That He Went TO Hell With Ibeabuchi In A Classic and Just seem to lose interest and will in that defeat.I was sold on this fighter and his mystique.Maybes its buyer remorse but as heavyweights go,I think the "tua man" has squanderd his talents and abilities, he bought into his own myth and hype.watch that chris byrd bout again,do you remember how bad he was hurt to the boby in the 6th.It was sad man.He should have crushed little crissy that night and that was his career problem.convinced he could end a fight with just one punch ,he waited and still he waits :(
If he's so slow how did he catch the Byrd ? Moving side to side he can and does well, he cuts off the ring quickly on his oppone ts he steps out of the way quickly and he jabs to fast to be dodged or blocked and the other man never sees the right coming.I like Tua but he will be outclassed in a bad way.Quote:
