Good matchup Sam Peter v David Tua

[Wayne]

I was just thinking how this blend of styles will make a top matchup. Tua is a solid powerful pro with great chin.
Peters come forward style , i think maybe Sam wud try to use boxing skills and jab rather than meet Tua head on
but it wud be a good fight maybe like Ibeabuchi v Tua
WOT DO YOU GUYS THINK ?

If Tua stays fat- he gets his first KO loss.

Forget Peter vs Tua lets have Peter Vs Wlad 2 and watch Peter destroy him this time Peter learned alot from that fight and has gone on to learn more when he's done with Wlad he can then destroy his big brother and have us rid of them

In the Rahman vs Tua rematch Rahman shook Tua up badly at the end so i believe Peter at this point in Tua's career would stop him

[Swashbuckling Gordy]

Hasim Rahman stood Tua on his head second time around bar some extrordinary judging.

Peter is a better fighter than Rahman .

Both came in as Fat slobs and as far as the scoring goes Rahman did absolutely nothing from from the 5th round on except clinch, watch the fight again...Rahman should have had pts deducted at least if not DQ'd again watch the fight...Obviously If this version of TUA shows up gainst Peter he obviously does not win...

Granted ! But Tua did even less !!

Tua is wasted talent and theres nothing Sadder !! In that fight he was even easier to hit than usual .

Tua has promised much but delivered little hes been given ample oppurtunity.

At this stage of his career i cant see him suddenly turning it all around laying off the cheseburgers and becoming a born again fighter .

Tua was good if you stood toe to toe but if you moved on him he just didnt have a clue .

In the right fight he could look a million dollars and whilst Peter aint a fleet footed stylist he has enough moves to stop Tua late .

Tua is lazy .

Tua will not win a fight with Sam Peter.

Sam Peter will not win a rematch against Wlad.

Tua will not win a fight with Sam Peter.

Sam Peter will not win a rematch against Wlad.

Tell me more

[DynoMight]

Tua was a force to be reckoned with prior to his "comeback" and I would have bet on him against many quality fighters. Tua was the man. And then he stopped being the man very suddenly. Poor conditioning, lackluster drive, and failure to get in close when it mattered. He will lose a UD to Sam Peter 10 out of 10 times in this year of our Lord, 2007.

[Tysonbruno]

And why won't he beat wlad

[DynoMight]

As for Wlad/Peter,

All i hear is how much Peter improved from Toney I to Toney II, but you all forget who's been steadily improving at the same time. Wlad. Wlad has grown in confidence and mental fortitude with every single fight since Corey Sanders. He beat Sam once, and even had to go down three times in the process. These made him a better fighter and helped him to overcome his fear of getting hit and getting dropped.

I see no one challenging Wlad in any significant fashion given the current crop of heavyweights. Surely not Brewster, and Sam will not be as intimidating a second time around. Especially since Wlad knows he can be hurt now, though he learned it late last fight. That was a bitch of a left hook he buzzed Peter with.


Oddly, i give the most chance to Valuev. Not because I think he can outfight Wlad, but because he's so damn big. If he leaned on Wlad all night and sapped his juice (his one suspect area IMO), i could actually see him wearing down Wlad and then who knows?

Toney was able to freeze Peter several times in their fight and if he were to freeze like that against David Tua its over...Tua would crowd Peter and Sam is not a good enough boxer to Keep Tua at range...Tua is a much better boxer than Peter and when in shape and would easily win a decision if it goes to the cards...

Remember until Peter fought Wlad he fought absolutely NO ONE of any note...aside from a well-shot Jeremey Williams its tough to identify anyone on his resume...now looks at Tua's resume Ruiz, Izon, Maskaev, Oquendo, Moorer, Nicholson, etc.. It's not even a comparison.

Now I will go further...Peter's power is OVERRATED, that's right...Toney went toe-to-toe in two fights and one questionable knockdown, Toney always knew that Peter's power was overrated that's why he singled him out...Peter's power became legend when he caught Jeremey Williams with a dramatic punch so Sam Peter has joined the elite group of heavy hiters Brian Nielsen, Maurice Harris and Henry Akinwande that KO'd Jeremey prior to Peter...Hell Williams is the only recognizable name that Sam Peter ever KO'd...Oh I forgot the legendary Julius Long, LMAO...

Regarding the Tua/Rahman 2 that you keep referring to, go to YOUTUBE.COM and watch the Sumo match err fight again...Tua was the only one even trying to fight from 5 on but having the equally fat Rahman trying to make love to him made it impossible and also near impossible to watch...I think the ref was aroused by having two sweaty, grossly obese, nearly naked men embracing, otherwise he would have certainly deducted some points from Rahman...

Tua has left it to late, to inactive! He needs to fight Cameron so Shane can assume his place as NZ's best current heavyweight!

Sam Peter v David Tua would be a damn good fight.They both can take alot of punishment, Tua can take more so Peter don't need to have a slug fest with Tua like he did with the weaker James Toney but he will and Tua will drop Peter. Peter don't cover up that well, he relies on his ability to take a hit and Tua is a good head hunter with alot of power.Tua wins by ko rd 6.

Maybe the Tua of about 5 or 6 years ago! Tua nowadays is terrible! Once Tua steps in there again with a top ten guy he'll be exposed. The guy let to much time go to waste.

No matter how terrible I'm sure he can still take a hit and he will hit back just as hard if not harder so imo Sam goes down in a slug fest.I hope we will get a chance to see.

[Galaxy]

I'm sure Tua can still take a shot, & his power is still a factor. The problem is he doesn't know how to fight... maybe he never did, but it is really evident now that he's slowed. If Tua goes up against a slugger like Peter sure he still has a punchers chance but because of his reflexes I don't see Tua taking the openings when they are there. Tua's chin could get him into trouble IMO!!!
