Good matchup Sam Peter v David Tua

[p4pking]

Bumped a six year old thread to say a "prime" Sam Peter beats Tua, or Tyson? Either of those guys anywhere near their best would have Peter out in a few rounds, he doesn't even pose a threat imo.

Agreed. Prime Peter vs. Wilder would be far more interesting.

Tua is literally a hungry fighter that is too heavy to leave the dinner table and it's hard to be ambitious or aggressive when you are at this location too long. Peters is a winner if they fight only because he spends less time at the training table and if I remember correctly from my last meal, beef ribs can't run from anyone if they are weighed down with barbeque sauce. Tua's mindset is exactly what will make him lose always pointing out that he needs more work. He ain't ready mentally and his best days are behind him because when your best days are behind you and you aren't learning how to pace yourself and use lateral movement even if it's sparse, You lose and I used to think he had potential but what do I know, I am just a fan and I don't want to see Tua hurt unnecessarily.

He is definitely a better boxer than Tua was. Tua did have amazing chin and power though but Peter everytime Tua stepped up against real opponents he lost. Ruiz and Moorer are champs sure but they are walking knockouts who's only victories over a great champ were Holyfield- a light hitter and easy to hit one! Meanwhile Peter actually made it to HW champ and almost knocked out Wladimir Klitschko, regarded by the sane as the lineal HW champ!

I would say Peter beats Tua but I'm so impressed with David's performance against Ike that I could not dismiss him. His stamina, workrate, chin and power are immense! He just didn't know how to box.

Tyson can box and has better skillset/speed than either of them. But to say Peter couldn't hang with him is just bias! Peter is atleast as good as Ruddock.
