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!!!
Into trouble with a guy who couldn't take out a middleweight?!?!?...remember LL hit Tua with everything and Tua never even budged, Sam Peter has never stopped anyone any good and Tua certainly wouldn't be his first...Why do posters believe that Sam Peter is such a heavy hitter

...you guys have been listening to the HBO announcers a little too much remember Sam is under a fat contract from HBO, but I'm sure HBO would never pump up one of their fighters
Tua is a MUCH better boxer than Sam that's just a fact and for an IN SHAPE Tua the decision would be relatively easy...Sam ain't no Ike!
The only question is whether or not Tua would get into shape but if he does it's a wipe out...
It ain't a fact Tua is a better boxer than Peter, you need to go back & watch Tua's last 5 fights... he ain't the same guy who fought Ike, not even the same guy who fought Lewis.
Heres something for ya, Tua is making about 20-30 thousand to fight in the these tune ups in the States, Shane Cameron who fought last night & scored a chilling one punch KO of Bob Mirivic has offered Tua a quarter of a million to fight. But guess what Tua's running scared... from a guy with only 18 fights. I'm sorry to say but Tua is finished.
By the way Cameron won last night after breaking his right hand in the 1st rd, very impressive display of heart!!! Cameron is NZ's best current heavyweight!
Come on Tua hand the touch over!
Running scared because he won't fight Cameron or is it being smart? Tua is calling out all of the top 10 fighters and no one wants any fighting Shane does nothing for him and at 34 he has got to take fights that make sense...remember the goal is a title belt and all of the $$$ that goes with it, if Shane can earn a top 10 ranking then David will fight him...Let Cameron earn his bones by fighting up the ranks like Tua did, so far Shane has nothing in his record that would indicate he's earned it...If you look at the big picture the only one that has anything to gain by a Tua -Cameron fight is Cameron it won't elevate David in the rankings or get him the title shot he's looking for...again let Shane fight his way up like David did.
Tua's last five fights were against fighters with a combined 85-25 record. Shane Cameron's last five fights were against guys with a combined 72-38 records...Even the quality of the fighters a Fat Tua is fighting is better than what the great Shane Cameron is fighting...like I said let Cameron earn his shot.
Tua ain't calling out sh*t, after every fight it's I still need this many more fights before I'm ready! Take on Cameron earn some $$$'s, what's he got to lose? Look @ the records of their opponents Cameron his only had 18 fights! Tua's on the comeback trail... & in my opinion fighters should fight the best available compitetion. Cameron is considered the best current NZ heavyweight. Tua needs to fight Cameron if he wants to be taken seriously again!
Shane ain't great but he'll knock Tua the F**k out!!!
