If Tua decides to go the WBA route he could end up facing Haye, if he still has got the title. How do you think that fight would play off? I think Tua would massacre Haye.
I never knew that...
Yeah, he showed discipline, which he'll hopefully use in the future. And, the Delaney fight was announced as a Heavyweight fight. I couldn't find the other one though.
Who the **** is this?!?!
everybody looks fast infront of valuev
I never knew that...
i think his chin will always be his weakness,only thing he can do is avoid getting hit flush
he used his boxing skills against valuev rather than trying too blast the guy out as he usually does,he didnt punch himself and his hand injury may have been a blessing in disguise
i think using his boxing skills instead of relying on his power too much is essential for haye if he is too really succeed at heavyweight

No doubt Tua could knock Haye's block off. But I'd never put money on a fight involving Tua, as he has shown throughout his career that he can disappoint quite often. The Lewis loss, the Byrd loss, the Rahman fights, lots of rounds against Oquendo etc, were all very, very disapointing performances by Tua. There was even a fight many years ago against a guy named Jeff Wooden where he got a very close decision.
I'd make it 70-30 in favour of Tua providing he's in good shape.
I think they were billed as Heavyweight fights, but I can't remember 100%. I'll try to find them in a second to double check though.
He looked very fast against Valuev, still has his power, and his stamina seemed to hold up, although his workrate was lower than normal. We still need to see his chin tested though.

tuaman would knock the braids out of david haye turn it to a fro
oh i thought you meant official fights at HW and not just his weight,no worries
he was the heaviest he had ever been by quite a bit against valuev and he still looked just as sharp which is a good sign

He came in at 206 against Gary Delaney, and 203.5 against Valeri Semiskur, both fairly early in his career.

Wrong...
He fought Tomasz Bonin at Heavyweight, Monte Barrett and Valuev. He also fought there a couple of times earlier in his career, which is overlooked by most people...
na he has only fought their 3 times mate
he's only fought twice at heavyweight
there's a reason why he throws less punches at heavweight
he's afraid to get hit

Haye was scared of Valuev and fought that way
enough said ...
Valuev was just a walking punching bag hardly threw any shots...
Tua will give Haye plenty of leather
scared? he outboxed him,that doesnt make you scared
Tua hits twice as hard as Valuev.
I don't think Haye would be so keen to engage with him.
That left hook is merciless and Tua is a brutal finisher.
Haye could outbox him but if Haye got hit with one of those bombs, I wonder if he'd make it out alive.
I think Lewis had the ideal way to beat Tua. Hit him hard early and jab his way to victory using every inch of his height for 12 full rounds.
It remains to be seen if Haye can do that with that kind of puncher.
that was just a horribe style match-up for tua
lewis was tall,strong,athletic with a great jab
