Haye talks shit to the wrong people. Tua still has his chin and power. If they ever fought he'd get his ass whooped.
In fact Tua winning the title now would be pretty cool. I hope this fight somehow happens.
if people think tua has no chance against either klits then they r wearing blinkers.
of course tua will have trouble because of their reach, but he will get through plenty of times and at tua's age u can bet he will make the most of it when he does and u can be certain that niether klit can survive tua's bombs.
tua is a different case compared to nearly all the other contenders because he is one who will not be intimidated by them, and will be more than happy to let his punches go.
sorry but as good as the klits r, and they r exceptional boxers, i just don't see them surviving 12 rounds against david tua.
but it must be said that tua would need to have put in the hard yards in the lead up to such a fight or the klits will spank him like they do to everyone else.
Tua's fought some of the same opponents the Klitschkos faced, and of course the same man who's next in line to fight Haye.
Tua was the 1st and only man to KO Ruiz, and if Haye becomes the 2nd to do so, there could be a great public interest in a showdown between these two.
Tua beat Hasim Rahman and Danell Nicholson before Wladimir did.
Both Vitali and Tua have losses to Lennox Lewis and Chris Byrd. Both Vitali and Tua beat Obed Sullivan, Calvin Jones and Cleveland Woods.
It only seems natural to host a showdown between Tua and one of the three champs at some point.
He's a samoan, but the kiwis stole him since they don't have any good fighters of their own.
Tua has lived here in New Zealand all his life. If he didnt come here he wouldnt have learned to box. I think he wants to be said to be Samoan to put his country of birth on the map, thats it.
No way he can beat a klitschko, especially with manny steward in the corner.
Tua's promoter looks like a bum, he has bad people around him who are purely interested in a big payday, notice i said payday and not winning a title.
They know that Wlad will accept the fight, or pass Tua off to Vitali.
If his team was serious about winning a title they would have fought a WBA ranked fighter immidiatley, in fact, Kali Meehan OFFERED to fight Tua, and they turned it down. Meehan is top 5 WBA fighter, instead they are fighting Friday "No rank" Ahunanya, and after that want to fight Seldon in Hawaii. This tells me that the promoters are treating Tua like a circus act rather than a contender.
I believe that Tua's promoter is Cedric Kushner, who is anything but a bum. If we all went by appearance, as you seem to, then you'd be regarded as a half-wit, maybe a three-quarter-wit at most. But we are more educated and socially responsible than that................. aren't we??
Kushner does not look well. He was once more than 150 lbs heavier, and had to go on a very strenuous diet, as well as having his stomach stapled. Not very pleasant.
It was he who brought Hasim Rahman to the heavyweight title. Whilst he was waiting in his hotel room for Rahman to arrive to re-sign with him, for a $5 mill bonus, Rahman was accepting $500,000 in small bills from a suitcase presented by Don King, and he never turned up to meet Kushner. There was a 2 hour TV special all about it. Perhaps you didn't see it.... or maybe you did??
He is NO BUM.
Do you think Tua can beat either brothers? Because I don't think so, Wlads chin is damn nearly impossible to get anywheres close to it. I just see Tua taking another beaten similar to the one Lennox gave him. I just think its a terrible style-match up for Tua.
Sorry, but thats the way mandatories work, Tua said the klitschkos will be a lot shorter once he ko's them, why talk crap about them if you not going to fight them?
works both ways son.
Tua and his camp are dumb, he can't beat any of the klitschkos. Tua got his ass spanked by Lennox Lewis, because Lewis's reach advantage over him. Why take a fight you can't win and your team already knows you can't win? I mean they know they can beat Haye, but they have like 0 percent chance of beating the longer reach Klitschkos. Its Lennox Lewis vs Tua all over again... Stupid pointless fight!
Tua will have brain-damage and probably lose a lop-sided decision win against either of the Klitschkos. Congrats Tua, you went the distance with the Klitschko brothers... But our autopsy says you have brain-damage for getting hit so much!
Pussy move for Haye to talk shit about Tua, but not step in the ring against him. :chairshot
Don't care what crappy belt rankings say, who gives a **** about belts? Its about the best fighting the best, so why talk shit if you don't got the balls to fight Tua? Haye took an easy way to get his crappy ass belt anyways, fighting the weakest belt-holder in Valuev. I mean a faded-Holyfield already beat Valuev and was ripped the hell off!
You can't fight a bum, and a bum who hasnt fought in 2 years and then call out a world champion.
Tua's only route is the WBO route, as he is ranked top 10 by the WBO, so he could get a mandatory against Wlad.
He is not ranked by the WBA, and Haye doesn't have to fight him, Tua would be better off chasing Wlad, because he can get a shot against those guys, if he tries to get to Haye it will take him years to get through all the WBA eliminators, and by then Haye will be retired probably.
Sure you can, I mean look at the state of the heavyweight division hugman Ruiz is challenging for a belt! If Haye wants to talk shit, why not back it up! TUA challenge Haye! Haye says your a fat piece of shit basically! Make him pay!
Be careful Haye, Tua seems to be ignoring you in favour of the klitschkos, dont make him notice you.
Hayes in trouble, watch Tua call out Haye after he wins his next fight! :eek:
@ 5:40
:chairshot
Then fight Tua, Tua by brutal KO in the first round against Haye. Watch David Haye struggle with John Ruiz, Tua would knock both Haye and Ruiz out in the same night and while fighting them both at the same time!
