Kushner Pushing For Klitschko-Tua Bout

[BrooklynBomber]

give Tua some credit, his punches hurt like hell no doubt still, and if thers one problem with Wlad, hes a little bit brittle. Id say that Wlad gets by like 120-108 or maybe Wlad might lose a round or two...but Tua is a tough bastard, and I would say that Tua's defence is tighter than Brewster's and he at least used to have better stamina...Id be surprised if Tua got finished, even at this stage of his career. quite a pointless fight right now, in any case...

but **** this! Tua aint done anything at all to earn a title. If Wlad is going to make a non-unification fight at this point, he ought to fight Valuev. yall KNOW it would be interesting to see how Wlad would fight that huge bastard. I dont see why not...Valuev is fighting very soon, aint he? he could at least get a title shot coming off a win over a an undefeated fighter...

It all adds up! Valuev is the highest rated guy by the IBF(excluding the people Wlad has already beaten recently...), the WBC belt is going to be held up forever with Peter, Vitali and MCCall all in line, Tony Thompson has to kick the ass of the winner of Holyfield/Imbragimov for the WBO cause hes in line, and Chagaev...I hope hes ok. and hey...Valuev said he definately wants a title shot.
please Wlad, fight either Chagaev or Valuev next, these are the only fights that make sense and can be made at the time.

Good points, Wlad should fight either Chagaev or Valuev. We all know what Wlad does against small, slow, one punch at a time guys. It's all much more interesting seeing him against either a guy who is bigger then him or a guy who is a counterpunching lefty with good skills.

yea me too. I just see Tua hitting guys with these huge shots and I don't think Wlad could stand up to that, if Tua can obsorb Klitschko's energy and punches for 6 or 7 rounds then start hitting him with some big shots he'll win. That's the only chance he has, eat Klit's jab and take away his energy then boom. If he can't do that then it's over.

You mean dodge Klitshcko's jabs? If you eat his jabs then you are going to the canvas before him. How can someone lose more energy hitting you with jabs then you getting hit by them? Anyway, even with a prime Tua, I can see this fight going like the Tua-Lewis fight. Although Wlad has a higher probability of getting KO'd.

yeah i agree for the most part, but in any point of the fight be it round 1 or 12 if tua sees an opening for that left hook its over, wlads chin is 1 of the worse ...

C'mon boys, Klitschko today would have handled any version of this guy.

Why does anyone want to see the fighters from ten years ago get undeserved chances anyway? I'd feel a bit guilty watching this.

But remember Wlad can get TWO voluntary fight in before his next mandatory, since there is a four-fighter tournament for the mandatory and since he's just had two consecutive mandatories

[BrooklynBomber]

IMO, Wlad of now handles any version of Tua. Tua is slow and short. He would not be able to sneak in a la Sanders nor would he be able to get any decent leverage on Wlad.


This will go the same way as Lewis fight.

i think prime tua would beat wlad, i suppose me thinking he can now is just wishful thinking, the power and movement tua had in his prime would knock wlad off his 1 dimensional game, 1 of those leaping left hooks would catch him sooner or later
