David Haye vs. David Tua

[The Hammer]

I heard from a reliable source that David Haye has just turned down a fight against David Tua in July.

The same source says Haye's trying to get on the Wlad vs. Thompson card on July 12, against either McCall or Rahman.

If Tua and Haye ever fought, what would the result be?

[boxing_great]

tua brutal KO.

[~Lucky13~]

tua knocks him spark out

[Mr. Ryan]

Dumb question really. Tua is a natural heavyweight who punches like a monster. It'd be over the first punch he landed.

[AsianGambler]

tua win by murder.

[The Hammer]

tua brutal KO.

Yes, I agree.

Tua has a great chin, Haye does not. Haye has decent speed in the early rounds, and would probably land on Tua, but not be able to hurt him. However, Haye slows down by the middle rounds. At that point Tua would catch him with a big punch and put him to sleep.

This prime for prime or now?

exactly, haye has some real bad stamina, he better condition himself a little better or he won't survive for long in the HW division

[KESSLER]

David Tua can punch like a mule and he's got an iron chin, so I'm not really sure Haye would be able to stop him.

One clean flush hook and it's over for David Haye.

Now. In Tua's prime, it would be in round one. Even now, Tua would KO him by the middle rounds!

A 40 year old shot Thompson stopped Haye, and I'm sure Tua still can!
