I could be wrong, but I just see Peter/Tua as a non stop bomb fest, much like Tua/Ibeabuchi, except this time not going anywhere near the distance.
    yeah. wlad would ud or tko tua. but it'd be good money and as a tua fan i want him to put some money away before retiring.

    tua/peter will be a slower version of ike/tua and less punches but it'll still be good. peter gets koed.

      I think Wlad would respect Tua's power enough not to even try to KO him. Probably jab his way to a boring decision. Peter isn't close to the talent that Ibeabuchi was, and even though Tua has declined since that fight, he still has enough in the tank to put away Peter, while standing up to his rabbit punches. Peter is not the most nimble guy out there and I don't think Tua will have too much trouble finding his chin. Plus against Wlad, he looked like he ate straight rights pretty good, but in the 12th when Wlad caught him with a left hook, he did the chicken dance. I hear Tua has a pretty decent left hook.

        wlad ruined the poor kid.

        every fight i've seen peter in since wlad (not including toney because toney doesn't have power at heavy) he's been kd or hurt or wobbled.

        as long as tua's power is still there peter is gonna go down.

        arreola/tua winner is suppose to get peter.

        peter/arreola for sure if arreola wins but i don't know if peter's handlers will put him in against tua. you think if tua wins it'll happen?

              Boxing fans love to imagine favorite fight moments from the past and think it translates the same way 10 years later. You'll see that when Calzaghe fights Roy Jones too. It won't take a great fighter to beat David Tua in 2008.

                Last shot for Tua. I don't know if he wins but I bet he puts everything he has in trying to do so.

                  tua is old.

                  he's slower obviously but the power is still there as far as i can tell. it's just a question of whether he can land or not.

                  arreola is no byrd or toney. he's hittable and though the plan is to box and not stand if front of tua eventually he's gonna square up against him.

                  even if he boxes tua and wins the first few rounds he'll get over confident and square up against tua. it's just his nature.

                  i just watched the chazz-arreola fight this morning. he is slow and he loops his punches. old tua will catch him with something.
