I believe that David Tua Could Knock Valuev Out.

      It's a huge height difference obviously but Valuev would be punching down at the bobbing & weaving Tua, making himself shorter and a more available target in the process. Tua goes upstairs with a left hook and shakes up Valuev's equilibrium.

          Wasn't Gerald Nobles about 5'11? He had no problem landing haymakers on Valuev's chin.

            I have. But Valuev is not Lennox Lewis.

            I could be a bit more harsh, but Valuev does seem like a nice guy.

            But yeah, big difference in skill [does that need to be said?]

              Tua has a tight left hook and can triple them, but at 5.10 he needs to reach
              his arms from shoulder height which could be about 2 feet higher. I mean Haye has 78 inch reach and I just saw Tua has only 70.

              Tua basically only has that left hook which is great and I don't think it's enough to KO Valuev because he won't hit him as often and especially with the lack of speed compared to Haye.

                He'd be throwing a ton of shots though. Haye was not [to say the least]. Tua's overhand right usually has a lot more success at connecting than his left hook. If Valuev took too many bombs he'd crumble, trust me. Haye showed Valuev can be hurt. Valuev does not have an Oliver McCall chin: just a good one. David Tua would wear Valuev down with bombs all over his body. Unless Valuev changed his tactics to a defensive style, I think Dave would have a great shot.

                  If you can neutralise that left hook, Tua is harmless, Haye has power in both hands and showed great lateral movement and stamina, tua is good at the old bob and weave but is flat footed, i think valuev wide ud's him

                    Tua wouldnt throw loads of shots, against lewis tua was throwing one shot at a time.

                      Yeah, that was Lennox Lewis. Last time I checked, Lennox Lewis was a top 10-15 ATG. Let's be fair now.
