    Tua had unbelievable power and also a great chin. I think a young David Tua taken under the wing of somebody like Kevin Rooney could have been a truly awesome combination

      In fairness, Wlad's early fights were very entertaining and Vitali has been in his fair share of fun brawls. Also, Lennox generally fought a better quality of opponent than the Klits do, which of course is the other half of an entertaining fight.

        Then again Chris Byrd fought like Mike Tyson against Fres Oquendo. Seeing any of the three in mention in this thread venture too far out of their stylistic comfort zones would be a shock.

            Tua never really had the smarts to be a great boxer, but he was physically one of the most awesome specimens I've ever seen in the ring.

              give Tua credit. he had to fight Lennox Lewis for the belt
              if a prime Lewis was still fighting, do you al really think Vitali and Wlad
              or even David Haye would be champions ????

              Who did Vitali and Wlad or Haye have to beat to win the belts ?
              tua just came at the wrong time thats all

              he could beat Wlad right now though ...

                WTF lol no he wouldn't. He'd get circled and beat up from range.

                    Did you see how much trouble Tua had against Two Gun?

                    There's no way he would stand a chance in the ring at this point.

                    Well sure a punchers chance maybe but good lord.

                      It is overrated.

                      Wlad fights harder than Vitali.
