    David Tua on: Joshua, Fury, Usyk

    Was just on TV asked about the 3

    Feels Fury has a warriors spirit, would be a problem for anybody, the best currently and perhaps one of the best we've seen

    Feels he would have beaten Joshua, says Joshua can't hold up in a firefight, says he is now trying to move like Lewis but isn't the natural athlete Lewis was

    Is interested to see how Usyk does, feels if he can make it a boxing match vs the big guys he will do well, but said if the big guys come in intending to just do damage and not win rounds Usyk will struggle

      Good stuff but post a link dude. Lol.

      I agree with all of those takes. It's no secret I genuinely believe Fury may go down as GOAT, and I think Usyk can make some real noise, but I want to see him handle Chisora.

        Yep, those comments make sense. It’d be interesting to see him fight AJ. Tua would have had to been st his best and be determined. He’s not as consistent as AJ. I’d still pick AJ.

          Fury being one of the best ever ?!?!?!?

          I guess Wilder is now considered this generations Joe Louis. Prior to his fights with Fury, Wilder was only considered to be a 1 punch bum.

          How perceptions change to fit the story.

            Dunno who i'd favour between Tua and Joshua but I think Tuas analysis is pretty fair. AJs downfall in that first Ruiz fight was him getting suckered into standing and trading too close with a guy who has a good chin, quick hands and who throws a lot of hooks and body shots in bunches. Tua had similar qualities but with a much better chin and much more power. Not sure whether Joshuas approach in the Ruiz rematch would have worked against Tua.

              You picked Wilder to KO Fury with ease in both fights tho.

                And I'm picking the same way in part 3.

                Tell me you rated Wilder as an ATG

                You can never claim me to be a Wilder fan, per se. I just think very little of Fury.

                    YDKSAB tho, as you've recently proven by picking Wilder to KO Fury in both fights.

                    I'll trust David Tua's opinion over yours, thanks.
