David Tua vs. Oliver McCall

[Irländsk]

seems everyone is starting a Tua vs. thread, so i did too.

[McGrain]

I guess i'd pick Tua, whether you mean right now or peak for peak.

[Irländsk]

Lets say right now, but I think the result would be the same as in a peak vs peak match. 12 rds of heavy punching, no knock downs, split decision or draw every time.

Lol it would be a great fight until hey both gas :]

This fight was signed at one point when Tua was still in shape, but Mcall pulled out. Id give Mcall a shot, but hard to pick a winner in this one.

I doubt if Tua could ever be as bad as McCall in his comeback. It is hard to watch McCall since he is so slow and wide open. Anyone that really believes Oliver deserves a shot is delusional. Tua wins this easily.

battle of the chins... Tua UD because he still has something left and is prob in better shape than Mccall; doesnt say much does it?

[WhataRock]

Oliver has had the slowest decline of just about any fighter I have seen. Even slower than Holy.

Mcall wasnt that good to start off with, but he was a top contender 10 years ago in his 30's and amazingly still is.
He can still punch and can still take a punch, he can still go for 12 rounds. Sometimes thats all you need.
