David Tua vs Wladimir Klitschko Early Next Year Who wins?
Klitschko vs Tua?

Kusher will drop lawsuit if fight is made
Comebacking heavyweight David Tua could get a world title shot against IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko according New Zealand's Sunday News. Tua's promoter Cedric Kushner, who has filed a $5 million lawsuit against Shelly Finkel, Shelly Finkel Management, K2 Promotions, Sport Five and Klitschko, says he will drop the case if Tua is given a title shot early next year. The suit relates to a cancelled Shannon Briggs challenge against Wladimir Klitschko in which Kushner says Briggs was strung along for close to two months by the Klitschko camp before electing to fight Calvin Brock instead. "I drop the suit, they give us the fight ... that's the plan," Kushner said. "Obviously, because I am the one taking them to court, I'm in a position to control any out of court settlement and I'll be looking to use all the leverage I can to get David the shot at the title he deserves." Finkel told the newspaper, ""I think Tua could interest us."

Tua is not a quitter like some of these bums Wladimir is fighting. Tua possesses one of the biggest punches in this division and he has never been KO'd. Wladimir's chin is average Tua's punch isn't. I doubt Klitschko would ever take this fight. My prediction is Tua win by 3rd round KO.
Tua has not fought a Klitschko yet.

If Klitschko uses his jab effectively and keep the much shorter Tua on the outside, then it should be a fairly easy fight for him. A speedy Chris Byrd had trouble getting in comfortable range against Klitschko, so I would expect Tua, being much slower and shorter than Byrd, to have the same difficulty as well.

Wladimir Klitschko wins easily if he keeps Tua on the outside. Only chance Tua has is if he gets on the inside and lands a HUGE shot. But I don't see him doing that; Wladimir Klitschko is a much better boxer now and is much better than Tua. Don't forget who Klitschko's trainer is. Trust me Emanuel Steward wont let Klitschko make any mistakes.

The only way Tua can win is on the inside. Tua relies on power head shots. He's a brawler not a boxer.
Emanuel Stewart has been working the hell outta Klitschko's jab as well as other areas of his fighting capabilities. Klitschko is fighting in different angles now.
Simon Peter couldn't do it and I bet he still can't.

Can an older Tua beat younger Klitschko ? I doubt it.....Is the Tua of today stronger than the Klitschko of today ?.....I doubt it......Could a prime Tua beat prime Klitschko ?? I wonder ?? ....At this point, I don't think that anyone believes that Tua seems to be improving as a fighter to the extent that Klitschko seems to be improving as a fighter ???---Klitschko wins !

Interesting fight, if Tua lands flush, it's lights out for the younger Klitschko, the older has a better chin and will put up a better fight, but I like David in either fight. Lawyer's are bottom feeders the world would be a better place if they weren't needed, but people bring lawsuits on themselves with their own behavior.
It would be a good fight.

Klitschko is too big, Haye is not ready. He would show Haye no respect and go after an early KO. Could he get caught with a shot from Haye? Sure, but I wouldn't bank on it. This might be the fight that Klitsch needs to get some confidence back in his power. He has been playing Paddy Cakes since he got KO'd by a couple of no-names. Klitschko would maul this guy, he is too big and too strong.

Tua already lost to one of the Klitscho back then but still not too many uprising star, David deserves a shot.
