Thats a bit harsh...he has some great wins over guys like Oleg, Moorer, Ruis and two wins over Rahem...I hope he will step up over the next few fights and show us some big KO's over good guys soon :good

The dude has had some very good wins and has been in some great fights. Took out a ong reigning champ in 19 secs and had a foty with Ike. Active Tua is a dangerous man :twisted:

lennox has been ko'ed.
tua hasn't.
if tua was in atleast 220 against lewis, he would of taken that fight.:hi:
Tua is a good fighter, but I can't see him beating any of the top guys. His power will always be a factor though. Apparently they meausred it one time and he hits harder then Tyson. Regardless, vs Wlad he has a punchers chance. VS Peter... FOTY in the heavys. I think he will be to big for Toney, and if he can keep his weight down he would be to good for Briggs. At the moment I think Peter could beat Tua, but it would be a great fight. Paper chin Wlad would be wise to stay away.

If Tua can lose a few more pounds get down to 230 at least then we could see him be a world champ no doubt.

at 34 its def. possible - i mean he prob has 2 or 3 good years left when you look at guys like Maskaev

I cant believe some Aussies (Shane mtr)are not excited about Tua comming back and your comments to call a man a has been never was well i watched the fight against Tua vs Lewis and if Tua was 2 inch's taller he might have won the fight.
His explosive and could knock out anyone
some of his qaulity fights and you think he is a has been.
Tua's wins
John Ruiz KO 1
Oleg Maskeav TKO 11
Hasim Rahman TKO 10
Fres Oquendo TKO 9
Michael Moorer KO 1
Now i know these fights were some time ago but if Tua has been training boxers wouldnt that make him smarter and better in the ring now with a bit of a layoff.
34 years of age in the Hevyweight division is nothing and with the Heavyweights around today Tua could make some serious noise.
all im saying is dont be suprised if this time next year he KO's someone like Brewster or Ibrigamov because its not like the top ten Heavyweights are really skillful.

Thats wrong, Tua has some good wins hes not a never has been. He never was champion but he has a better resume than manny champions have or had.

Rubbish.
Tua in the 220s was capable of getting outboxed for long periods of time by Izon, Maskaev, Ibeabuchi and Rahman. It might've made it a closer fight but, considering Lewis arguably won about 10 or 11 rounds, that's an awful lot of leeway. And perhaps a 220 Tua would've been less capable of taking Lewis's right hands than he was in 2000, not so much mass...
But...that's history.
What Tua needs is what Tua has needed for almost 2 years now. Get in shape, fight very regularly even if it's not great comp. Finally, he's doing that...so of course he has a chance.
Just stay away from good jabbers, David.

That was AWESOME what He did to Montana...
I think Tua needs to stay "active"( as His Promoter is saying ), and go for a Title in 2008 to have the best chance at some well-deserved GLORY( Holyfield/Ibragimov would be GREAT )!
