Tua weighing around 250 lbs. right now according to Roger Bloodworth

[Charles White]

Still plenty of time to get in shape, but he will have to be much lighter to be effective in the fight vs. Cameron.

Went in at 250 in 2006 against Wheeler, and won, and has fought heavy for years.

He's got about 7 weeks, but would have hoped he'd be 240 max by now.

He's got about 7 weeks, but would have hoped he'd be 240 max by now.:yep I agree, I was hoping for 245 at the heaviest. I want to see him come in at about 235-240 tops. 238 would be good.

[ranser]

didnt know cameron had such a height advantage.

[ashley]

7 weeks out......he should be able to lose 10 pounds in that time.

Just depends on what hes eating.......you can train all you like but if you eat the wrong carbs its very hard to lose weight.

[shamrockrhino]

he'll be ready no matter the criticism tua's received he's a fighter been their done that, knows that this is his only opportunity to get back in to the world stage cameron should be worried.
Reinsfield stated it's going to be lights out for tua lets be realistic tua in the past & present has the toughest jaw in the business given top fighters in their prime their 1st lost like Rahman and oquedo destroying other top heavies.

He is a professional and knows what he needs to accomplish in order to defeat Cameron. Same goes with Cameron, he will be in great shape as well, usually is.

[diehard]

Tua is usually 280 going into training with 8 weeks out. At least when he was with Barry. Now it's just a matter of getting in boxing shape.

[Charles White]

diehard, are you getting any of my pm's?

[ranser]

i reckon Tua can beat Cameron.The guy has a monstrous punch, particularly his hook, and his granite chin.These 2 qualities are enough to beat Cameron who had trouble ko'ing Mirovic a while back,

[LeonMcS]

Cameron did break his hand in the first round in that bout.

[Hmmm]

U kidding with the KOing of Mirovic ranser?? Cameron had a broken hand and still beat him fighting with 1 hand and a beautiful hook that made Mirovic look like a felled tree!!

[maco_187]

cameron is definately a good fighter, very active inside the ring for a heavyweight so hell definately bother tua but he comes inside which leaves him open alot of the time, tua's weight might no be the issue it will be fitness, ring rust, miles left in the legs which i fear could cause his downfall!

[Hmmm]

Dont forget though, cameron has tissue paper skin (ala Rocky)....

True.

It would be nice though to see Tua under 240lbs for this fight.

He is 114kg, which is about 252lbs. He should lose about 10lbs just with hard training and healthy eating, the rest will have to be taken out with specific workout, but I don't think his camp will go there.
