What happen to Tua? I really thought he was a contender and maybe even the future of the heavyweights at one time. Seems the division is still open to me that he could win one of the belts and go from there. Does anyone know?
I haven't heard nothing on Tua... He seemed to lose his way. I stopped being excited about him way back. He was an exciting prospect at one time though, but he lost a lot of stock after the Lewis bout. If he comes back and exterminates Ruiz though he'll shoot straight into my good books again.
A rematch of Tua vs. Ruiz would be different from their first fight of course, but I am sure that Tuaman would KO Ruiz again by round 8.
That is one rematch that I hope will happen someday. As long as Tua comes into that fight under 230, I think he decapitate Ruiz.
We need Tua now more than ever. All we need is about 10 seconds out of him so that we can finally be rid of John Ruiz. If Tua wants to retire after that, he can feel free. But for God's sake, please, please, someone get rid of that horrible hugger.
semjasa,
I believe my comments, while certainly full of rhetorical hyperbole, are both factual and constructive. Tua is in fact grossly under-implementing his talent (which is considerable) by eating his way out of serious contention. Anyone who makes an objective comparison of young, fire breathing Tua and an older fat hog Tua would certainly reach that conclusion. My comments are constructive in that hopefully in this limited forum I can protest this degenerative scenario which has transpired in the context of Tua's career. So, to summarize my response to your reply, I say if you can't take the heat, get out of the proverbial kitchen (which is probably occupied by Tua anyway).

Does it really matter? If he does come back, he will be a fat lard-ass who breathes heavy by round 3 and throws one punch at a time looking for the late K.O. What a disappointment. If he could keep his face out of the bucket for a little bit, maybe he could what alot of us thought he would. But he won't, so we can watch him get beat by slap-happy "technicans" like Chris "WHOOOOO!" Byrd. What a joke. Its a shame, too.
If you have nothing constructive or factual to say be quiet.
Tua is a FAT HOG.
