Now that Tua is coming back........

Tua would crush any of these chumps masquerading as champs today, including Vitali. This is assuming he really knuckles down to some hard training and gets serious. :bsflag: This is as delusional as a Tyson comment. Byrd got the best of him in '01. I dont see how so much inactivity would help him in a rematch. He last impressive W came against Fres in early '02. Its '05 now and he's fought 3 times since going 2-0-1. he did look real impressive against Moorer. haha.

Tua would beat Ruiz withouta doubt. He may lose his title in the first defense, but regardless...

I define 6.2 as pretty tall. He is atlest both longer and more skilled than brewster. When they're fighting you dont see a crazy height disparity. 6.2 is pretty tall when you're 5.5. As for Toney, I think Toney laughs at Tua until the bell rings, then he clown him. Put him in with Tyson That would still make one hell of a fight! (for 25 seconds at least) this has always been a great idea. If this fight is made, there needs to be one condition. LOSER RETIRES. :wave:

Hmmm, it would be a good fight but i think golota would have more too lose than too gain from it. If he wins it wont rank him much higher and if he gets caught and ko`ed. Its probably over

After Golota embarasses Brewster, and takes the WBO, let's have Tua fight him, who would love to see that? That would be one helluva fight. I agree with you, Tua does have the ability to become a champion, I would pay tons of money to watch Tua knock ruiz out,....again. Just thinking of paying for a Ruiz makes me *CRINGE* Unfortunately I have to if I want to see my favorite HW fight *argh*

Hasim Rahman may be skilled, but he aint that long. He held his own with Tua on two occasions. Actually was able to knock him down after the bell in RD12. I define 6.2 as pretty tall. He is atlest both longer and more skilled than brewster.

It's a shame the wasted talent of Tuaman. Maybe his confidence went flying after Lewis...? Tua is too small and too slow to get inside often enough to beat the top crop of fighters. If he doesn't hit someone with a lucky-ass-punch of course... Put him in with Tyson :D That would still make one hell of a fight! (for 25 seconds at least)

Yeah, Tua went down very heavy too, it was weird. But don`t write off Tua. He does have a punch and a great chin. The taller fighters such as Rahman and Klitscko would probably easily outbox him but lets be honest. Brewster, Ruiz would be susceptable to him and Toney is smaller than Tua so i`d give Tua a great chance at beating these guys!

21y ago

Well he has gone the distance on several ocasions, and if he pace himself and comes in not too heavy id say he beats brewster. You need a long skilled guy to take tua, brewster is neither Hasim Rahman may be skilled, but he aint that long. He held his own with Tua on two occasions.

You need a long skilled guy to take tua, brewster is neither True, but its hard to judge Tua at this point...We know he is grossly out of shape but after about 10 comeback fights he could be used to his old days. The state of the heavyweight division is hard to judge his performance as well. Best thing to do is sit back and watch what unfolds...

True, heavy hitter indeed and I dont think Brewster would back off of Tua. His instincts would probably get to him and "fight like a man" and trade which would be his downfall. The blueprint is what Byrd did to Tua..That was incredible it could be argued Tua was in his prime at that point. But conditioning will hurt Tua, Its not that he is fat its that he is Samoan and those people are naturally large and Tua is REALLY heavy.

Tua's time has come and gone. As much as I hate to admit, but Jose is right on the money with that comment.

Well, brewster has a good chin but, is there omeone out there with the power to knock him cold its Tua. True, heavy hitter indeed and I dont think Brewster would back off of Tua.

:gives: Tua has about a big a chance as Prince Naseem to become world champion again. Only "champ" he might be able to take would be Brewster. I dont know man, Brewster has a durable chin and isnt the slowest fighter out their today. He might be able to withstand and back off of Tua to counter him....Provided Tua doesnt tire.
