    David Tua turned down Lamon Brewster.

    Tua turned down Lamon Brewster for his May 19th fight, preferring to stay busy with confidence building fights. Tua is coming off of a pedestrian decision win over Robert Hawkins. Lamon Brewster hasn't fought since 2006's hell and back loss to Sergei Lyakhovich in which he suffered a detached retina.

    Will either of these guys ever fight a top ranked opponent again?

      smart move by tua. not that i dont think tua isnt capable of beating brewster but he needs to get back into the bigtime scene slowly just like shannon briggs did

        Brewster will try sooner, but I don't think Tua wants to be challenged. He is just getting paid at this point. Eventually he is going to give one last shot because he'll pretty much have to, but Tua will just lose again like he always has against the elite and vanish for good.

            Is Brewster looking for opponents? I think him and Liakhovich should fight a re-match, Liakhovich needs to get back in the ring and Brewster needs to avenge his loss.

              i think tua matches up well w/brewster... he's more durable and LB will be right in front of him to hit...

                While everyone would love to see it, I'm not so sure Brewster would be so eager to rematch Liakhovich. Brewster looked so beaten down by the end of that fight. It was impossible to watch it and not feel really bad for him even before the whole torn retina business came out.

                  Tua is easily beatable if you have the reach advantage. Just jab him all night it will neutralize him completely.

                    brewster doesnt fight like that though.... it would be a war with tua coming out on top cause he's more durable...
