      Tua packs a solid punch but he's entirely too inactive to even be considered a small threat to the division at this point in time. Perhaps he could fight some of the lower ranked guys in the division but I don't ever see him being a threat to someone like Wladimir Klitschko. The talent that a guy like Klitschko has is worlds beyond what Tua is capable of.

        He looked to be in the best shape of his life. In terms of skills and reflexes though, he fought a nobody, so it's hard to gage. He needs to be tested against a McCline.. or maybe Vitali if he comes out on top against McCline. Depending on how he would do there, I guess in this heavyweight division, he has a shot.

          The talent that a lot of guys have had has been ''worlds apart'' compared to Tua but a lot of those guys have ended the fight looking up at the lights. Tua needs to keep fighting and slowly upping his competition. One thing he does now maybe have which he didn't previously is more knowledge, but he needs to be in top form physically.

            I doubt Tua could even get inside Klitschko's jab, let alone knock him out. It's far too early to tell if Tua is "back" or if he just looked great because the guy he KO'd wasn't spectactular. But I'm interested to watch his future unfold.

              I wouldn't doubt it, Wladimir still has a suspect chin to me, plus Tua can hit harder than Cory Sanders & Lamont Brewster (the 2 guys who floored him). Granted, Tua needs a couple more warm-up fights against a lil' stiffer competition but pressure & steady head movement while staying low can whoop Wlad any day of the week. Tua did a good job against Rahman, I'd like to see that rematch & another fight b4 he takes Wladimir. Can U Dig Dat?!?

                Wladimir's critics will always call his chin into play. Perhaps Tua could knock Klitschko down if he landed flush but I doubt he could even get inside Wlad's jab at this early stage of his comeback.
