Tua has changed his mind a lot in recent years when it comes to taking meaningful fights. If he still wants to be a viable contender it is time he fought a live opponent. The winner of this fight would be ideal. -
Ha, Tua beat the Mexican Heavyweight Champion, Saul Montana.
I should know. I bought that crappy PPV.
I wonder if the winner's manager would match them up with someone as dangerous as Tua.Comment

i dont think either tua or arreola are gonna get handed a title shot so its come down to this.... they may actually have to fight for it!Comment

Tua, the last few time's I have seen him fight you should hear the crowd's boo him. Just stands there, does nothing. Another heavyweight who is past their prime but won't leave the ring. Money problem's or missing the days they were the man, who know with him but it's sad to watch.Comment

i saw him fight a complete bum named cerrone fox about 6 months ago. in tuas prime the fight would have been over in ten seconds, however this guy lasted into the second round and even managed to get up from tua power shots twice.Tua, the last few time's I have seen him fight you should hear the crowd's boo him.

i will predict arreola to win a wide decision over tua if they are to fight.Comment

At this point in his career, Tua is slow and one dimensional. If you can't get past him you really aren't a heavyweight contender.Comment

Tua and Arreola would be an interesting fight. Even though Tua isn't what he used to be it would be a decent name for Arreola's resume.Comment
