      I think a fighter like Arreola would beat him.



      Who is the fighter offering him little money? Who is Tua going to, to make a bigger fight offer? Tua seems content fighting no hopers like this new bum in march.
      Fighting Tua is a high risk/low reward fight so anyone that's rated marks Tua off their list because they don't want to risk being KO'd for a small payday. Tua would fight any of them.

        oh please. tua would be out worked and lose a ud to most of them. he's also lost a lot of his power. who the hell has he been able to knock out lately other then cans? the last time he fought a top 10 heavyweight was little chris byrd and he lost. tua's been finished for a while now. he's been avoiding top contenders for good reason. he's too damn slow and sluggish anymore

          He could have had an opportunity to fight on HBO against Arreola, but he passed

            No top contenders wants to fight him that's why he fights cans.

                bs,,he's turned down top 10 fighters. either he or his handlers lost confidence in him. he could have had brewster when brewster was still a top 10 heavyweight

                  yeah he'll be losing and outworked and then he'll land a punch that hurts them and finish them off.

                  typical fat tua fight.

                    tua couldn't get out of his maori tv contract.

                    he tried to work out a deal but maori tv refused to budge.



                    that's why he's trying to fight seldon and ahunanya before march.

                    he only has 2 fights left with them.

                      that was in 2007.

                      how many fights did tua fight in 2008-2009?

                      don't blame tua for how his management has been handled.

                      if tua has misgivings about fighting someone , it'll be a guy who is a slick boxer like byrd or a 6'7 supr heavyweight with a long jab.

                      not a short heavyweight brawler.
