Tua is his prime would be a champion today but at 37 I don't think he has it still.cameron & ahunanya are good fights to rebuild on.tua could get a shot just by his name.I remember in the 90's when most guys fought each other & earned their shots.it's pathetic that a guy like kevin Johnson gets a title shot.tua got 1 shot vs lennox & blew it by being out of shape.he never got a shot again.he lost an eliminator to chris Byrd & drew with Rahman in there second fight.Rahman who got the shot went on to beat lennox.tua fought ruiz(2 time champ),undefeated darrol Wilson(17-0-2),a war with David izon(18-1),oleg maskaev(1 title),lost to one ibeabuchi(16-0),Rahman(2time champ),gate keeper obed Sullivan.tell me he wasn't ready.he was out of shape & lost to lennox.he was close but Tyson,Holyfield,lennox were there getting the big fights....kevin Johnson beats Devon Vargas & a couple done names.it's easy to get a title shot.that's why ruiz & guys from the 90's still get big fights.they earned it fighting each other.today povetkin especially but chambers is fighting good guys too.most of the guys now basically get a title shot when they beat Barrett the 2000 gatekeeper much Sullivan in the 90's.in the 90's Sullivan was a stay busy fight for the top guys.so many trash toney,ruiz,Rahman,tua,maskaev.these guys fought each other & haven't been phased out because there is no one.

What kind of champion? Can he really deal with the hundred feet tall Klit brothers? and lets be real, they are the only real champs -
I just think guys fought way better competition in the 90's to get a shot.there were alot of great fights in the 90's.it wasn't easy & guys had to get in line for a shot at lennox,Tyson,Holyfield.In tua's prime he has no chance vs vitali but a good shot vs wlad.my opinion only!Comment

Yeah, the comp was 10x better back then and the Klits would have to work for all there wins.Comment

vitali is the best today & I believe would knockout wladimir if they fought.vitali is going to the hall of fame but his 2 fights vs champions of the 90's (Byrd & lennox were losses.wladimir klitschko stepped up in a wbo defence(not recognized as a world title then)vs corrie sanders(big puncher in the 90's,fringe contender at best)he got knockout in 2 rounds.wlad beats sanders he's got a title shot vs lewis but instead he couldn't get off the canvas to beat sanders.title shot gone.....a few years prior Rahman fought corrie sanders & got dropped twice,he was able come back & knockout sanders...his next fight he knockout lennox to win the title...wlads best wins are vs Byrd(twice)& Rahman(although rahman is shot).his win vs mccline,& Botha were other key wins in his career.Comment
