Tua is coming back

[SacTown1]

i'll always love tua for what he did to john ruiz

Word is born, he'll always get my respect for that one, couldn't have happened to a better guy than Ruiz!

[Drunken Cat]

Tua is still young. I think he can still fight and he should still have time to move back up the rankings. Hell he could still be a contender right now. We all saw how Kostya Tszyu and Tito Trinidad both came back from 2 year layoffs in top form. I dont see why Tua cant do the same if he trains hard enough.

I love Tua his great, i hope he gets back in shape end faces Tyson as a warmupp before he challenge Vitali.

By the way how old is he now?

[tri4ben2]

So what you are saying is that he needs to lose 60-70 pounds before you gys will take him seriously?

David Tua has always fought in spurts and when he goes crazy, the ref stops the fight, often prematurely in the case of Oquendo and Rahman 1.

I would love to see a fight between tua and tyson. That would be an interesting match.

[Mr. Ryan]

I'm not so sure Tua is done. Frankly, I can't say anyone is done at the heavyweight level. I'm reminded of former middleweight champion James "Lights Out" Toney, once considered a dead club fighter, being resurrected by his fights with Jirov and Holyfield. David Tua, Mike Tyson, and Kirk Johnson are always 1 punch away from redemption. I would like to see Tua in there with a Davarryl Williamson, Lance Whitaker, or a Danny Williams in his first fight. I'm not going to come up with any conclusion until I see him fight again. But I do think his motivation is financial, not just fistic.

tuas got a very solid chin, and his power is explosive. if he gets some sort of fitness i could see him getting a belt. i dont think anyone would ko him, except maybe vitali, but if lewis couldnt do it..........

[Keleneki]

Yeah, too bad about Tua's conditioning. If he were close to what he was for Ike, I would favor him against everyone except for Vitali, and even then, his left hook would give him a shot.

I would love to see a fight between tua and tyson. That would be an interesting match.

If it didnt end in 4 rounds could you imagine how much each man would be suffering from exhaustion????

One would die that night in the ring, neither are fit for a 10-12 round fight but I think Tua would be the one to take Tyson out.....

Tua is samoan, his genes keeps him fat he needs no mcdonalds.

[Kimmy]

I would pick Tua over Tyson ( prviding he is at a simular level as he was before his ring absence ). Reason? Because he`s got a better chin, he`s younger and has less ring ware. Also, Tyson hasn`t done anything since 1991 to suggest he can beat Tua. His biggest win since Razor Ruddock was over Frans Botha in 1999 and he lost every round until he Ko`ed Botha.
