    Tua would squash Tyson like a bug. Tyson gets hit way too much these days. Now, if he could get back even a fraction of the head movement and agility that he once had...

      Tua is an awesome fighter if he gets in good shape he could beat either Ruiz or Brewster.

        It doesn't say who he is fighting, but I am going to guess that it is a guy with one foot in the grave, if you know what I mean.

        It also says that he weight 135kg, which is just under 300 pounds, and less than the 330 it says he weighed before.

        So the question is, is this Mike Tyson wannabe who blew through the 15-20 Million he made in his career and has to fight, going to be anything more than a punching bag for a top 10 fighter?

        I have no doubt that his next 4-5 fights coming back will be KOs, but can this "never was" be a "can be"?
        300lb? not too far off his fighting weight then, ha ha!!

          If Tua still has the power and the chin he had years ago, he could do some DAMAGE in the hw division! those samoans got hard ass chins, although i personally don't think Tuaman was ever quite he same after he went 12 with Ike Ibeabuchi, but that one punch power gives him a chance against any hw in the division now, if he can get down to his "prime" fighting weight of like, 260 lbs. i'd like to see him fight Ruiz agian for the WBA belt, but Ruiz wants no part of david Tua. he's probably still wondering how that truck got into the ring and ran him over last time

              At least he can be xciting!
              When I watch Ruiz piling up boring performances I crave for a rematch with the Tua man

                Tua was lethargic at around 235 and up,blowing up to 300lb's is gonna have a long term effect on him.He's done.

                  lets make him a champ.. give him a rematch against ruiz
                  ruiz will literally die.

                  i think vitali has the better chin tho... never knocked down and took punches from lewis and sanders.

                  tua (don't kno if hes been KD), but he was against rahman in the second fight,( i kno it was after the bell). still it'll be good to see him back

                    Can't wait to see what he brings. Maybe Ruiz should just handover his belts.

                      u know whats funny...we say thank god for tua ko'ing ruiz back then..but...if u think of it...tua is to blame for ruiz...ruiz started this hugging style after the tua fight...he was never the same and that was not good for us, cuz know we have to see ruiz as champ...so tua is to blame for this...so i say he has to get rid of it now and return to ko ruiz again
