I still think he deserves a bit more time, yes he looked bad in his comeback fights, but he still won, and he got a lot of rounds under his belt. he was out of boxing for two years. he needs to improve now though, no more chances. Tua's big problem over the years were his lack of some of the fundamentals, he couldn't get himself into good postions, to be able to fire off his shots against good slick boxers.

Unfortunately it might be too late for the Tuaman to learn new tricks, getting his weight down would be a good start though, he needs to be throwing a lot of punches a round like he used to in his prime to make any sort of impact. Tua is one of those guys that will probably end up another wasted talent, he had an iron chin, unbreakable will and heart, a huge left hand, a quick overhand right, and a good uppercut. in his early days he was sometimes likened to Mike Tyson because of his fighting style, but thats were the comparisons ended, because Tua is nothing like Tyson outside the ring, he's reported to be a humble, sincere, well mannered family man. i hope Tua can recapture some of his form, if he does well enough he could maybe settle the score once and for all with Rahman.

I've just seen that he's backed out of another fight, this time with Shannon Briggs, thats another disapointment.
