Anyone excited about this? Sure he's getting old and hasn't fought in awhile but a quick replay of the Ruiz knockout made me think that I might actually be interested in seeing him thrown back into the fray.

i like tua
bring it on :)
Tua's only 33 and hasn't taken a beating since the LL fight so he has had plenty of time to recovery...If he comes in shape and working with a good trainer he could still make some real noise in a divison lacking top notch talent....
with tua its all about motivation....I like Tua but he needs to be focussed...
He needs to shave off some excess blubber. Tuaman isn't as trim as he once was.
Absolutely, If he comes to the ring focused and in shape he could really cause some serious waves in the HW division.....Quote:

I don't think that he had quite as many tools as Mike did.Quote:

Tua was pretty remarkable when under the Duva's...even though he lost to Ibeabuchi he pressed the action the whole fight and in the last two rounds he put a nice spanking on Ike...If you think about it, David fought just about anyone that would get into the ring with him; Ibeabuchi, Ruiz, Rahman, Byrd, Maskaev, Izon and except for Moorer they were all in their prime at the time "The Terminator" fought them...pretty impressive....I just hope he has enough left in the tank and willpower to straighten the current mess out.
I would absolutely love to see him get his shit together and take on Peter.
I was thinking that same thing. Tua vs. Peter would be a hell of a fight. It's actually a feasible fight if Tua can put on a couple good performances against people who aren't total bums.
I believe you guys are right, there is only one thing standing in the way of Tua and a dynamic comeback... himself.
It's a desire/motivation problem.
If he's got them, no problem.
We sure do need someone to spice up the action but he needs to be fit and ready to fight regularly.
The Tua that sparked Ruiz is long gone
Back then he was like a young Tyson . Now he is like a modern Tyson
Oldschool Tua(vs. Ruiz IBeabuchi) would beat up Peter IMO.
I think a good boxer will always beat tua.Lewis showed how to do it with his jab.So i think Wlad Klitschko as long as he uses his jab and stays at long range and maybe even Valuev beat tua.
I wish he was about 8 inches taller and had about 4-5 inches more to his reach....
UN-FUCKING-STOPPABLE!!! IMO....
Tua is a somoan, just like mark hunt the pride fc fighter. they are all naturally thickly built. They tough as hell, i dont think they could get knocked out ???
he prob would whoop any heavyweight apart from wlad. and a few others unless he's focused!
you got that right ! CCQuote:
