problem is that Joe would be putting pressure on Tua which Tua is unaccustomed to from a short heavyweight. Lennox put Tua into a shell and even though Tua lasted 12 rounds, he pretty much was there to survive. Tua has incredible power, but he has not taken advantage of certain times to get fights made and win a championship. I think he should be more out in the open. There is a lack of confidence in him or his handlers.
