Tua's fight with Ike Ibeabuchi was one of the greatest fights in heavyweight history. Both of those guys had great potential and the fact that Tua was a fringe contender (at best) shows the depth of that heavyweight class. Contrast Tua with some of title holders and "contenders" in recent heavyweight history. I think the main points have been hit sufficiently, but I think it's interesting to look at it from the context of how deep the talent pool was back then.
