Tua returns?

[boxingfan1]

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

[The Promoter]

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....

[Gandalf]

with tua its all about motivation....I like Tua but he needs to be focussed...

[BoxingGorilla]

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.....

yep....a focused Tua could really thow a wrench in things...and bring some credibility back to the HW division.....

[Bookkeeper]

I remember thinking that he would run the heavyweight division going into the Lennox Lewis fight, his style reminded me so much of a young Mike Tyson. I was wrong.

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

He also weighed too much going into the Lewis fight. Tua was most effective when he was around 220

[The Promoter]

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.

[boxingfan1]

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.

[The Whirlwind]

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

[Taeth]

Oldschool Tua(vs. Ruiz IBeabuchi) would beat up Peter IMO.
