    Didn’t Ibeabuchi say the same thing a year or two back?

    I smell a long overdue rematch cooking. Possibly for the WBA Regular belt if the timing works out right. That seems to be the old timer heavyweight belt at the moment :lol:

    If he's got himself in that condition naturally, or at least fairly naturally, he's done well. I'm not really clued up on PEDS.

    But I hope he's not seriously considering a boxing comeback.

    Maybe all this big Saudi money, and YouTube boxing money that's around these days has got some old timers thinking about making a quick quid or two.

    Maybe His Excellency could put on a few over 50 classic bouts. Tua would certainly figure.

    Probably hoping to get on a Saudi card, the undercard fighters are getting paid well by the Saudi`s, they`ve got money to burn.

    "This isn't some boxer that was obliterated by early injury or a national stance against pro boxing. David Tua had his shot and nature selected him for retirment!" Dr Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park on David Tua

    Tua vs Roid Jones Jr would be hilarious. Over 20 years in the making!

    It's speculation from the author because Tua has been getting in shape that's all. Tua himself hasn't said anything about considering a comeback.

    Doesn't matter what shape he's in since I can't imagine his footwork getting better with age.
