    Am I losing it or did you change your av 4 times this weekend?

    Even though I don't think highly of Arreola, Tua certainly could have benefited himself and disposed of him (six minutes of work, tops) while waiting for this Cameron "megafight" to crystallize.

    Im thinking about the same, although I would like him down to 235 at least.

    230-235 would be a good weight for being very redy but I don't tink he''ll reach it.

    He looks very fat there.

    We will see,maybe he doesn't need to be 100% to beat Cameron.The question is how good is his 100% now comparing to 10 years ago......

    :think Indeed that is the question. I personally still think that he has enough left to become a champion with that chin and left hook. The problem with him is motivation and consistency. He can't continue to fight once a year or every two years and expect to do anything significant in boxing again. This is a golden opportunity for him. He better take it seriously.

    And does anybody happen to know Tua's old training regime, or what he is doing to get in shape now?

    Now, he's taking a month off after having been training since Feb/March. He's watching his weight, but not actively training. In Feb/March, he was lifting weights and doing roadwork with his fitness trainer, and doing rounds on the heavy bag. Not sure what else. As I mentioned earlier, he'll be bringing in Roger Bloodworth, his main trainer, and some top ranked sparring partners from the US in August. I see him getting down to about 235 for the fight on Oct 3rd.
