He should take some more tune-up fights to shake off the ring rust, so I chose the first option. However, he shouldn't fight bums too long, and he should remain as active as possible, no more of this fight every 1-2 years bs.
It's prolly gonna be Rahman as some sources have speculated. But really he has plenty of options cuz he ain't getting a title shot immediately after.
He should look for a fight with Arreola or Peter, maybe Ruiz to grab some headlines. Then sign a Tony Thompson or Dimitrenko so he can practice getting inside and beating the hell out of taller guys who can box. Then look at the Klits. This is of course assuming he beats all the guys mentioned, and has enough left in the tank to go all the way.
i think tua has got it in him, judging from how he looks and how his trainers describe his work ethic, i think he can make a solid run for another title shot. first things first though: shane cameron
Thats the fight i'm dying for to happen cause style wise Tua can ko Arreola. I think Tua if weigh around 230's can ko either Arreola or Peter.
Which would mean he'd sit on his ass for years like he's been doing. He's not ranked by the sanctioning bodies, so they couldn't fight him if they wanted to, and they don't want to, since he brings no money to the table.
I read that the winner of Tua vs. Cameron gets a spot in the top 10 of some of the sanctioning bodies....
well IF he wins then that would put him in the top 10 in at least one of the sanctioning bodies , i heard on the ropes radio interview with john ruiz that he wanted a rematch with tua so maybe he still does , that would be a good fight , i would really like to see tua knock over valuev that would be awesome !!
Well said, Charles. I chose the same option. He needs to be active more than anything else. Calling out big names and waiting for someone to accept is a good way to sit around for another year without a fight. He needs to get what fights he can to stay busy and sharp, and maybe even get one of those special ESPN shows in the next couple of months, just to get back on American TV. Too bad Friday Night Fights is on a break, otherwise he could get some good pub just by being a guest in the studio. Besides, some of the names people are putting out there (Arreola, Peter, Thompson, etc.) might not be guys Tua can beat. Early reports are good, but we still haven't seen Tua in the ring in over two years. Who knows how he'll look.
