    Tua wouldn't even be able to reach Valuev's head.

    I have no idea why you have the LOL after the fighting David Haye option. Anybody who can punch has a pretty good chance to defeat Haye. That's why he ran to fight the caveman who hasn't KO'ed anyone in what?...three years?

    I picked the fight with Ruiz as a next step for Tua....i think Tua could beat Him again hands down but that might just make a few other fighters nervous and that might just make it harder to secure regular fights after that?

    He really needs several more fights before we start thinking too hard:think about title fights dont you think?

    How long will it take for Tua to be fully fit for a twelve round action packed slugfest?? when he gets to that stage then its open season for challenging the Champions. His first step on this journey of his starts on Saturday when he fights Shane Cameron.:good

    He was offered an Arreola fight and backed out of it once before. He doesn't have a leg to stand on to call out Arreola.

    How about Tua vs. Toney. Loser has to retire.

    the "lol" was in favor of tua, i know haye has a suspect chin. and tua would would be an absoulte nightmare for haye. i like haye, but tua would cave his face in via left hook.

    Woah. What?

    If Tua destroys Cameron, he doesn't have a leg to stand on to call out Arreola? Who's coming off being humiliated and dominated by his first world-class opponent? When Tua's own last loss was years before Arreola even turned pro?

    Really?

    I don't know the details of the previous offer you're referring to, but that doesn't really have any bearing. If Tua shows up in spectacular shape and destroys Cameron, even with not being televised in the US, there will be some buzz. He will be hotter than Chris. Arreola just built up some nice HBO hype momentum, sure - but to say that he's in some sort of untouchable position above Tua is just flat out wrong, buddy.

    HW division is loaded with cockroaches and dinosaurs, these "named" guys need to start fighting each other! I don't think he should fight one of those guys, he should fight all of those guys before coming close to sniffing the top.

    C'mon now, Arreola offered an out of shape, semi-retired Tua a fight for $250k US.
    Tua is now earning similar money for fighting Cameron at his leisure and with plenty of time to get in shape.
    Out of those options I know which I'd take, Camerons no where near as dangerous a fight.

    Arreola's not dangerous for Tua, unless Tua's had a chin transplant from a milquetoast donor.
