    TUAMAN HAS NEVER BEEN CHAMP MATERIAL. I wonder when will you get that in your Thick Skull coconut boy?

    Not a then-current belt holder. But Ruiz, Moorer, Maskaev...stopped them, for instance.

    A fight with Arreola would still be a lot of fun. I didn't think that a fight with Wladimir would be competitive to begin with. I thought it would look a lot like his fight with Lennox, but this time due to age and Tua's chin degrading I think that Wladimir would stop him late in the fight.

    250 pound Fran Botha is a BAD-ASS for "5" rds. "Tua-Botha" would be good..

    :lol:

    Why should Tua who can't beat a shot Barrett fight Wlad who (while he was still green) beat a prime Barrett- knocking him down 4 times or something :huh

    Short, compact dude's like "Tyson & Tua" who swarm and keep the heat going RARELY pan-out after age 32 in the ring.......

    I first saw how Tyson had slipped for real in 1995 when he got away with his "I'm Rusty" excuse after his 3rd round TKO over Buster Mathis on national TV. The 1996 TKO loss to Holy confirmed just how faded Tyson's skills were becoming. Tyson at age 30 had fallen...

    Tuaman looked like **** in 2000 against the great Lenny Lewis. Tuaman was schooled by Chris Byrd in 2001 on HBO. Hell, I thought Tuaman looked like a slob in 2003 in his HBO draw with Hasbeen Rahman.

    SO! Here in 2010 are suppose to be inclined that this new version of Tuaman is better than ever before? Well, he ain't........

    STILL! I'd sign Tua up for one last crack at the title...... I'd pop a woody as long as the state of Texas if Tua gets a shot at V.K.'s WBC title in early 2011.....

    But, realistically, if I were handling Tua, I'd go after Holy's WBF title first on a reduced PPV value telecast........ It would sell.........

    Barrett was able to keep Tua at bay during some rounds by moving sideways and jabbing.... WITH NO REAL POWER... could you imagine Wlad??? That hard ass jab would but Tua right into a defensive shell and the fight would be over in 6-7.

    I still see Tua getting a shot. IMO the WBO will force it at some point. After watching the score cards from the Barrett fight its clear someone wants Tua to get a shot at Wlad

    Tua's WBO "Asian Pacific" belt it pretty flemsy.

    it was a 3-4 punch combo. He was hurt, not bad, but he was in trouble for sure ... had Barrett gone in for the kill, IMO Barrett could have finished him

    correct. and when barrett was moving and jabbing, Tua didnt throw at all. Like he was discouraged or something

    List of hasbeens Tua should fight.

    Briggs Briggs by KO
    Peter Peter by KO
    Areola Areola by KO


    All would be entertaining for 3 rounds, but then Tua would go into his one punch at a time, and be beat badly when one of the other power punchers found the opening.

    TUA looked bad in that fight.
