    In a nutshell Willy, Tua's world has crashed around him. He is broke, been through a very messy public legal battle with his estranged management and his wife left him. Doubt he would really have his head in the right place to be fighting

    Tua is overrated by so many fans it's unreal. He was once a solid contender with a punch and a chin. His time has finished.

    Yeah i feel exactly the same.
    He will always have a punchers chance but not much else these days.

    Tua is meant to be fighting Shane Cameron, A Bum who got battered by Friday Ahunanya.

    If he wins he will probably get a shot at Arreola and get ktfo by that bum

    Tua was a BEAST in his earlier days hes the only guy to have blowen out Ruiz and did so in 19sec. However hes his own worst enemy getting heavy between fights, and not staying busy. His fight in 09 with Cameron is a big money earner and he should approach it was a MUST WIN bout as it will springboard him towards a title shot and a final big payday!

    Lets not forget the only guy hes lost to were

    Lennox Lewis - Greatest heavyweight of his era. Undisputed Heavyweight WORLD Champion

    Chris Byrd - Lost to a very slick, southpaw in Byrd who was at the top of his game. Byrd was also a multiple WORLD Champion lets not forget.

    Ike Ibeabuchi - An absolute WAR of a fight many thaught Tua won it and many thaught it should have been a draw. Great fight, and win or loose both guys cred jumped after that fight.

    I think he never reached his full potential but given the huge height disadvantage he has in almost every fight he did some good things.

    Personally if he comes in shape i think he KO's shane

    I would think he needs a warm up fight early 2009 before taking on Shane.

    I would like to see him back in the ring...some of his KO's are the most brutal in history. :good

    Tua really belonged in the 1980s with all the other talented Heavyweights that never fulfilled their potential.

    Shane Cameron was winning on all 3 judges scorecards before the stoppage you goose...

    Easy to call fighters bums behind a keyboard u wanker..

    You obviously dont know much about Tua..If u did u would know Even with less skills etc these days Tua wouldnt get ktfo by Arreola..

    I think this is a hard fight for Cameron, no matter how shot people think Tua is he still has Power and Experience.

    I wish Riddick would retire. He's going to badly hurt himself. He was already punchy...
