    As long as he gets under 240 his weight is ok. But weight alone dont tell you if you are in shape or not. If you train serious and right the weight wont matter at the end. The most important thing is GOOD HARD TRAINING. You dont need to care about the weight as long as you train good and are a heavyweight.

    No way that Tua stops this guy. He went the distance against 6-12-2 James Lester.

    Tua is on the right road- the Riddick Bowe comeback approach of a "bum a year" club. He's also making sure he wins as unimpressively as possible, which can only help his case.

    This is just the calibre of opponent that will get people talking again. Come on people- Manuel "Quicka" Quezada is a former WBE superheavyweight champion! At only his second attempt! His two fights with David Johnson are arguably two of the best superheavyweight clashes EVER. Valuev picked on smaller men to avoid challenging Quezada's impressive place in the superheavyweight division.

    Just to further add to his claim, I bet Tua will intimidate Quezada by weighing more than him- the classic "Legend Killer" Danny Williams approach to beating superheavyweights.

    Tua will be champion by 2015 for sure.

    I would love Tua to get on a roll.

    But I think you need to stop hammering Tua, and start hammering Kushner. He has been ****ing rubbish as a promoter.

    Tua (according to a post fight interview I saw) said he wants to fight once a month. Kushner looked super unimpressed with him saying that.

    I wish Tua could just **** him off, and hire somebody decent.

    I expected the opponent to have something like a 15 22 6 record from the replies.

    This guy is not a good opponet, no, but he's not got that many losses. At least that something.

    You know - every time we start talking on the Forums about how
    lacklustre Kushner has been - suddenly there is an announcement!!

    What a coincidence!!

    Big question - can he actually KO a guy like this and get some real media attention?

    -It needs to happen....

    BTW - What's the date??

    He cannot be serious...fans have waited all this time for him to fight another bum. Just go home and retire already Tua...you're a complete waste of time.

    Tua is done. Nobody should need to "tune up" for this many years.

    It's over.

    He already turned down the chance to fight Briggs.
    In favour of more 'warm-ups'.
