    Shamrock, Tua's return should be downgraded to a whisper. He's done nothing in 21 months, and did nothing of consequence in his comeback? the previous 2 years. If Tua is gonna be a hiss and a roar, he needs to face quality opposition, or at least fight journeymen consistently. Now, a good way to start is to fight a good journeyman on June 6th, Cameron in August, and a top ten guy the end of the year. Then the roar will happen. Until then, boxing fans have a right to feel deflated or uninterested.
    See ya tomorrow Shamrock.

    I would love Tua to do something, but he won't.

    Realistically, there is only one way he can do anything.

    Fight every six to eight weeks against chumps to get in good shape (he won't).
    Even feasting on tomato cans, his name and history is good enough to get a shot. It worked for Briggs and Rahman.

    Then, finally, he needs to sign with Don King. Tua would have multiple world titles now if he had signed with King. And it's not like Barry and Pugh were all that great wiht Tua's money is it? As Larry Holmes said, he made far more money being ripped off by Don King than he ever would with anyone else.

    Thats funny statement from Larry Holmes sandman LMAO. I agree about King or maybe back to Duva? He seemed to be moving until Barry shut Duva out.. certainly not very quickly with Cedric Kushner!

    Ah oh, now I'm hearing that my hero Evander (in training for Tyson1) got in with a body shot that finished the sparring!? Anyone know about this??

    Thats probly true BF, but he wont just jump off the coach and do it that simple. He needs to get into sparring, right now he has done some conditioning training and lost a few easy Kgs...but what I hear is he isnt sparring yet and his fight with Shane Cameron is postponed till later in the year so that could mean a slowdown of motivation..? If he dosnt take an interim fight in the next 2-3 months, I can see the line clearly already someone else >

    **chin maybe. heart?!!! if he had heart the mu****er would at least train! he owed himself and his fans better but he didnt have it in him. let him eat his spam and kalua pig, he dont have the heart to be champ and never did. **
