He's an exciting fighter and has a solid resume and always comes to fight so I think it's good for the sport that he gets ranked highly so that he can give us much needed excitement in a HW title fight. On current merits he don't deserve top ten but he should be put there anyway to get him into the title shot mix which would be good for boxing and generate interest.
True. He needs to beat a top ten guy. Peter or Arreola? But there's lots of guys on my 4 alphabet lists that haven't beaten a top ten guy. Tua is WBO #3.
Personally I think Tuas being ranked in the top ten by all of the orgs will be a simple right of passage for Tua.......but i really dont think it matters too much where he is ranked. There will always be room in the boxing ring for an exciting fighter. I dont know if Tuas ever been in a better place than where he is at right now. If Tua is thinking what i am thinking,he wont being giving a flying rats ass what anyone thinks his ranking is or should be. He will fight his way up till he gets to the top dog, and whoever gets in his way better fight him or get the **** outa his way. I beleive he will give it his best shot to earn a shot at the title once again......inside of 12 months wouldnt surprise me either.
He has to be ranked by the fact that not many can stand with him. Klits get away on shear size and intellect(run away throwing jabs and following with right hands). Chambers can maybe do a chris byrd. Who else? Having said that he is a big ***** and a **** tease and won't step up. He want's a world title shot without fighting anyone. Haye is a refreshing change to the division despite being chicken **** and losing to Valuev. But even then Dave Tua by KO.
A step at a time. First Cameron. Then Friday. Then a top ten guy for a mandatory/eliminator. Then a Klit.
NO he has to beat a top ten to be recognized as top ten love tua but at same time the majority of times he steps up he has seemed to fail to show up albeit could have something to do with who he stepedup with [lewis] wrong style an to his credit in other loss to ike classic fight i belive in state of hw does deserve an earned shot an needs to step up comp after friday fight love to see him fight peter
So much talent with Tua and his great fight against Ike and incredible knockout to Ruiz. Damn is hard to believe he never had a major belt.
