    YES!!! YES I HAVE!!! Which is why im so suprised your saying this!!! arreola doesn't possess good boxing skills and is not that big of a puncher. add this to his soggy physique and you have an opponent damn near tailor made for the likes of tua. arreola cant stick and move, his only choice (and all he knows) is to get inside and trade. two words describes what wiould happen should arreola get inside with tua: LEFT HOOK. nuff said

    Ibeabuchi would ktfo Arreola badly. Ibe is the only fighter that stand toe2toe with tua in an awesome fight that last the distance. Arreola wouldn't last the distance with that same version Tua. I mean damn if a fighter like Walker can knockdown Arreola, imagine what Tua can do to Arreola once he land the left hook?

    Rahman would be a great opponent. He never had a good chin to begin, and it's only gotten worse with age. If Tua has anything left he should be able to knock him out impressively, as so many others have.

    Therein lies the question. What does Tua have left?
    Plenty I hope! We find out this weekend (as long as Cameron can stand the heat for a few rounds)

    I voted Ruiz, I dont care what the best fight for Tuas career is, I just wanna see it again lol

    Ruiz would probably last a few more rounds this time, but really he should just fight any legit top 20 heavyweight, pref one with long reach, then back it up with a top 10 guy, then if hes still around, go after Klit JR :)
    Thats a big if, heavyweights are bigger now than even only 10 years ago when Tua was last around.

    Tua needs to fight some really tall opponents before attempting to challenge a Klitchko. Lennox's size gave him problems, he couldn't ever reach him, and both Klits fight taller. He needs to get used to the height difference before going down that road.

    Yep, Tuas shorter than Tyson was, I just dont see him reaching VKs chin unless he practically leaps across the ring at him. Thats why Rahman gave him trouble as he has long reach for his height

    I picked Ruiz because the pace of the fight would allow Tua to gain some rounds without gassing out at any stage.

    having said that the KO is just around the corner if Ruiz ups the pace to create a weakness in Tuas ability to time his shots.

    How does Ruiz maintain that high ranking anyway?? Is he really that good or what?:huh

    Well hes a Don King fighter and Don probably still has a lot of sway with those alphabet monkeys, Sulaiman and Gilbert Mendoza etc, and he has also beaten some good fighters, not for ages though I guess

    good point, if tua could find an opponent thats at least 6'6 with a good reach and beat him, he could get a feel of what it would like to fight a klitschko. or that could be his sparring partners (that is if he wont keep sending them to the hospital :D)
