    Tua doesn't deserve a shot just like Briggs doesn't. These have-been guys like Rahman, Toney, Tua, Briggs should battle it out between themselves before getting title shots handed to them on a silver platter.

    When Haye battered Barrett people were saying it still wasn't enough to warrant a shot at the Klits.... Tua gets a draw against the same guy and some clown comes out and says he deserves a shot... wtf????

    Thompson earned a top 10 ranking by beating some decent enough fringe guys in Timur, Guinn, and Krasniqi. He just recently stopped a solid prospect in Chazz Witherspoon. Tua got a gift draw against a gate keeper that had been KOed in his last two fights. So no, Tua hasn't done as much as Thompson in his comeback bid. Hilariously, Thompson also stopped Couser who was coming off a KO over the mighty Monte Barrett.

    I agree. Give the Samoan his shot.

    Basically, you're saying Tua deserves a shot because he can punch and looks to do so. Ok, so how about banging the drums for another George Foreman comeback?

    Tua is limited guy

    I like Tuamen very much but unfortunately in this game one punch its to weak advantage to be a champion

    i like Tua and think that a title shot isnt unfair, its very unlikely that he would last the distance with either K brother. So let the man make a last big pay day and then he can go back to fighting no-ones until he feels he is done.

    None of those cats draw PPV's or make money (maybe Toney, especially if he wins MMA fight, which won't happen but...), none of them have done **** to earn a shot, and in my opinion they should do a hell of a lot more than beat up each other to earn it, IMO.

    Makes no sense. First of all, why do you think he deserves on if you think he's lose anyway? Second, and maybe this should have been first...what EXACTLY has he done to deserve a title shot? I know the pickings are slim, and I would be happy to see him get one. But saying he deserves a title shot is a stretch. Tua hasn't a significant win since...Oquendo in 02?

    if you think getting getting dropped and receiving an undeserved draw from monte barrett is deserving then yeah.
