    Everyone says that. But McCline, Briggs, Brewster, Liakhovich, Klit, etc. have all lost and bounced back. Why not Tua? I think it's about how he loses, and who he loses to that's at issue. If he had lost a UD in a slugfest with Brewster, he'd still be in the hunt. Sure, it would set him back, but it would show he could bang with the A and B level guys.

    Looks like he's looking for that one fight, be it a Arreola or Brewster that could put him in contention for a belt. Pure and simple, he's not ready, at least in his mind. But at some point he's going to have to take a chance on losing to have a shot.

    Tua vs Ruiz would be a big draw. If Tua gets his act together, Tua vs Peter would draw.

    Tua must not feel he's ready to step it up yet. He's being carefully managed and every move is being perfectly calculated. However, he shouldn't wait too long, because he's not getting any younger.

    Brook, I wish I could believe that every move was being carefully calculated.

    I really feel like there is some pretty mediocre thinking going on in his camp -
    and I wonder greatly about his promotors. Something is not right.

    But he remains a threat and a "name". Don't leave it too long, David.

    Good point David D. "That Tua only had 1 title shot while John 'Mr. 19 Seconds' Ruiz has had 10 so far, well...no matter what you can say about Ruiz's flaws, when it comes to focus and applying himself fully he is streets ahead of Tua. Ain't that a kick in the head?"

    I'm not a fan of Ruiz at all, but he gets those title shots, credit for that. Tua should be managed by Ruiz, that'll get him at least 3 shots.

    That's what signing with Don King will do for you. Notice how Ruiz HASN'T had any more undeserved title shots since King dumped him?????

    Just stick a ****ing fork in his giant belly, cause he ain't goin nowhere and he ain't achieving ANYTHING for the rest of his career.

    Everyone, seriously, just forget about him, he's finished, done.

    There is a master plan to the level of his opponent in his quest for an alphabet belt: D,D,D,D,C,B(nope),D,D,B(nope).

    A????????????????

    Tua is done. He dosen't want to be a champion! If Briggs could position himself for a title shot so could Tua. Damn, if Tua wanted it, he could of had as many shots as Golota.

    Has anybody heard any rumors of who Tua might be fighting on
    Jan 26 (Tomato Can)?

    What about the "Top 20" guy after that?
