    Arreola will be yesterday's dog breakfast after tomorrow's brutal KO.

    Ruiz? An old grudge, everyone wants to see Tua KO him again, and he's ranked in the top 5. And he said he'd fight anybody.

    I don't mind Ruiz at all

    Marketing is a piece of cake

    But what if Arreola wins vs VK??

    Hehe

    I guess you were right not to think of Arreola, Diehard!

    Tua-Ruiz makes sense - but we wait and see

    I honestly would really like to see Tua vs Ruiz II; David might actually retire the guy (we can only hope).

    I asked thsi before but no-one answered; when tua wins, where will he be placed in the world rankings?

    Until the rankings come out afterward, I think it would be hard to say exactly

    Also - I don't like assuming the win too easily against Cameron

    I think he will win - but will need to show some real power

    shane cameron is ranked # 49 by boxrec, obviously an unofficial ranking system.... but cameron is ranked that for a reason, hes fought no one..
    so beating him impressively should get him ranked in the top 20...going the distance and looking sloppy...who knows..he will be ranked more on his potential and past rather than what he will do with cameron....i say no matter what he is in t 20 after this fight..assuming he wins

    Hmm, that sounds about right, wouldnt be surprised if he made it to the top 15 or maybe even to the 10 spot given todays HW division and boxing politics.

    Reassuring though, if he gets in the top 20 and beats a guy or two I reckon he'd firmly cement a high place (top 3).

    He's like an English Bulldog.....LOL, ready to explode on someone.

    What a powerhouse.

    Tua vs Peter..................OH, YEAH! Or Tua vs Arreola, even.

    There's some very interesting opponents out there for Tua, once he gets a couple decent wins, and really gets rolling, again.

    Go, Tua!

    I remember Tua looked deadly and extremely fit when he went down as low as 235 lbs to fight Chris Byrd. Then Byrd schooled him.

    I like Tua but I am not getting my hopes high on him.

    Tua had taken on a very weird ice-bath and nutrition regime before Byrd
    Lost too much weight too quick

    I think he is OK this time

    Tuas managerial problems were an issue at this time, I wouldnt belittle how much of an effect Kevin Barry and Martin Pugh were having on his psyche at this time. I think from memory Barry also was training him during this period too
