    Will he only come out of retirement to fight Vitali Klitschko?

    its 2:30 in the afternoon.

    Trust me, Tua "retiring" doesnt mean anything, he'll likely be tempted back for the winner of cameron/barett, since he hasnt got a pot to **** in financially.

    Tua needs to get into a gym and train like Hell, he can still make a lot of money, but he appears to be too lazy, always has.................

    Probs one of the great H2H nightmares in history.

    On his day he could probably knock out anyone. His only shot was against the best of his generation in Lewis. To dangerous for his own good sadly.

    I hope he does properly retire, not come out for some Commonwealth fight or something.

    Overrated, but he was one dangerous mother ****er.

    Looking back at who have one HW titles in the past, he was more than deserving of one. Hit like a truck and had a granite chin.

    don't think he was overrated at all really,he was very good at what he did,don't think he ever said he was the next coming of frazier at any point in his career.
    glad he is retiring though

    He never over hyped himself, however many others did.

    I hope he enjoys retirement, very exciting fighter.

    When Monte Barrett put him down, that was definitely the end. Barrett gets lit up by prime Tua.
