    In his sorry ass shape as much as it pans me to say it there is the possibility he might lose thie one,which would mean retirement.

    What are you talking about? He looks pretty slender. He also does look like Big George and he looks like he is on a gallon of red bull. Cameron looks like he is not sure of himself. This will end in three and will prove nothing.

    I'm not into that watching how they react to eachother in interviews bull****.

    In the Cameron interview he looks fat,his suit is pressing against his belly,about 260-ish.

    And currently he is taking a month off before restarting training.

    He(Tua) looked like **** in his last few outings and those were 2 years ago.

    I had to look at the video again, but unless he is sucking in his stomach throughout the interview when they were standing. He looked okay to me and maybe just maybe he will showcase his skills from the past. Cameron looked kind of nervous. Maybe he thought Tua was going to lose it or something. Again, this fight won't last and I hope Tua is serious this time out.

    Lets hope Tua channels this aggression. If he is truly "only getting started" then we are lucky indeed. What a great fight him and Wlad would be.

    Tua is tryn to hype up this payday in New Zealand but he knows theres nothing out there for him in boxing now, fighting for a title is out. He wouldnt be interested in fighting the Klitschko`s, its pointless and im sure he will be quite happy to make a little money in these kind of fights and thats it.

    I agree and the poster prior to your post, Vlad would beat Tua in the same fashion as Lewis. Manny would make sure of that.

    Catasyou - Tua hasn't taken a month off training, he's just training himself and not going quite as hard out as he was, afterall he's been training for this fight for months now...
    Tua also has another 3 fights to fulfill a contract with Maori TV here in NZ, so this isn't going to be his retirement fight.
    Tua is very upset with Cameron, he feels disrespected by the way Shane called him out, remember Tua has been going through a lot outside the ring, and at one point Cameron was calling him out while Tua was grieving the death of a family member.
    I'm pretty sure his weight is sitting mid to low 250's at the moment, and he's trying to come into the fight around 235ish, so all on track weight wise really.
    Agreed about fighting the Klit bros. Has boring written all over it.
    But there are plenty of good fights out there for him, Arreola, Peter, Haye, hell even Valuev

    Valuev, your joking? That would honestly look like circus. Tua has to challenge someone via tv like Cameron did. Call out Peter or Arreolla as you mention. I would love to see those fights take place.

    The circus side show element is exactly why this fight would be made, and I'd fancy Tua's chance TBH
    Valuev doesn't have any of the skills that trouble Tua, the good jab, footwork etc.
    True Tua would have a hard time landing on the giants chin, but we have a saying here - all trees are felled at ground level.
    I dont know how keen Arreola would be really - I know he was interested in a fight with an out of shape, semi-retired Tua a little while ago, but would he really be so confident against a Tua that had just had a couple of fights and was in good shape?

    Tua needs to train, but he has lost so many years eating Kirk Johnson's doughnuts.

    This is exactly the point I wished I had made, about Tua feeling disrespected. This could force him to get in shape- remind him of why he got into boxing. This could be a wake-up call.

    And beating Cameron will have a momentun of its own, as Cameron is relatively well regarded.

    This might actually bring the Tuaman back, and yes, he could beat Valuev and give Wlad a fine fight.

    Everyone would love to see Tua vs Arreola. A slugfest. And big PPV. A win would put Tua in the frame.

    Nah, he has no footwork, he would never get close enough to Wlad to even lay a glove on him.
