    Based on what I've seen of Kali in the past and based on what I saw of Tua this weekend, I think Tua stops him early.

    From Tua's perspective, I think this would be a step in the right direction and is a very winnable fight.

    Some of the pre-fight talk included the winner of this one (Tua) fighting Rahman next.

    If Tua comes in like he did against Cameron he stops Kali pretty early too.

    Yeah I can't see Kali beating Tua. A few more fights & Tua will be a nightmare for any heavy out there. Wlads chin would fail him again if Tua's left hand reaches it. Not sure about Vitali though. I see a very similar fight to the Lewis/Tua panning out. Vitali doesn't get enough credit. He's definately No.1 heavy in the world without doubt.

    Lets just wait n see were Tua's at before we go pumping his tyres up he's just beaten an ordinary opponent in Cameron,I think a few of u's are jumping the gun,ill get on the bandwagon when he pumps a decent opponent not a cardboard cut out..... :patsch

    Tua will knock Meehan out. Too bad if the fight happens, because Meehan is a good fighter, and probaly should have a WBO championship for his fight with Brewster. But Tua, iwth his knockout of an undisputed champ (Rahmen), a lineal champ (Moorer), and two other titelists could very easily end up being remembered as a minor great if he does the right things from here on in. He is just on another level.

    Its hard to turn back the clock in life let alone boxing....Tua did that against Camaron.

    And I'm not talking about the ko...I'm talking about the head movement and the increased evasion while getting in close.

    Meehan called out the Tua vs Cameron winner. But no way he'd fight Tua now.

    Mr Higgins, the Tua/Cameron promoter of FOTC, is trying to get Rahman in with Tua on Dec. 13th. A venue in Auckland has already been reserved for that date.

    What has Rahman left to offer, apart from name recognition?

    Well if he can't beat Rahman he isn't beating either Klitschko. I reckon fighting Rahman or Meehan next and then someone like Arreola or Peter would be the way to set up a title shot.
