    He hasn't fought since September. And his legal case with his former promoter is still rumbling on.

    However, he is pencilled in for a fight in late March I believe, against the famous TBA.
    Whether it happens or not is another matter. Tua is simply not getting in the ring enough to be considered for a title shot or even an eliminator at the moment.

    If he doesn't do it this year, at least fight a top ten opponent, I don't think he ever will.

    Its a shame if Tua does'nt come back , ok he's fighting poor opposition , but looked good doing it. He deserves a fight with someone in the top ten , i cant see many beating him.

    Honestly, Tua's got plenty left in the tank. It's a matter of wanting it, not being capable of it.

    flatten today's heavy weights? He went the full route with Hawkins who was knocked out by Vladimir Virchis within 5 rounds.

    It seems as though Tua's desire and hunger is gone. He's one of my favorite heavyweights of all time and could still make some big noise if he was willing to stay active and get back in shape, but I'm giving up on him.
