Ive never seen a fighter like Tua.. he's knock out power reminds me of ''Iron Mike Tyson... and when he fought lewis ... Lewis was simpily running away from the fight....And i wonder if he would ever make back for title fight for the champion

his last few fights were pretty pathetic, he couldn't beat any of the big europeans.

The difference between Tua and Tyson is that Tua never had Cus and Jacobs's juice behind him tanking fighters before the bell rang for him, Tua was KOing those guys for real. No way will any of the current heavyweight "titlists" risk their belts against Tua, he would smoke them all, even the Kiltscho's. It's just not worth the risk fighting him if he can be ducked.

Tua needs more conditioning to get into the shape that he was in when he knocked out John Ruiz. His last few fights were against no-names. He needs to fight someone that isn't as tall as Lewis, because they'll use their reach advantage to stay away from Tuaman's dangerous left hook.
That being said, I doubt Tuaman can come back. I hope he will, but he needs to fight someone higher in rank.

I hope so he had great potential and was quite an exciting fighter something which the division seriously lacks at the moment. Possibly a fight with Mastev would be his best bet if he manages to get back to title contention, with his knockout power he would always have a chance.

Great Knockout power, but hes too short and his arms are too short to fight any taller opponents who can use a jab effectively such as Lewis. That being said I saw him knockout someone in the first round about 30 seconds into the fight.

To compare Tua with tyson is like comparing a mercedes with a hugo. I hate to say it and i don't even have to tell you which is which cause you know it without even having it pointed out. I would pay to see both of them fight each other today.

I think he could come back. As powerful as he is and the heavyweight division is so pathetic right now. He needs one big fight against one of these champions. If he fough wladimer Klitcho he could very well knock him out. He has no chin.

Tua has several factors working against him.
First, he's getting older instead of younger. {Who isn't, right?}
Second, he's too short.
Third, he's too slow.
Fourth, he's horribly overrated.

I think he will come back because if he is as good as you say he is then he should come back so keep your dreams high and keep believing.

in his prime he had good opportunities...he is simply not a champion, he should not consider coming out of retirement...
