Tua via savage KO

Ali, whats with the reports on Heavyweights no one cares about? Do you feel bad for them or something?

I still think Tua is capable of making a run in the current heavyweight landscape. I look at the top 10 and there just aren't that many good guys on it.

I don't see coming close to beating either K-Brother and Adamek outworks him as well. He might be able to catch a guy like Haye, who has a shaky chin but at this point I see Haye beating him as well. I don't see Tua being top tier at all anymore.

Larry Holmes could probably still beat Arreola.

I think Muhammed Ali could take Arreola. He's looked so bad lately. He needs to fire his trainer and hire a dietitian. His wif is fucking hot though.

Honestly I think an in shape Arreola would still be pretty mediocre. I have not seen his wife, do you have a picture ?

Poor Barrett is gonna beat senseless again.

thanks for the information..my reaction is woopie what a challenge....

thanks for the update, but I can't help but think this will be postponed or cancelled. It seems nothing Tua does can happen smoothly.

I am still amazed commissions are granting Barret a license.

Tye Fields back in 2008, he's on a three fight losing streak.

At this point Barrett's chin is so gone he might KO himself from biting down on his mouthpiece too hard.
