Tua is irrelevant . He is a modern day Butterbean. Fat , has some name value and fights bums. (The guy is 15-19) Plus he's 38 years old. He should ideally go the Shannon Briggs route. Knockout 3-5 bums in a 6 month period and take a title shot and cash out.

Particularly when you consider Ruiz's 19 titleshots which he received after going about 19 seconds with Tua.
True that. Ruiz won at the right time (and had good connections to WBA) and got several lucky breaks (Toney's doping test, Jones leaving heavyweight) while Tua fucked up against Byrd, Rahman etc. Who would have thought after their fight that Ruiz would make the better career
