Good. I hope he can get by outside the game. He was a tough contender and he gave us one of the great HW classics in the Ike fight. The only thing we should really be upset about is changing Ruiz forever. :yep
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!c:cus:crying Damn, I was still holding on to the hope that he could pull it together, get focused and put a couple of wins together. His finances are still a mess.Oh well :sad2...
Tue vs Ike included the most wasted potential of almost any fight through out history. Prime Tua was a power house of incredible dimensions. As was Ike! Both could have done so much.... Tua still did some, but could have done so much more.
Have a good life David :good We will always have the brilliant memories. Tua vs Ruiz :toney Tua vs Ibeabuchi :bbb Tua vs Rachman :toney And let's not forget the phrase "getting Tua'd"
You'll be missed Tuaman One of the hardest punchers ever for sure, with one of the sturdiest of chins If only you had learnt how to block punches with another part of your body rather than your head and how to deal with a jab, you could have been a great champion Still thanks for entertaining us with some great fights and plenty of brutal KO's
Real shame, but its better than not being able to let go like holyfield, toney, jones jr etc. Woulda been good to see him have a go at wlad when he put some wins together from 01-07
Sad but it is the right time. Tua had an outstanding career maybe even a HOF career and he never won a title.
