    :clap: 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

    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...

    Good. Now maybe there will be less YouTube comments about the klitschkos ducking him.

    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.

    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

    Can't believe Monte Barret retired him, i thought he'd at least get one more title shot. Oh well....

    Sad but it is the right time. Tua had an outstanding career maybe even a HOF career and he never won a title.

    Two Gunz took his soul. Enjoy your retirement, Tuaman.
