    Jogging is not about running fast...it seems to me you haven't done it ...




    I admire the dude, he is 41 - lost 40KG and he is trying on a man that is SO much bigger than him. I mean Ustinov is not the best boxer out there but he can surely bang hard. Respect to Tua for his efforts. Even if he loses, he is still a winner for having the motivation and the will to do it.

    I don't think folk are genuinely being disrespectful, but rather that they can see the writing on the wall. Tua is old, and this is comeback number...?

    No disrespect, just saying it as it is.

    When the big *hurdle* you can't get over is on the form of a middle aged Monte Barrett, its time to be real about how much you have left! LOL


    Kidding. I like him and his destroyer style, and I hope Tua gets in great shape and gets some big name fights before its over.

    Wow, congrats on getting all four belts and into the Hall Of Fame already :admin:happy

    You'd be lucky to get Tua as a sparring partner for many reasons and you can't figure out one of them :patsch :lol:

    Hey IWantToLearnEng.....i think you will be far better off learning respect before you even bother with learning English.:deal

    You have never stepped into a Pro ring and probably will be in for the shock of a lifetime:!::nut:shock:

    He looks in terrible shape, look at how slow he's running. Maybe its time he hang them up.

    Running 10kms + around Auckland city you would run that slow too champ.

    Yes, i believe Tua has been well out of his prime since 03/04 also...so what?

    He had a couple of terrible fights against Monte Barrett. He had no motivation for those fights, family issues (big thing for islander families) and he still managed to break Monte Barretts jaw with the last couple of punches he threw.

    Lets be honest, if a determined Tua (unlikely) like the one that fought Shane Cameron in 2009 came out and fought with aggression against 80+ % of the current heavies he would floor them.

    Sure not Klinchko level but i mean the Chisoras of this age would be fun to watch.

    Im a Kiwi so im bad for holding onto the career of Tua. I do believe IF he is in this for anything other than the money then he COULD still be dangerous :)

    Sry dog. It doesnt matter how motivatef he is, hes done. Thr times have passed him by. And those excuses have nothing to do with his losses. If he had anything left even an unmotivated tua wouldve beat barrets ass. Time to let go. Its over.

    Oh hell no, i was just stating what happened. I have no excuses for Tua :p

    Just look at those calf muscles though?! Dammmmmn haha.
    Oh well, ill hold on to the tiny bit of hope that those calves and determination have anything left.

    Dont forget, hes O for orsum. Or is it O for Old now? :huh
