    No, you're confusing Tua and Golota.

    Golota is from Korea, Tua is from Botswana.

    He's samoan but grew up in New Zealand. I don't know man, I haven't seen him posting in quite some time. Hope he comes back, this forum is much better off with him.

    I thought he might disappear after Oscar retired for good though :yep

    Closer than you might think. There are a lot of cultural connections between Samoa and Hawaii and Tua definitely has that Māori look about him.

    i know that. Many Samoans live in Hawaii. He DEFINITELY looks like he's from Hawaii...I just always assumed, never thought twice about it.

    I think Tua is possibly the smallest Samoan in the world... those guys are some genetic freaks!

    I think he may have offed himself. Although in fairness he could just post those funny Hopkins stories.

    Dunno.

    You are right. But, I was comparing Ike's resume to Vitali. Vitali's resume is really weak. Wlad's is okay, (but I did forget about Wlad beating Byrd silly...twice...my bad)

    Clueless. Ike's resume is ****. He has boxed only one 12 round fight in his entire career.
