    King will get him fights, it's up to Tua to get into shape and take advantage of any opportunity. He threw away the shot at Lennox Lewis, coming in all fat, and acting like he was just going threw the motions.

    Maybesince Tua is older, and money may be gone, he will be more determined. I hope so, the more competition around, the better for us fans.

    Obviously, Tua's former promoter wasn't working. Even if King is a crook, at least he can still cash in on the Tua name.

    Word from NZ is Tua is training the house down. Source from Team Tua.

    yup exactly right. Turning down title chances against Rahman in late '03 and against Brewster in early '04 were unforgivable.

    I didn't say I didn't believe it, you didn't post it. You posted a question, not a statement. Did he or did he not sign with Don King?

    I think it's too late for Tua to have any real impact (pun intended) on the Heavyweight division. He missed the boat. He may make it to another title shot with Don King but he'd just pold his way to another lost opportunity.

    He should've taken that fight against Brewster but instead he wanted to fight on cheesey PPV's against journeyman. :-(

    I am hoping for a quick Promoter-change and a sudden flurry of activity.

    It can happen.

    Just heard from New Zealand sources that a big announcement is expected
    soon regarding Tua.

    Cannot tell if if is about upcoming fights or a change of Promoter or what.
