Any TUA RUMORS??

I like Tua. But he's done sad to say

 

The Brewster fight was turned down because apparently conditions stipulated that neither boxer was to fight 6 weeks before the bout was to be held.Tua's camp came out and said after the Hawkins fight that wasn't going to allow them time to fit in another tuneup before facing Brewster,that the plan was to have him fighting more often.And then they go and do this...:-( I'll always be a Tuaman follower but his periods of inactivity are really frustrating

 

I heard a rumor that he was a short, fat, Samoan.

 

Maybe he signed a deal for a certain number of fights - so Kushners going to try and maximise the cash - while doing Tua's career ZERO favours.

 

OK so if Tua's stuck with Kushner for now there's nothing that can be done.But why isn't Kushner getting Tua into the ring as often as he should?

 

Dead right. He just keeps on taking far too long between fights, and when he does he's fighting low level guys 'to shake off the ring rust' which he's accumulated since fighting the last tomato can.

He hasn't fought a guy of any value since getting a dubious draw with Rahman in '03.

Even if Tua suddenly gets a title eliminator or something, he'll be sorely unprepared due to the weak and infrequent fights he's been having. You still get the impression that a jab and some lateral movement will be enough to utterly bamboozle the guy.

Nice guy, killer power and great chin...but you'd have to label him a big underachiever, even with his management problems. The door's not shut but there's only a small crack of light left, he seriously needs to get a move on.

2 years later he beats a stiff and he is the saviour of the division!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

at least he is more fun to watch than the klitskos...

 

you search for a two year old thread just to say this?? sad, truly sad:-(

 

Classy.

 

Tua has been spinning a (fat) web for nearly half a decade now: win a few easy fights, get a hype train going, then bugger off and get even fatter for a while. Then we have to endure crap like "Tua will be a champion" for a few months, before people once again forget fatso exists.
