    Sorry to break your butt Tua boys but...

    Austin knocks out washed up gate keepers like DaVarryl Williamson.

    Tua gets dropped and earns gift draws against washed up gate keepers like Monte Barrett.

    Austin is actually more deserving than Tua.

    Honestly the days of Tua deserving shots are long over. He didn't turn out to be much did he. And he didn't do much with his shots. I don't know if Ike ruined him or what but damn.

    Tuas effort against Lewis was pathetic , in some rounds only threw 2 or 3 punches . He had his chance and blew it .

    Austin only gets title shots because Don King get them for him.

    Tua doesn't deserve one because he fights guys we never even heard of on PPV.......................and since he's making decent money doing so he doesn't need to fight for a title against a real challenge.

    Tua would get his ass handed to him by The Klits or Haye & probably most of the rest of the top 10, which is why he fights nobodies instead.

    Jane you ignorant slut......................

    Wlad didn't pick Austin you *******, Don King had Austin made a mandatory defense. Wlad fights all his mandatory defenses & any top ranked fighter that will fight him. Now pull your head out of your ass....................

    As many have said, and you too, I agree, it's Don King. I forgot King promoted Austin.

    And for the record, I'm not saying I think Tua deserves a eliminator or would win one or anything, I just figured he deserved one more than Austin.

    :good

    When Vitali retires it'll be Valuev vs. Austin for the vacant WBC. King will price hbimself out like he already did when Vitali offered Valuev his biggest payday ever even though he didn't have a belt anymore. They wanted TWICE as much :patsch

    Boytsov, Helenius, Stiverne, Fury, Povetkin and few others would all be interesting matches vs. either Klitschko.

    It is simple. One guy is a Don King boxer, the other guy isn't.

    I could give a damn is Austin was mandatory or not, I believe Ruiz was up in line to fight Lennox Lewis but did he fight him? Why fight a fighter who is **** just to keep hold of a belt?

    My mom could beat Ray Austin for crying out loud. Are you telling me Rahman was the number 1 contender when Wlad or Vitali faced him too? Nope they both just pick 3rd rate fighters so they can keep the title longer than they should of.
