David Tua did a lot better than Vitali against lennox

Tua had ONE title shot, and lost an eliminator to Byrd.

Give him the insane number of title shots that Ruiz, Rahman, Golota etc contined to get despite far worse performances than Tua, and Tua would have easily won a belt.

Tua's biggest mistake was having awful management and promoters (as well as laziness).

If Tua was going to get screwed - like he was and IMO is still getting - he should have at least thrown his lot in with Don King. He would have won several belts if he had.

 

That's true. I won't hate.

Vitali-Lewis was entertaining. But no one can deny Tua's chin and the way he takes punishment is elite.

He took bombs from guys like Ibeabuchi and Lewis like it was nothing.

 

I was dissapointed with David that night.I really thought he would go right at Lewis.He seemed content to just block as many jabs as he could and take the others.Right up to about the 8th i was thinking he was suddenly going to open up but nothing.I dont know if was nerves but he just didnt look his normal self that night.
Vitali was winning up to the stoppage and Lewis could not deter him from comming forward,we will never know how it would have ended but i certainly prefer Vitalis effort over David`s.

 

Ya.
He didnt throw any punches (very few).
He was there to survive.
Vitali was there to win.
Tua basically sucked.
Vitali looked great.
So **** off.
