David Tua Retires

Good. I hope he can get by outside the game. He was a tough contender and he gave us one of the great HW classics in the Ike fight. The only thing we should really be upset about is changing Ruiz forever. :yep

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!c:cus:crying

Damn, I was still holding on to the hope that he could pull it together, get focused and put a couple of wins together. His finances are still a mess.Oh well :sad2...

 

Good. Now maybe there will be less YouTube comments about the klitschkos ducking him.

 

:yep:good

 

Tue vs Ike included the most wasted potential of almost any fight through out history.

Prime Tua was a power house of incredible dimensions.

As was Ike!

Both could have done so much.... Tua still did some, but could have done so much more.

 

Thx for the rockin' memories!

 

Have a good life David :good

We will always have the brilliant memories.
Tua vs Ruiz :toney
Tua vs Ibeabuchi :bbb
Tua vs Rachman :toney

And let's not forget the phrase "getting Tua'd"

 

You'll be missed Tuaman

One of the hardest punchers ever for sure, with one of the sturdiest of chins

If only you had learnt how to block punches with another part of your body rather than your head and how to deal with a jab, you could have been a great champion

Still thanks for entertaining us with some great fights and plenty of brutal KO's

 

:good

 

Great Call !

 

Real shame, but its better than not being able to let go like holyfield, toney, jones jr etc. Woulda been good to see him have a go at wlad when he put some wins together from 01-07

 

Can't believe Monte Barret retired him, i thought he'd at least get one more title shot. Oh well....

 

Sad but it is the right time. Tua had an outstanding career maybe even a HOF career and he never won a title.

 

Two Gunz took his soul. Enjoy your retirement, Tuaman.
