David Tua wastes another year of his life.

what happened to the arreola bout they were talking about, hopefully they can still put that together for november

 

Tua is gone,altough him and Brewster would be good.Who losses retires

 

A year away from the ring makes me wonder if Tua even wants to fight these days. Maybe he just doesn't have the fire anymore, and I can't blame him if that's the case. Boxing is a tough way to make a living. It's hard to put the blame entirely on his promoter, though. With the heavyweight division the way it is today, KO'ing a few C level fighters in a short period of time would lead to a good money fight for a guy with Tua's name.

 

Tua's been done for a while now.

 

Good post.

Some of the problems Tua's had is with his management and there were stories of Kushner holding out for more money for Tua.

In my opinion he is completley ****ed and we wont see him in the ring again. I hope I'm wrong though.

 

It would be a shame if Tua's career ends this way. He's only 35 and he has less milage on him than most boxers that age, seeing as how he took two years off after the Rahman rematch and he's been off for a year since last September. It certainly seems like he could have put together one of those runs like Shannon Briggs did to get another shot.

 

Tua is done. I think he has givin up mentally which is the beginning of the end

 

^But he can still KO just about anyone in the division. If he gets the right trainer and right motivation at the right time he can be HW champ.
It's surprisng Tua has never held a HW world title.

 

Winner and loser should retire. :shock:

 

Yea, if he was serious about trying to become in the Heavyweight picture again he would fight way more often. He's finished.

 

I used to like to watch Tua fight, but now I am truly frustrated.
