    According to a certain someone this was an anticipated fight.

    Boxing fans were clamoring for it.

    Vote or DIE!

    Tua was signed on to a contract with a new zealand company I believe, so, Wlad fight would never happen

    The New Zealand TV company only has rights to show his fights. They don't dictate who or where he fights.

    And I have never said either Klitschko "ducked" Tua. However, did they offer him an unreasonable amount? Absolutely.

    I think I read somewhere that the Wlad camp gave Tua a call and Tua turned the fight down. This was right before they chose Chisora as the opponent.

    On a sporting level (at that time), Tua didn't deserve more money than Chisora. He'd just drew with Monte Barrett, so Wladimir would have caught flak for fighting Tua.

    If Tua had some means of bringing more money to the table then his management should have engaged K2. At the time it seemed like they were going to wait until Tua was coming off a win for better bargaining position. After the Barrett draw, the WBO made Adamek 1# contender instead of Tua.

    If Tua had gotten the win against Barrett Wlad might have fought him as a mandatory, and that would have been a better payday.

    Wlad with RTL, shite would never happen. Tua had to let his contract expire out before fighting Wlad

    Tua has been in no position to ask for a title shot in the last 6 years or so.

    its impossible for wlad to be ducking him.
