I feel sorry for David Tua

Agree.

 

He was exciting when he was knocking the guys out.......but when he was getting out boxed by Bryd and Lewis he looked pretty boring!

 

Winning a "title" is not as it was.

The fact is he was never material to be THE heavyweight champion

Guys like Rahman and Tua are the same level.

Yes Rahman is a "2 time champ" yet I dont think he ever defended a belt- wait aginst toney maybe LOL


Same thing Ruiz multi title holder but a top ten contender most of his career just like tua

Belts are overrated

 

He got gifts against Monte Barett, Cisse Salif and Robert Hawkins. I dont feel bad for him. He was/is a tremendous puncher but hes very one dimentional and has only one speed and gameplan. World class power and chin, C+ skillset.

 

Vitali dominated Lewis until the cut...

 

also not many heavyweights with almost 60 fights like tua, really sustained barley any punishment..long term or in the fight..of course goes hand in hand with caliber of guys he fought...but hes a healthy dude...but in reality...big guys his age aint gonna do roadwork anymore...and not much gym work...thats why its disturbing to see even though somewhat young, he looks like crap compared to what he used to

 

No need to feel sorry for him, adored in NZ just crap with money and lazy.

 

I thought David was supposed to be in some kind of great shape coming into this rematch. Everything I've heard from him is that he has increased his road work, his endurance, and his speed. He looked slower than McBride in there and as plumb as Solis aspires to be.:rofl

 

the only thing thats usually a guaranteed lie from the minute the words leave the mouth..is how hard a lazy/fat fighter trained "this time" and any ****ing promise a politician makes :good

 

With more attention to his fitness, less managerial issues and an once of luck, Tua would have won a belt somewhere along the way.

 

He was always overrated. His fans were/are way more into boxing than he ever was.

 

There use to be this other Samoan heavyweight who had tremendous power just like David named Jimmy Thunder

that guy coulda been a contendah with proper training

 

thunder could bring the thunder...he had a monster physique ....unfortunatley...250 guys will never have endurance like a 220 pounder..or a 160 pounder...they simply would have to do alot of cardio..and it beats the **** out of their body

 

Thats like saying Hatton wasn't stopped by Pac because the ref waved off the fight.

Lewis caused those cuts with punches.

 

you know...we should sticky this....this is so ****ing true
