    The clock have already ticked for him Iceman, he just keeps with journeymen and doesn't step up. Doen't fight enough either. The writeup states he is back in April? He's always starting again.

    Must be hard to take.
    But how about channeling some of that anger into getting back into the ring and beating someone up? It's been about 5 months now since he last fought.

    They say he is going to channel his anger in the ring, but as you say its about 5 months since we've seen him Damon, and we're still waiting. Thing is, he'll probly fight another washed up fighter. Maybe he just needs lunch money

    For the last 5 years Boxing for Tua has become a job, no longer a goal or quest if you will, to the Heavyweight title. He is reduced to fighting nobodys to earn a paycheck, and it's obvious he no longer has the passion to train hard and eventually find his way to another title shot, Tua is no longer a threat in the Heavyweight division, his name is the only thing that earns him a decent wage for the caliber oppenents he's been fighting lately.

    Shamrock, another article in Sunday News says that Tua will fight a tomato can in April, and then be on Showtime in June.

    You're right Fra, he's always starting again with a tomato can with the promise of something better next time, then he leaves it an earth before he's doing anything again. Fans like us just lose faith in him. His name is boring now.

    Tua has no one to blame for anything but himself.

    His mate Inga Tuigamala seemed to think so. His last couple of fights suggest he can still punch, but then when the quality of opposition lifts his chances drop of delivery. Better opposition also means he could get hit back.
