Saddest moment in boxing, David Tua getting knocked out.

From the short right hand which landed across the chin. The headgear Tua was wearing went into Savon's face. If anything Savon should have been hurt from that.

Savon was like 24 when he stopped Tua. Savon also weighed the same as Tua in the ring, which if I remember correctly was 205 pounds.

It's a shame Savon was a loyal communist. He definitely would have been a long standing heavyweight champion with that type of bone crunching straight right hand, jab, and boxing ability. He was much lighter on his feet than either Lewis, or the Klitscho brothers. His chin would have likely been better as a pro also, since the 6'5+ Savon, would have been able to let his body fill out to around 240-250 pounds of muscle, instead of of the 205 pounds he fought at as an amateur. Not sure which was a bigger waste of unrealized potential and talent, him or Ibeabuchi.
