Yes - that's right. His fans have no idea where he is. His promotor says nothing. Kidnapped by aliens?
Actually - his weight has been down lately and he has genuinely looked good. -Close to 230 lbs - a good weight for Tua. But months go by and no news.........
He fought in Sept. Last I heard he was healing up from some nasty hand lacerations that he suffered when accidentally leaving his hand in the way while mauling a sub sandwich.
Tua had a chance to be something big in the business. That time I believe has come and gone. But with the heavyweight division the way it is right now, I guess anything is possible.
People always say this about Tua having "ahd the chance to do something" ect... but I don't know why. He just wasn't that great to begin with. I mean yes, he had a chin, and power... but his boxing skills left a lot to be desired, and he simply could NEVER solve a good jab. I think that Tua's talent's took him as far as he could go.
I don't think so mate..I think if Tua had better promoters he would've fought for a World title recently or at least have one scheduled.. Tua could KO any Champion out there right now and that includes Klitchko...Not sure anymore though..it seems that Tua wins a few fights..at this point your waiting to hear about a title shot that never happens and Tua disappears and repeats the process..I get the impression he just doesnt want it bad enough..a bit sad really :-(
I agree totally, though I think if we had a prime Tua fighting now he'd be a belt holder, I'd expect Wlad to do a Lennox on him still though. Tua's had what 5 fights in the last 2 years and has looked woeful, he's seemingly lost the desire, or taking a very long route back to the top.
Even though I think Wlad is more skilled all around..its a bit naive to think Tua couldnt KO him..in fact its very naive...especially if a hungry Tua shows up..it could be over quick for Wlad...Tua can be pretty vicious:twisted:
