Tua DISAPPEARS

some people thought the same heading into his fight with lewis, then he got utterly schooled.

 

What is the fascination with this guy anyhow?

He has not been on the radar for years.

 

Joe Mesi versus David Tua, The winner fights for a title and the loser just goes away.

 

I pretty much agree.

 

The last time I saw him fight he looked real good. He was boxing
well utilizing a good jab and his punches were as powerful as ever.
He also looked great physically. He had lost a lot of weight and
seemed more muscular than I remembered him being even in his
youth. Now, he just fades away again. WTF. Maybe he has mental
problems or just doesn't want to go through the pain and sacrifice
necessary to face off against the big dogs like Wlad, Chagaev and
Peter.

 

He looks good against guys woken from the dead

 

You mean like zombies? Those zombies are scary as hell and very
hard to kill.

 

I would like to see this fight, if Mesi stays away from the left hand he easily outworks this faded version of the disappearing tuaman and likely TKos him, if he gets caught Tua has his biggest win in a long time and a title shot. Tua doesnt want to fight anyone good though he jsut wants to stay busy and make some $$..... though im a fan im starting to think the same of Mesi, he just likes being in the picture and being a notable personality. CEsboxing is going to announce his next opponent any day now, lets see if its another Shannon Miller shitbag type guy :deal

 

tua needed to disappear his career had already left

 

Here is the latest picture taken of Tua with a fan. This was 3 weeks ago.......

Nope, Tua has bigger legs and traps.

 

Tua, Mesi, Virchis, the time is running out on them. Either they step up now and make a run at a belt, or they can just walk away for good.
Tua had a good chance against Arreola and turned it down.
Mesi had a good chance against Minto and turned it down.
Virchis is highly ranked everywhere, had a chance to fight Dimitrenko and turned it down, now he can get mandatory status against Gomez, but it seems he is trying to avoid it.

 

It looked like Tua finally got the message, fighting in August and September, but since then...nadda. And so any momentum drains off again.

If Tua doesn't beat a top ten guy in 2008 and get in line for a title shot, then he needs to just retire and stop wasting everyone's time. 7 fights in 3 years, especially against the low level of opposition he's been facing, will get absolutely nothing done. Worse, it may be knocking off ring rust (though Tua's inactivity puts it back on), but does not help at all with preparing him for the top heavyweights out there.

That Tua only had 1 title shot while John 'Mr. 19 Seconds' Ruiz has had 10 so far, well...no matter what you can say about Ruiz's flaws, when it comes to focus and applying himself fully he is streets ahead of Tua. Ain't that a kick in the head?

 

Tua will be moving up to "C" level competition in 2008. Mark my words. The surge has begun.

 

:good

Then if successful, in 2009, he'll move up to the C+ level opponents.

Onward and upward. We are closing in on the B level, and fast.

2010/2011, at the lastest, will see Tua rising to the challenge to face the likes of Davarryl Willaimson and Lance Whitaker.

Kidding aside, I think if Tua doubts he's ready to step up, he shouldn't do it, yet. Because a loss, now, would really set him back, to say the least. But it sounds as if his fighting pace is almost an after thought. If he's progessly slowly, it sounds as if its cause he never gets in the ring. LOL
