David Tua returned to the in Auckland, New Zealand and performed one of his last second knock-outs to win a fight against journeyman Talmadge Griffis in the final round of their scheduled ten round bout. details]
For being 43-3-1 (38 KOs), I think Tua CAN fight. Lasted 12 Rounds to Lewis, Byrd, and Ikeabuchi, so Tuaman can hold his own. At least he doesnt get destroyed like other heavyweights. Come on Munn, give him some damn credit...
Hey, Tua just needs to go all out in attack mode like he did with M . Moore. If he would of just threw punches hitting anything as long as it was connected to the body, in the Lewis fight he would of connected eventually and won by KO looking like a warrior but he was trying not to lose looking cute.
Hey dude in Holloman AFB.. I used to be stationed there at White Sands Missile Range 1975-78. The Army had one unit there at Holloman AFB. Alamogordo; Las Cruces; UNMS Albuquerque; the Lobos and Juarez; Ft Bliss We have a Samoan married to an Mescalera Apache Indian named Mao Niko up the Indian Reservation going up the rode by Tularosa to the Resort before the Horse Races "Ruidoso?" forgot the name??? That's where I bought my first car 1976 Monte Carlo swivel seats and the women were everywhere. Going to different Campus including the JoB Corp next the Lobo Campus. If I had to do it all over again I'd only use a Harley more often than I did.
i do, he may not have the skills to bring down a bigger, better lennox, but he does have the heart to stay on. i wonder why he's not given the opportunities other heavyweights (dum ones) are getting?
i think if he can get a third fight with rahman he can put things right once and for all, he just needs a couple more fights to shake of the ring rust and get his weight down, then when he beats rahman he can destroy ruiz again
Because he's out of shape, slow, and showing no committment to the game. A promoter makes an "investment" in a fighter and wants to see some returns. Tua is a bad investment at this time, despite the very poor condition of the Heavy scene, until he can demonstrate some committment.

The only thing that kept Tua Man in that Lewis fight was that Lennox was tiring from beating on Tua's head! If you call that showing "holding your own", so be it!
I suppose, but until that final bell it can be one hell of a boring show, especially when you've got Tua in there against anybody with some reach, which is just about everybody.
One thing Tua is not, is entertaining for boxing fans. He is probably THE most one-demsional Heavy of the 90's, after Ruiz. That is why Tua will never be a first-tier heavy, 'cause he can't fight. he can lunge and throw that big L-hook, but he ususally doesn't connect.

he can fight that's what he's best at, his problem is his boxing ability, his lack of height and reach,and his punch output, i would say tua is one of the best ''fighters'' out there in a proper fight, that's why guys like lewis, and rahman stayed on the outside when they boxed him
I love watching him because he has Major one punch power and personally I enjoy watching anybody like that becasue the fight is never over until the final bell.

This doesn't sound like a good result but if you
look at it another way,he has been out for a long time
,got a few rounds under his belt and still managed a ko
win.It will have done him more good than blasting the guy
out in the first round.
Love watching Tua fight
Why? It's ugly, he hasn't been in shape for awhile and hasn't performed for awhile. He has very limited boxing skills and is the poster-boy for one dimensionalism. Other than an occasional "big bang", he's not that entertaining.
Love watching Tua fight and hope he starts climbing the ranks but realisticly he has no chance of making the top five. He only has a punchers chance and would have to climb the top ranks landing that chance every time he fights. Still love him though.
