Where is the TuaMan??

tua turned down a fight with brewster before brew fought wlad in there 2nd fight. if anyone has been avoiding the bigger names its tua i wasn't talking about bigger names as in talent but money. lamon was a good solid fighter but he hardly had the following as say even golota who draws crowds in chicago because of his polish background. at the time lamon was considered top 10 in the world and i doubt david was in any position to be able to beat him. david is a shell of his former self now and he was even in worse shape back then. i think the lamon talk of a tua fight was before his loss to lyakhovich. i could be mistaken though. tua barely started fighting again in 2005 after a 2 year layoff. we all saw how awful he looked during his first fights back. fighting lamon at the time would've been bad news for tua. i think tua's managers thought the best way to get back into the game was a bunch of ko's against a bunch of tomato cans to get david's name back out there. another boring tough fight with a top guy , like rahman 2003 , wouldn't have created a buzz around tua's name like a bunch of ko's would have.

the guy can't get fights. the big names don't want to risk fighting him. those that want to fight him are too much risk and not enough reward. he was fighting tomato cans to just stay busy and stay in shape but i don't know what happened. he fought a bunch of fights recently to get back in shape but he hasn't been able to get a fight the past year. too bad. waste of a career. if he had signed with don or arum he would've had a belt already. i hope he gets 1 or 2 fights with some big names or young up and comers like haye. he'll lose but he deserves a nice paycheck before retiring. tua turned down a fight with brewster before brew fought wlad in there 2nd fight. if anyone has been avoiding the bigger names its tua

Roman Greenberg is fighting on the same card. Neither have an opponent yet, so why not have them fight one another? I remember watching Greenberg fight a few years ago and it being predicted that he'd be challenging for a title before long. Instead the only name I've heard of on his record is Julius Francis, who was in the middle of a 79 fight losing streak when they met. Sam Peter still doesn't have an opponent for next month. Maybe if Tua offered to sell his soul to Frank Warren he could get the fight. sell your soul fat boy. sell your soul.

Good news for Tua fans: Tua has a scheduled bout July 17 in Ukraine, of all places against an opponent TBA. Hope he finds someone decent... it's olga klitschko......wlad and vitali's sister. she doesn't have much power but she's 6'5 , 240 and she has a 81 inch reach. good tuneup for david.

How many title's has Tua won??....I'll answer that....ZERO. Wlad would beat the living shit outta Tua and knock him out. why do you have to rub it in? the guy is fat and useless now...... he's beat 3 guys that went on to win a title...... does that count? that's it. i hope wlad gets koed his next fight...... :-)

ha ha ha i was waiting for you to show up!!! How many title's has Tua won??....I'll answer that....ZERO. Wlad would beat the living shit outta Tua and knock him out.

David Tua is a fat slob....Wladimir Klitschko would knock out that bum Tua with one hand tied behind his back. ha ha ha i was waiting for you to show up!!!

Tua should do a David Haye, go to every press conference and call out the champions be it Wlad or Sam Peter he has no time to be f@#ing around .... he already has a name and he always brings excitment he still has the power. Wlad would be way more worried about Tua than Haye. all he needs to do is land one shot nah......... he can't ko wlad. wladowns told me wlad has a granite chin. he had the flu and he was dizzy before getting in the ring when he fought purrity. they accidently massaged wlads leg before the sanders fight and his legs were weak like hearns when he fought hagler. and when he fought lamon , wlad was covered in vaseline which meant his pores couldn't breath when he sweat which cause his weakness.

true...... he wouldn't want to get caught by even an old tua. story of tua's whole career.

the w would come with a great name though...... how many guys have beaten tua? ibeabuchi. a very good fighter who's name has reached mythical status almost because of "what could've been?" after being the only person to beat both tua and byrd. byrd. one of the most skilled heavies of this era and ibf champion for a while. lewis. one of the atg heavyweights and probably top ten all time. not bad company for haye to be in....... It'd look good on his resume but Haye wants to progress up the rankings, a win over Tua would get him nowhere. And what if he got caught? he was too fat and out of shape. he tried to make it a fight at first but was too slow and tired. tua's a tough guy and has a lot of heart but eating 2-3 jabs and a right from a lennox lewis everytime you try to come in can make anybody wary. he was in his prime at a bad time when lewis was king and everybody can get bigger money fights with holy and mike. sad that the 3 guys he koed (rahman , ruiz , maskaev) all became champs AFTER he beat them. prime tua (215-220 lbs.) would've beat byrd imo. he was not as fat against byrd but 233 is still too heavy for a 5'10 guy and his skills were already eroded by the time they met. he probably would've lost to only the klitschko sisters in this era. prime tua would've beat all the lyakhovich's , chagaev's and ibragimov's. I agree.

a prime tua...... http://youtube.com/watch?v=_VgUaCQZJEc http://youtube.com/watch?v=3FZ4ZlT63xU&feature=related http://youtube.com/watch?v=B1PUgHl8044 http://youtube.com/watch?v=lEUJvYMo16o http://youtube.com/watch?v=rQStB2IRWOo what a beautiful sight......

He probably would but when he did get his chance against Lewis, he didn't really look like he wanted to fight. he was too fat and out of shape. he tried to make it a fight at first but was too slow and tired. tua's a tough guy and has a lot of heart but eating 2-3 jabs and a right from a lennox lewis everytime you try to come in can make anybody wary. he was in his prime at a bad time when lewis was king and everybody can get bigger money fights with holy and mike. sad that the 3 guys he koed (rahman , ruiz , maskaev) all became champs AFTER he beat them. prime tua (215-220 lbs.) would've beat byrd imo. he was not as fat against byrd but 233 is still too heavy for a 5'10 guy and his skills were already eroded by the time they met. he probably would've lost to only the klitschko sisters in this era. prime tua would've beat all the lyakhovich's , chagaev's and ibragimov's.

He's not ranked by any of the sanctioning bodies, Haye wants a "top 10 heavyweight". the w would come with a great name though...... how many guys have beaten tua? ibeabuchi. a very good fighter who's name has reached mythical status almost because of "what could've been?" after being the only person to beat both tua and byrd. byrd. one of the most skilled heavies of this era and ibf champion for a while. lewis. one of the atg heavyweights and probably top ten all time. not bad company for haye to be in.......

too bad...... the bad diet and layoffs really hurt him...... if he was with don king he'd probably be a 2-3 time champ...... if he was with king now he'd hold a belt. i know he's nothing now but i think a Tua-Toney , Tua-Peter would still be entertaining. even a Tua-Haye would still be entertaining. GO TUA!!! WAR TUAMAN!!!!!! He probably would but when he did get his chance against Lewis, he didn't really look like he wanted to fight.

I think the only thing he has left is his power honestly. He doesn't seem to be the same TuaMan anymore. too bad...... the bad diet and layoffs really hurt him...... if he was with don king he'd probably be a 2-3 time champ...... if he was with king now he'd hold a belt. i know he's nothing now but i think a Tua-Toney , Tua-Peter would still be entertaining. even a Tua-Haye would still be entertaining. GO TUA!!! WAR TUAMAN!!!!!!

why would they do that? haye is much younger , much more skilled at this point , better stamina , bigger , taller , longer reach...... tua is past prime , slower , fatter , shorter , at a reach disadvantage...... i doubt tua hits him cleanly more than once the whole fight......

His camp approached Haye's people to set up a fight but Haye turned it down. why would they do that? haye is much younger , much more skilled at this point , better stamina , bigger , taller , longer reach...... tua is past prime , slower , fatter , shorter , at a reach disadvantage...... i doubt tua hits him cleanly more than once the whole fight......
