John Ruiz
Hasim Rahman
Michael Moorer
Oleg Maskaev
These 4 were able to be declared as "Champion" and All of them were Kayoed by Tua
How come Tua got only one chance at a belt as of this time? Even the old Vander keeps getting chances so is Ruiz. Even Oquendo has fought for a belt twice already.
How unlucky can you get? what does he ned to do to get another shot?
Tua beat those fighters when they was novices or `shot`
john ruiz - already had 27 fights as a pro by the time he fought david tua. ruiz had won 7 fights in a row and 6 by ko/tko right before his loss to david tua.
hasim rahman - was 29-0 going into his fight with david tua and was highly ranked. both guys were top ranked by the ibf and was fighting an eliminator to challenge for the ibf belt.
oleg maskaev - was only in his 12th fight with david tua but remember oleg maskaev started his pro career late. he didn't turn pro 'til he was in his mid 20's until after the fall of the soviet union. oleg maskaev was fighting in the soviet union since the 1980's.
michael moorer - was certainly past his best but was still a good fighter. he had just comeback and fought 5 fights in 1 1/2 years. he beat 2 good , solid heavyweights in robert davis and terrance lewis right before fighting david tua.
