David Tua should have challenge John Ruiz after he beats Holyfield

After Lennox Lewis retired 'David Tua should of really captured a world title'. There was a short time period when the titles where all over the place, or not really held by solid champions. Oleg Maskaev, Hasim Rahman etc Lennox retired with WBC belt. He already vacated WBA and Ruiz and Holyfield fought for it. he also vacated IBF before fighting Vitali. Vitali picked vacated WBC belt. Byrd picked vacated IBF belt. Byrd beat Tua in IBF eliminator before that.

Thanks for reminding me of the Ruiz Holyfield trilogy. I was having trouble falling asleep tonight.

I believe Don King kept Ruiz far away from Tua. Than Tua lost to Byrd and he was done as challenger.

Maybe he did and Ruiz said no thank you. Or “fck no!” Seems more likely.

Your post is all over the place. You can't seem to decide on past or present tense. He never fought Holyfield and wouldn't have won that fight even at that stage in Holyfield's career. I meant after John Ruiz defeated Evander Holyfield for the WBA title.

Prime David Tua was a real phenom. Would give many present and past fighters big problems on his day. When he hit 'em they stayed hit!
