    That's a nice pic of Jack Johnson. I tried looking for a nice one, but didn't find one as nice as yours. You "MF"

        Actually it was a TKO, it was not a KO, the ref stopped it. Lets not forget that Tua was a kid fighting a man, going down in amateurs is no big deal. Tua has one of the best chins as a pro, never been down, unless you want to count the time Rahman put him down at the end of the fight after the bell.

        As a pro Tua's chin > Tyson chin

          How did Tyson get in here?

          Anyway, This doesn't prove that Tua didn't have a granite chin, it just proves that your chin gets better with age. Tua, when physically matured, already had a great chin. And he was very young too when he was taking bombs from Ibeabuchi with no problem. I love David Tua though. Look at the sportsmanship.

            do you know anything Cuba or the way that the government controls production and manages the economy? ....of course you dont

            What is he going to spend these millions on when goods are rationed to citizens? ...

            If he accepted the offer he would have to move to the US, which in his mind is not worth giving up his family, friends and the pride of a whole nation..

            If you use your brain for a second, you might realise that winning the 'heavyweight championship' doesn`t mean much to him....but granted, you probably can`t grasp this concept.

              Cuba gave Joel Casamayor a bicycle for his Olympic Gold Medal.

              He swam for Florida right after that. He's doing quite well financially today.

                Lets start with this question, then we will go from there.

                Is Cuba good or bad in your opinion?

                Is Savon a figher or not?

                Would Castro allow Savon to fight if Savon wanted to?

                Does Savon believe in his country's form of government?

                Is Savon a fighter or not?

                  If Savon didn't support his Governments views he would have fled like many others. Stevenson was also a huge supporter of Communism and said the love from Millions of Cubans was better than Millions of dollars.

                    So is Cuba a great place to live.

                    What is the % of poor?
                    Please educate


                    There are many ways I can respond, and many questions to ask, but have to go now, I will chat later.


                    Quick note: Castro let his players play our (U.S.) players in baseball.

                      I think it was that short right hand before they clinched. Seemed like a delayed reaction by Tua, similar to Tyson's punch atop the head on Berbick.
