Kushner Pushing For Klitschko-Tua Bout

[Steak]

LOL - reading over this, someone might accuse me of not knowing David Tua was foreign.... Tua is known by a number of American fight fans through his long career and is not in the same boat as someone with a hard-to-pronounce name ending in a 'v' or 'n' with a resume of other folks the casual fan doesn't recognize...

its ok, we understood, lol.

personally, I think that Valuev being a giant and all would attract a lot of up people to watch it. didnt Valuev start having coming to america type fights? and if people saw Wlad beat the **** out of Valuev it would look awesome, it would definately up his popularity. much more so than another Brewster type fight.

I hope Wlad NEVER becomes ppv material. I would really hate it. What a pain in the ass it would be.

Valuev fought in Rosemont, Ill. against Monte Barrett and HBO showed the fight. The fight ******; Barrett lost to a nobody the following year and Valuev got an 'L' as well.

It had a brief novelty media exposure but it kind of came and went...not before there were 14,000+ fans packing Allstate Arena - but many of the crowd was there to see the 2 Polish fighters on the undercard...

Kushner Pushing For Klitschko-Tua Bout

According to a report in the New Zealand Sunday News, promoter Cedric Kushner is willing to drop pending lawsuit against boxing manager Shelly Finkel, if Finkel grants Kushner promoted fighter David Tua a title shot at IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. [details]

I dont think this fight should happen. wlad will most likely win almost all the rounds, but if tua does manger to land a big bomb with wlad maybe leaning in he would KO him.

i would like to see this fight. yes wlad is alot taller then tua but if tua catches wlad it would be lights out. but like always, wlad will pick an easier oponent. somebody he kno's he can beat b.c he got scared after BARELY getting past Samuel Peter that now he just picks easy oponents to get by. he will never be respected until he fights REAL fighters or unifies some titles.

if its next year there are several better options like the winner of sultan holyfield or chageav. it wouldnt make sense having this fight in 2008 imo.

I agree with most here, that Tua hasn’t earned a title shot nor has he even fought anybody remotely credible for that matter. Tua needs at least one big win over a decent contender for him to be deserving of shot…

Also, FYI Tua’s schedule to fight this week on Friday against TBA…

The almost formidale TBA... He gets a lot of fights

Neils, the closer it gets to Sept 7(night of fight), usually the less credible Mr. TBA gets...

I consider David to be a friend of mine, but if they make this fight I will literally cry. This is perhaps the worst mismatch in heavyweight boxing history in many years. Tua can't be competitive with Wladimir given the styles and is simply not in the correct shape to take this fight.
