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.
