its not his fault he doesnt qualify so i think they should have a separate hall called the boxing wall of fame or something. he got screwed over by the powers that be so he never got the shots he deserved but its not his fault. but he is a hall of fame talent yes and one of the top 10 heavyweight punchers ever.Comment

No, but with better management, he perhaps would have been qualified for the HOF.Last edited by The Hammer; 10-05-2008, 08:08 PM.Comment

tua was rated top 10 by Ring Magazine for 8-9 years straight.
he beat 3 guys in their prime who later became champion or multiple time champions.
ko wins over maskaev , rahman , ruiz , oquendo , nicholson , sullivan , moorer......how many champions of this era has a better resume than that?
his only 3 losses were to lewis (a top 5-10 atg) , byrd (very skilled ibf and wbo champion) and to ibeabuchi (which wasn't really a loss)Comment
