Sounds like the same old story...fat boy chasing the ice cream truck finally catches up in the final round

Love watching Tua fight and hope he starts climbing the ranks but realisticly he has no chance of making the top five. He only has a punchers chance and would have to climb the top ranks landing that chance every time he fights. Still love him though.

Love watching Tua fight

Why? It's ugly, he hasn't been in shape for awhile and hasn't performed for awhile. He has very limited boxing skills and is the poster-boy for one dimensionalism. Other than an occasional "big ****", he's not that entertaining.

This doesn't sound like a good result but if you
look at it another way,he has been out for a long time
,got a few rounds under his belt and still managed a ko
win.It will have done him more good than blasting the guy
out in the first round.

[Warden11]

I love watching him because he has Major one punch power and personally I enjoy watching anybody like that becasue the fight is never over until the final bell.

[BigE]

i really thought Tua was going to be a champion. But, his lack of work ethic was and always will be his undoing.

[joeboxer]

That and how short and slow he is.

I suppose, but until that final bell it can be one hell of a boring show, especially when you've got Tua in there against anybody with some reach, which is just about everybody.

One thing Tua is not, is entertaining for boxing fans. He is probably THE most one-demsional Heavy of the 90's, after Ruiz. That is why Tua will never be a first-tier heavy, 'cause he can't fight. he can lunge and throw that big L-hook, but he ususally doesn't connect.

he can fight that's what he's best at, his problem is his boxing ability, his lack of height and reach,and his punch output, i would say tua is one of the best ''fighters'' out there in a proper fight, that's why guys like lewis, and rahman stayed on the outside when they boxed him
