Comments Thread For: Tua vs Seldon Set For February 7 in Atlantic City

[KOKing27]

No reason for Tua to fight Oquendo, he already beat him by TKO years ago. But fighting Seldon makes no sense. I remember Seldon getting hit on the shoulder by Mike Tyson and when he got up, his eyes were glassy. His chin was so bad he got rocked when hit on the shoulder. I have to agree with Joe, this has first round KO written all over it.

This is why Tua cannot get back into the title picture, he has been fighting bums since the turn of the century, two average fighters only, Byrd whom he lost to and a prime time oquendo.

Big-bada-boom... Ba-a-a-ada-boom!

what proof do you need?

he's not on hbo or showtime.

he doesn't have the backing of a big boxing country like say germany or britain.

tua is too much risk and no reward.

the only reason cameron's people put him up against tua is because they thought tua was shot.

after seeing what he did to cameron , how many promoters do you think are calling tua's people for a fight with their fighter?

Unless tua loses his punch resistance, hell never get another title shot ever again. Tua was never a super exciting fighter, but he was never a pushover.

the man in youre avatar, nor his brother would never give him any shot whatsoever, they would vacate, even if he was a mandatory.

Tua fighting Oquendo would be a decent fight against a decent name and very winnable for Tua. Problem is, David requires a rather large size purse that doesn't leave much for a perspective opponent. Cedric Kushner doesn't have deep pockets and still needs to make some money off of a show. As for bigger fights, Tua prices himself out which for now, I understand. He needs to stay busy, albeit against better opposition than Seldon. But being busy is a good start. If David gets on TV his next fight after this which should be around May if he's smart then he's on to something. If that's not the path he takes, then he is just wasting his time. We'll lose interest very quick in David Tua.

[Mr. Ryan]

This is the perfect fight for Tua. Bruce Seldon will bring out the best in Tua and the idea of getting hit by Tua will bring out the worst in Seldon.

Seldon is on the cheap too, maybe 15K.

tell them ryan.

tua can't fight guys that demand 250K-500K 'til he gets on showtime or hbo.

put a few fights together and a few ko's then maybe he'll get another show on shobox or hbo bad.

bruce seldon next month and friday ahunanya in march and he's good to go.

he finished his obligations to maori tv and he can fight on a bigger stage (hopefully)

tua tried to get out of his maori tv contract but maori tv wouldn't let him out.

he has 2 fights left with them.

that's what seldon and ahunanya is for. they're trying to get it over with as soon as possible. that's why they're planning seldon and friday to be done by march.
