David Tua's chances

[Castor_Troy]

John Ruiz
Hasim Rahman
Michael Moorer
Oleg Maskaev

These 4 were able to be declared as "Champion" and All of them were Kayoed by Tua


How come Tua got only one chance at a belt as of this time? Even the old Vander keeps getting chances so is Ruiz. Even Oquendo has fought for a belt twice already.


How unlucky can you get? what does he ned to do to get another shot?

[STILL_DETOX]

he has a chance against haye, but then again, he doesnt.

[SN!PER]

Nobody wants to fight him because the risk is too high and the reward too small.
