    David tua:a look at his career.

    I finished watching 41 tua fights a feel he's had a solid career.can he recapture glory & get another shot? Time will tell.tua has 1 title fight in his career but you'd think he have more.he lost to lennox but he has wins over former world champions Rahman,maskaev,ruiz & moorer.he also has a fight with former champion chris Byrd.he is 4-2-1 vs former world champions.he has been involved in 4 career eliminator bouts & went 2-1-1 in those fights.other notable fights were against darrell Wilson(knocked out Briggs),David izon,ike ibeabuchi(this & the izon fights are 2 of the top 5 punch output in a heavyweight fight ever),obed Sullivan(90's gatekeeper),donell Nicholson(#3 ranked contender ibf),& fres oquendo(2 time title challenger).solid career for sure.

    Yeah, he is a very good fighter just doesn't have the right type of luck and opportunities. People like Ruiz seem to get unlimited title shots.

      In the 90's you had Tyson,holyfield,& lennox heading division so title fights were not easy to get.ruiz & Rahman scored big upsets vs Holyfield & lennox they were able to stay in the title picture for those big wins.tua never won that big fight.ruiz beat Holyfield & Rahman beat lennox...tua beat both but couldn't win the one that counted vs lennox...if he beat lewis he would have got 5 or 6 shots by now.he's trying one last time for a title shot.

        Yeah youve got a point, but like you said he beat both Rahman and Ruiz, just not when they had titles.

          tua has a big enough name to get a big fight or 2.
