    i didn't say tua was technically better i said one could argue it.

    foreman in his younger days was not the most technical fighter.

    he depended a lot on his power (not a bad thing considering)

      that one was actually one of his most controversial wins.

      fres oquendo , david izon , john ruiz , micheal moorer , oleg maskaev , danell nicholson , obed sullivan , darroll wilson.

      all were good boxers who were top contenders , former champions or top prospects.

      if you don't know who those guys were , it's because your dumbass wasn't following the heavyweight division back then.

      david tua was a top 10 heavyweight for a decade.

      you don't do that based on hype. you might get in the top 10 for a year or two based on hype but not for over a decade.


      ****** mofo's talking about stuff they don't know about.

        Tua was definitely a top heavyweight at one time and has some impressive wins on his resume. I think he's far past his best days now though. I wish he had fought Arreola when the opportunity was there. I think he did have a chance in that one.

          he couldn't fight arreola.

          from what i know , hbo offered tua an arreola fight.

          tua tried to get out of his maori tv contract or make a deal with them.

          they wouldn't let him out of his contract.

          tua has 1 fight left with maori tv.

          hopefully when that's done he can get back on hbo and showtime against better competition.

          tua is done pretty much. that said he would still be a tough fight for a lot of guys not named klitschko.

            tua is past his best and is not a great fighter.

            he was however a good fighter who had a lot of good wins.



            don't talk about fights/fighters you've never seen.

            everyone is entitled to their opinion , it's ignorant to state an opinion on something you know nothing about though.

                    What was your opinion on last night, i'm just being honest I have to think it was a dissapointment, Friday is durable, but its not like Tua was unloading on him, he barely tested Fridays chin, thats the dissapointment for me, if he cant get to friday, what happens against say povetkin or someone like that?

                      haven't seen it yet. haven't you noticed i haven't said much about the fight?

                      you know i'm all up in there when it comes to tua discussions.

                      i stayed up 'til 3am to watch it and made it through all the crappy undercards then i fell asleep during the israel garcia fight.
