    Any word on David Tua?

    I know he was always an inactive fighter, but this is ridiculous. What is he doing. To go from a contender to a pretender like that is just sad. Especially with the state of the current heavy's.

    I guess my search for a small heavy with 1 punch knockout power will continue. Goodbye Tyson, Goodbye Tua.

    I hate the tall doofs of the heavyweight division. Like the next jordan I need the next Tyson(without all the problems). Is he around?

    Tua is fighting off his fat genes right now. The man was genetically predisposed to being bulky. And with that weight, he'll never be in top form like he was 10 years ago. Plus he's older.

      What a waste. He never developed either. Only a left hook. I dont get it. He had a GREAT asset. Actually 2 great Assets. Great 1 punch power. AND an IRON chin. Too bad, those 2 things alone would have gotten him too the top of this weak heavyweight division.

      Pisses me off that I actually made him one of my favs.

        he wasn't always overweight, he was only 226lbs when he had that amazing fight with ibeabuchi, but he has weakened himself by going up and down in weight over the years, i think a prime tua would clean out most of todays top heavyweights with ease, but he has just went downhill since the ibeabuchi loss [yes that far back] it's not quite over for him just yet though, he had two years off and it's going to take a couple more tough fights for him to discover wheather he still has it in him.

          tua isnt gone, hes just trying to get back in at least decent shape. when he is in shape, hes the most dangerous heavyweight in the division.
