The Klitschko brothers should give him a nice payday and send him off. Otherwise he wil keep fighting forever.

No way. No disrespect to Tua, but after the gifted draw with Monte, he should not step anywhere near a Klit.

Same Tua who didnt even counter-offer the Klitschko's after they offered him more money than he is making now without even giving them his price?

He had a 3 fight deal with Maori Tv(sp?) for 1m so 333k per fight, he got offered 400k to fight the brothers, instead of coming back at 1m he just rejected the fight. I dont get it? You owe money and you aint fighting and you dont even want to earn more money than you have earned in recent years?

Floyd Mayweather school of Financing, now with Purple Sizzurp with every client!

David Tua, for someone to squander their talents and money the way you have is sickening. Instead of earning a huge stack of cash the last decade, you sat on your ass with a screwed up sense of entitlement. To the point you can't even get paid to fight, nice work. And yet an opportunity like Wlad comes along which if you pulled it off would make a 2.2mil tax debt look like chump change, but for whatever reason you pass. It may build a little character to have to fight the raccoons for some food.

Tua Taxes

There is NO law. NO statute that says any American HAS to pay taxes on their income. NO law what-so-ever. Do a little digging on the subject, you'll be quite surprised.

He is no worse than Briggs.

At this point he may be. Briggs at least has the size and reach. Tua could barely win a round against Lewis 10 years ago. I used to be a fan though, as many of us were.
