David Tua interview video for Barrett rematch

[Earl-Hickey]

Unfortunatley for David Tua the best years of his career were spent tied up in legal battles and on the sidelines, however he seems a genuine nice guy so I wish him well and hope he can get some glory even at this late stage.

Wlad already offered him a fight when Povetkin pulled out, Tua said no, cause the money was too low, which could be true but Wlad pays at least $1 mil to everyone, so I am not sure why Tua turned that down. I think Tua has no chance against Wlad, just like everyone else, but I hope he does get a good payday before he retires.

link please... im sure a broke as Tua since 2005 wouldnt turn down a title shot and 1mil.. unless he was 'low balled'.

I think Tua had that 4 fight deal with Maori TV that kept him from fighting abroad or on other networks in effect. Not sure if its up by now or not, but I believe at that time he would have had to buy out of the contract, so a Wlad fight probably would have just ended up with an L and no money in his pocket.

I dont see Tua being effective against the Klitschkos at this point. Maybe a decade ago. Tua-Arreola would be badass, tho.
