Comments Thread For: Weights: David Tua in Top Form, Drop 110-Pounds

[New England]

that's way to fast a weight loss. I can almost guarantee you hes going to be lethargic and have stamina problems. he should have never ballooned that high. that type of behavior shortens careers and imo is a big reason why he never won a world title. Rid**** bowe was the same way. too damn lazy outside the ring and it cut his career short

stamina problems?

as opposed to the great stamina he had when he was 50 lbs overweight..?

I can see what he is talking about, the legs might not be there shifting off 110 lb's in a couple of months at 41 years old. that is a **** load of excess weight for a guy that is only 5'10 . But hey i agree it's better than being 345 or whatever he was to begin with.

he could be overtrained certainly, but he's not going to have issues identical to a boxer who loses a ton of weight to get to the weight classes. he's not emaciated, clealry. just look at him. he's still got a bit to lose.


being dehydrated and starved (weight drained,) and being overtrained aren't the same thing.



also, i highly doubt that he dropped 110 lbs just in training camp. he probably altered his diet over several months / a year to get him going. he'd enter camp in much better shape than before, and work the rest off in the gym.

If tua can get close and throw that vicious left hook to the body he has a chance

[Hayehammer]

I guess the rumours were right that if tua wins agaisnt ustinov he will get a klitschko! good luck to him hes gonna need it even in shape

[BoxingJunkie]

It's all positive for Tua right now but looks don't win fights, so we'll see tomorrow but hopefully he can reproduce at least 75% of his old form. If he does he will be very exciting to watch.

Coming off a 2 year layoff where he retired after his loss

He'd have to be retired for ten years, 8 feet tall and have a hormonal disorder for 110 pounds not to be flat out ******. Let's be honest.

The guy's Samoan, 110 pounds is like thanksgiving dinner to him

I stand corrected.
