Other personal issues which were a by product of all the stress and worry , also had to be worked out


That’s the past! the future is looking bright. . David now has some good people around him.. Of course Roger Bloodworth his trainer . , a great promoter and adviser in Cedric Cushner , accompanied with great fan support. . I think the fight fan will be pleasantly surprised with Tua as he marches forward .

I am a bit taken aback … Would have thought more boxing fans here at Saddo's would be amped about Tua’s march to a HW Championship. Hopefully they soon will be.

Great post LORDS. Very succinctly sums up the past couple of years of Tua's career. I for one applaud him for taking a slow road back to contendership. I'm sure he could have come back and fought for a title almost straight away however, that probably would have been disastrous for his career.

I for one can't wait until he's fully back on track. Heavy hands, great chin, what's not to love about the very idea of a comeback?

Considering the dearth of talent and the absence of a supremely gifted pure boxer, the type that can make Tua appear pedestrian, then yes we must take him seriously. With his natural power and solid chin he could still be a major player in the division.

He is staying busy at least now. He is scheduled to fight Sept 7. Probably another tomato can...If he keeps at 237-ish like his last fight, he should be a force. I would like to see him in a title fight again.

i think tua is still a force. he is the only fighter where lennox lewis fought at a distance even for his size advantage over tua. i think hes doing good by taking the slow road to the top. hes taking his time, getting his experience back and hes making money along the way. at least he's fighting like the tua we always knew.
