Re: So what is the latest on David Tua?

Re: So what is the latest on David Tua?

the article state arreola and whitherspoon will fight and the winner will take on Tua at MSG in the fall?

Re: So what is the latest on David Tua?
I am not sure what David Tua is even doing in the sport anymore. I used to be a big fan but he has been so inconsistent with his schedule that every time I would get hyped up about him coming back he would vanish as quickly.
(I really do not count stay busy fights as being in the mix.)
Tua had the perfect opportunity to make a strong comeback right after Vitaly left the sport. The heavyweight division was wide open and Tua was part of the elite before the Sultan's, Chagaev's and Valuev's started to appear.

Just a common saying, I often hear or see someone use a similar saying in regards to an opponents who is TBA.

yes i feel what you are saying being a huge tua fan myself, but much of his problems were due to his poor shady management and financial as well as legal burdens that hindered his over all game plan. he has been getting his weight down atleast and taking his road work and training rather seriously for his last couple of fights.
he will always go down as one of those fighters who could of done so much damage in his prime, just as ike and such would

yes indeed Tua Man will always be a force to be recogned with. even when hes like 60yrs old he'd be the grandpa you would not want to F with or you'd get laid out cold lol
Re: So what is the latest on David Tua?
I'd like to see him in against the Witherspoon/ Arreola winner, with Tua's power either fight is winnable & would put him right back in position to contend again or at least get another couple of big paydays against top 10 opposition.
Re: So what is the latest on David Tua?
Audley Harrison could lay you out when he is 60, it doesn't mean he is relevant?

But a win over the Witherspoon/ Arreola winner would IMO, add in Tua's chin & name factor. I still think Tua matches up well with the majority of the top 10 if he remains active. Put him in with Ruiz or Maskaev & I' favor Tua.
I wouldn't min seeing Peter/ Tua!
Re: So what is the latest on David Tua?
The Heavyweight division has been weak as hell for quite awhile when Tua should have been making fights. in the meantime, he has gotten nothing but older and not any closer to getting a fight IBO.
Tua is done, hell last summer he was fighting in Utah.
