Wish him all the best.
Wow... what a long career. Seems like decades ago that I fell into a sleeping coma while watching him against Lennox Lewis. I remember thinking and hoping he'd be the next Mike Tyson, but it wasn't meant to be. Good luck to him, and as opposed to the norm nowadays with heavyweights.... I hope he STAYS retired.
Tua Iron chin Iron fist, warm heart. Beat lots of former world champions. God Speed Tuaman!!!
Class Boxer Class Poster... Hope he has a great retirement and thanks for the memories....

My favorite Tua fight was against Ike Ibeabuchi, I thought he won that fight too. Best heavyweight fight since the Bowe-Holyfield fights imo. It's sad all the legal wrangling he had to go through to free himself from a management team that apparently was not serving his best interests. Good luck Tua, kind of cool he was such a regular poster here. Solid heavyweight career, glad he knows when it's time to call it a day.
Nice vid there. Never realized he posted here? Now I'm wondering if Countryboy is really Morrison ;D Good to see him retire, best of luck.
I remember on ask the Trainer, this Guy was arguing with Him on how to Throw a Left Hook. Me thinking, He wouldnt like Him to demonstrate it on His Chin ;D. I know for certain it was Him, we still send regards through a third party. He has opened a Gym in New Zealand wish Him well.
It's about time he hung em up. He spent too much of the last few years inactive. He opened his own gym in Onehunga, Auckland NZ in July.
I too thought he won the Ibeabuchi fight, but I also feel that fight ruined he as he never seemed the same fighter afterwards...
I will be interested to see how Cameron performs against barrett
Hahah no way. I remember LordsGym, he was a big Holyfield fan if I remember? Pretty epic if it was actually David Tua posting and he never let on to the forum, I remember he would even get into little arguements with people and such;D.
You can call me Mr Ward if you like, ;D.Quote:

Would be cool to get some boxers/trainers to post on here. I know Bunce & Billy Nelson post over at ESB.
Avery fair career, wish him all the best with his new upcoming projects.
Tua knocked out Ruiz and deserves a medal for that, he also stopped a number of rated world title challengers and champions. His fight with Ike was brilliant, they both had rock solid chins to take those blows for 12 rounds. However watching him recently he looked below par and as bad as the heavyweight division is he would never beat the Klit brothers. He would have a great fight with James Toney now though.
