Tua has an excuse!

[littlebif]

Tua was never that good anyway he is just a 1 dimensional boxer with a decent punch. This excuse has come out abit late.

Props to Barrett for putting him on his arse

Never good ? I must disagree with that statement. He was a terror when he was in his prime and very well taught by the Duva's. Lot's of great head movement and knew how to cut the ring off and get that big left hook into action.And for christs sake was in good shape at about 225 lbs. As soon as he went his own way he just fell apart and became a plodding one punch fighter.

david tua i believe was as overrated as they come. sure he had a great, powerful left hook but little else.

sick of this "Never was that good"

He lost to Ike lbeabuchi and Lennox Lewis no shame in them loses then went on to lose to the feather fisted Chris Byrd who is a good boxer.

He never really beat anyone world class.His best wins were against Johny Ruiz in 1 which was a good win, holds a win against Hasim Rahman and a draw.1 round ko against a old Micheal moorer and a good win over Fres oquendo which was a good win at the time carnt think of any1 else that he fought. There might be some others that i have missed but they are hardly the best names to have on your record as the best wins imo.

I thought he beat Ibeabuchi.

I've been away for a while, Tua lost to Monte Barret? Yikes.

He lost to Ike on points.

He was lucky to draw with Barret and Barret had him down in the 12th i think it was.
