power or chin

Just slightly out of topic though I just remembered one of my favorite heavies David Tua's got the best of both worlds, chin and power. What was his downfall?

I'd say not building even further on what he naturally had.

No desire. Said he wanted to be champion. But didn't take the chances when he got the opportunity. Seemed to accept he wasn't going to beat Lewis after like the 4th round and pretty much just went through the motions. Did the same thing against Chris Byrd.

Maybe I can blame the paint chips....but I've always thought Tuas power was a bit overrated. Sorta think in long run that ko of Ruiz did him no favors. Lost intensity thinking that miracle left hook would come in end.

Thanks Andre, VD and Spicoli, you guys are right except the Tua's power being overrated. I think Tua's power is consistent from Rahman's, Oquendo's, Maskaev's, Ruiz and the Nigerian or South African guy's kayo. They were pretty strong opposition IMO.
