David Tua - A Tale of 2 Tuas

[@DROPPINLINES24-7]

Got to meet Tua back in 2000. I randomly see him and his bodyguards walking around next to my work. His guards didn't want anyone talking to him but i eventually see him without them and run up to talk. SUPER chill guy! Got to chat for about 10-15min. Total fan and didn't expect someone at his level to ask me about what I did for work and about my job. Can tell he was a good humble guy.

Being that of the same stature as Tua, I am barely 5’10. But I weigh between 224 to 238lbs. And I ain’t fat 17% bf. I can’t help but love the small heavyweights, from Marciano, Frazier, Iron Mike Tyson, Bert cooper, David Tua, James Toney ( at heavyweight underrated ) the small heavyweights aren’t really about anymore, they never really where.

[@chandansbhattacharya]

Posession of concussive power to knock an opponent cold DOES NOT automatically translate into ability to absorb one. Nature does not gift both abilities generously. And the rare ones who do possess both, may not be as lucky to withstand professional boxing politics. Mr.DAVID TUA fits this bill perfectly. Possessor of shocking power especially in the left and granite chin as IKE IBEAUBACHIi learnt (IKE himself being another rare gem to fit this bill). Some comparison and "what if" is thrown in the comments dump, hence would pitch in Tua vs Tyson & Morrison :- This is a no brainer. A prime TUA would have destroyed both Tyson & Morrison in their primes, quiet early.. As many showed during Tyson's & Morrison's prime, they both possessed great power and skill but could not take a solid punch, survive and come back. --------------- By the way, my favourite line from Rummy's Corner is his insistence " I know no shi*# about boxing" and then going on to make one gem after another on Boxing !! Buddy, you could very well publish your own Rummy's Corner as a magazine/weekly tabloid...That's how deep it is. ---------------- Thanks. A Rummy's Corner Fan from India.

[@johnjames2242]

You are right on the money on this one! Tua was his best at around 220 lbs. I wish he had fought mike tyson at that weight. I think tua was mismanaged when they allowed him to basically sit on the shelf for 2 years waiting for a title shot and getting fat. His team should have kept him busy and fighting tall fighters while waiting for a title shot against lennix lewis. We know that lewis had a glass jaw and if tua had his weight down he might have won by knockout. Also i noticed that Hollyfield never fought tua. We know nowdays that hollyfield was on steriods back then.In this day and age he would have been caught and suspended. They did not test for steriods back then.

[@thediaz07]

Of course Holyfield was on steroids....dude gained 23lbs of muscle in 2 weeks.....training with roid legend Lee Haney.

Yeah, win or loss he could've had some decent money fights. I bet he could've made some scratch fighting Michael Grant or getting an HBO date or two. I think the Holyfield/Lewis draw also screwed it up a little.

[@jamalwalker04]

Glass jaw? Lewis took bombs from Klitschko, Briggs, Holyfield, Mercer, and ruddock just because he got caught twice in his 15-year career doesn't mean he had a glass jaw

David, like a lot of fighters from that era, just never reached his full potential. Tommy Morrison is another name that comes to mind. The heavyweight division was so stacked in the 1990s that any one of the uncrowned gems of that time could definitely be a world champion now in this era. Ray Mercer, Tommy Morrison, Muhammad Dwight Qawi, Andrew Golota, Micheal Grant, Razor Ruddock... the list goes on. The 90s heavyweight division was the second and final golden era of heavyweight boxing. So much unreached potential and still...

Great video Rummy, I always wondered why Tua dropped off so quick, now you can see it was his weight and lack of dedication.

He was a very entertaining fighter, would have loved to see him in there with Tyson or Holyfield in 96 or 97.

[@pclindholm]

Thanks Rummy. What a resume without a title! You are so right about timing and taking advantage of your time in the sun - to me, this makes the recent performances of Kambosos (against Lopez), Andy Ruiz (in his first fight with Joshua) Leigh Wood, Dmitry Bivol, etc all so impressive. They came out of obscurity and left with titles and a place on history. I would also add that without the weight of a powerful promoter and A side status that so often worthy contenders are denied their rightful victories or their rightful title shots. Most recently, I think that Maxim Vlaslov at 175, Brian Castano at 154 and Matveu Korobov would have all had different futures and much more money in their pocket with A side status or even with impartial judging. It's a shame that talent is not necessarily the only thing that's rewarded in professional boxing, do I appreciate the way you articulated it and for now it's just the way it is.

Love this video Rummy. I will share a Tua story. When Tua fough Lennox Lewis, I bet 8k on Tua to win. I know that might sound crazy now, but Tua could knock out anyone and I knew Lewis didn't have the greatest chin. Unfortunately, I made that bet a month before that fight and had no idea Tua would come in 20 lbs heavier than his last fight and we ever more immobile. I will never understand why he did that. Finally gets a title shot and comes in out of shape. So that sucked losing the money. And I had to laugh in Lewis' next fight when he got knocked out. I was just off by one fight!

[@seablock]

Tua came in heavier in the two preceding fights before Lewis as he knew Lewis was the one he was going to have to fight for the title. He wanted more weight to absorb the power and weight of Lewis. The two other fights were to get used to the weight. Lewis lost to Rahman because he turned up in South Africa far too late and didn't acclimatise to the altitude. It was talked about for near two weeks leading up to the fight and people asking if he'd made a huge mistake in not getting there sooner.

[@samueldowney2806]

Nice video. Watching Tua decline was heartbreaking, such unfulfilled promise. I'm not sure a mythical "peak" Tua could ever beat Lewis or Holyfield, but he sure could have given Lewis especially more of a scare. Sadly I see parallels with Joe Parker, another talented kiwi Heavyweight. Great chin, fastest hands in the division, no real boxing skill. Parker actually looked much better recently in the second Chisora fight after Andy Lee got hold of him, but he reverted to type when tiredness set in. There is a common thread with them, a trainer that never got the best out of them.
