David Tua was a Samoan Superstar renowned for vicious power in both heavy hands. He immediately drew comparisons to Mike Tyson, but as his career carried on David Tua made a name for himself as one of the most dangerous men in boxing.

I used to work with a guy that was immense and strong as all get out that wanted to spar with me, because he did kickboxing on the side. I'm almost a full foot shorter than him and about 150 lbs lighter, too. I am not afraid to admit I ducked that guy, the things I've heard about Samoan gyms and the way they spar was enough for me to say no. Don't get me wrong at all, I liked the guy, he was a great workplace friend that unfortunately I fell out of contact with, but I don't think he realized he was a giant asking me (I'm 5'10") to step into a ring with him.

Jesus Christ all these fools were massive but at the same time SUUUPER respectful and naturally sweet people to others but the fights I seen break out at these things were NUTS!

That said, does anyone realistically think that somebody like Earnie Shavers didn't hit harder than Tyson? Tyson deserves heaps of praise and recognition for how incredible he was in the ring, but some people need to understand that just because he was amazing doesn't mean he has to be the best in every category.

I used to train with David Izonritei's brother, Roger Izonritei who was also a great boxer and one thing that made them such good fighters were the hardships they went through. They came from the streets of Nigeria and had to fight to live. The reason why he was so clear headed fighting Tua was because he had zero fear of pain and or the loss. When I trained with Roger, he was so focused on my inner thoughts and the way I even looked at life. He was like a life coach who so happened to train me in boxing. All I can say is Roger was like a lion, felt crazy to train with the way he roars at you with such a powerful voice. So hope that give a little insight to why David did quite well to Tua. Tua is an absolute legend.

David Tua and his career is a giant enigma in boxing history! David Tua knocked-out John Ruiz, Oleg Maskaev and defeated Hasim Rahman (both ended controversial)....and yet all three men became later on in respective career recognized world heavyweight champions, with both Ruiz & Rahman twice - with-out Tua never managed to win a world heavyweight title. Tua was a world-wide fan-favourite heavyweight boxer In his entire career, yet David Tua only ONCE fought for the world heavyweight title = Lost a wide UD to Lennox Lewis. From 2001-2003 Tua could EASILY have gotten another shot or even two based on his popularity alone. But Tua was a major decliner of fights. And between March 29 2003 to March 2005 = 2 YEARS of abcense, Tua returns to the ring but struggle to be the man he was just 2 years shy back. Meenwhile in the same time span, Jameel McCline fights 4 times for a world heavyweight title, Fres Oquendo and Kirk Johnson 2 times each - and all three was push-overs compared to the calibre of what Tua offered. Tua declined a rematch with John Ruiz when he was the WBA world champion between 2001-2003 and also declined a 3rd match with Hasim Rahman. Tua also declined fighting both the Klitschko brothers. Tua's career lands in the file of "what could have been" or "what if ?"

Holyfield brought Tua into his camp to prepare for i think Tyson. Tua knocked Holyfield down and Holyfield said he’ll never fight Tua. Holyfield said that the hardest he’s been his was from Tua and Foreman.

@@sugarray6250 Probably, but Tua with that chin would probably just keep on coming at him with a barrage of haymakers until he folds.. Tyson was completely outclassed by Holyfield because he no longer got the winning mentality he once had when he was 19 years old.. Big difference when u compare to Tua who was a beast of a man back then..
