Don't spar with David Tua

I know you're a Tua fan, Ben. Thought you might like to hear how his training is going.....

Should be a cracker of a fight!!! Hopefully he kicks Cameron's arse

Quality! I think Tua can still take the Hw devision by storm, He Samshed John Ruiz in the 1st who was an even fight with Valuev and also Stopped Maskaev who was one of the top heavyweigths before Wlad beat him,

I think Throw Tua in with Haye and he would KO him. Wald would probabally UD him but Its a massive puncher on a chinny guy so who knows? Vitali is the only guy I dont see Tua having a hope against.

If he fails to capture a title in Boxing, Id love to see him go to K-1 and fight Mighty Mo or one of the other big Islanders! After Cameron (who is a big mean guy!) he needs to step up in competition to show he wants a shot. A fight with James Tony would work.

Tua actually reportedly put Mark Hunt in hospital when they were sparring partners at one point.

Jeusu I heard him and Hunt sparred, Didnt know he put him in hospital! Tua is a wrecking machine but he is getting old! I think he really needs to push for a Tony fight if he wins this... Id still love to see him vs Mighty Mo!

Just though id post this because its a boxing thread...



what a cool picture of Valuev! Bring on Valuev vs Choi as the ultimate freakshow showdown!! I remember Barnett saying the wanted to fight Valuev!

Tua will get beaten by anyone who:

a) Has quick feet and quick hands and doesn't stand in front of him waiting to get smashed.

or

b) Has a good reach advantage and a strong jab.


Tua has massive power and a great chin but he's an average fighter. He would have had more success had he followed Hunt into K1.


Oh, but Tua never hospitalized Mark Hunt, that's an internet rumour.

If anyone is interested, I think the fight video is attached. I couldn't check the link to see if it worked but I hope it does.

Short but sweet!!!!
