Question

What happened to David "the Terminator" Tua? I know he was fighting for a little while just recently...

Answer 1

Tyson fans might behead me for saying this but David Tua punched just as hard as Tyson, to whom Tua is most often compared to.  The difference is that Tyson made better use of his power and was much faster.  

Tua is a very lazy fighter.  He doesn't have the motivation that Tyson had.  Tyson WANTED you to hurt.  I really believe Tua never NEEDED to box.   I think someone in his early adult life said something like   "Man, you're a big kid.  You should stop down at the gym some day".  I think Tua had the power and some talent but never the desire.  

Tua had one other thing that Tyson didn't have.  He had a lot of stamina.  He could still come at you in the late rounds.  He didn't even try against Lewis.  He made the fight easy for Lennox.   Tua is just not motivated.

Answer 3

Why are we talking about Davis Tua ? What has he ever done? Is he relevant was he relevant will he ever be relevant I think not? I,m just saying. Someone up above me made a reference about Tua punching as hard as Mike Tyson lets not get it twisted there is nothing about Tua that remind es me of Mike Tyson. Tua is the guy that hit someone after the bell and won a fight. He did go to the Olympics not for the US but some small so called country I think it was Oyster Island.

Answer 4

Answer 5

david tua another average fighter who should probably be a cruiserweight
