Comments Thread For: Photo:Weights: David Tua 237-Pds, Monte Barrett 225

[Devils Advocate]

What he said, plus, Tua is ranked #2 right now...a title shot is on the horizon because he's not gonna lose to any of these tomato cans when he's coming in at 237. That is a great weight for him. Remember he was upwards of 250 when he fought Lewis.

The point is he's been seriously active, Barrett is at great risk b/c his chin sits at the perfect height for Tua's overhand right!!

Tua should be able to get through Barrett rather easily, but I never want to see him in with Wlad. I hope he builds his name up on nobodies, knocks Haye unconscious John Ruiz style and retires.

Tua will have a hard time getting to Barrett, Barret will be running the whole fight !

Awwww ****tttttttttttt.

Tuaminator in this *****!

237!

Why is Tua on a bum-killing spree? He's taking Donaire's place as boxing's favorite bum killer.

[English puncher]

dont fancy hayes chances against tua...is it possible this fight could be on the horizon?

Decent weight for Tua, but in the past he looked better physically with more weight on. Against Lewis or Moorer for example. It seems he lost much muscle. Not a bad thing maybe, but he could be more ripped and even lighter that way. But on the other hand, he was never ripped, even when he weighed under 225 in his early bouts.

Tua better step up after this. He's going to get through Barrett pretty quick I think.

He was in his best ever condition for the Byrd fight in 2001, but he actually looked to be in worse condition cardio wise during that bout. It was possibly due to overtraining and cutting too much weight in a short period of time.
