David Tua was a guy i never enjoyed watching. his chin was so sturdy so you knew he wasnt getting knocked out, but his punch output was sluggish as fukk. he would always get stuck on these don king shyt cards that were boring as fukk. cept....when he knocked out ruiz it was hilarious, however his fight with Ibeabuchi was .....well thats the one fight i can say i did enjoy that, but jesus christ nikka, i hated chris byrd, hes an admirable guy whom as a person and skills wise he did what he could with what he had, but his style WAS NOT fun to watch. Unlike Rigo and Floyd dude was honestly just trying to score points, its hard to explain, but tuas match with chris byrd and further fights really made me dislike watching him. He was like a heavyweight rocky juarez.
Speaking of juarez, you ever seen somebody just not give a fukk about anything ever? that nikka gotta be the calmest nikka ever. Tua is like tthat to me, always trying to get that one fukking shot.
Sugar Shane at one point was such a beast i wasnt sure how anyone could possibly beat him. but at the time in 1998 i was boxing and my coach had told me that shane really lacked head movement and liked to admire his punches, for all his speed, he had virtually no defense. Looking back his resume at the lighter weights was super thin, john john and leija etc that first de la hoya fight really put him on the map however.
his KO streak was still a sight to behold. I didint see the fights with vernon forrest until later because of my time in the military. I actually didint get to see a shane fight until i saw him fight winky wright and it pretty much showed that his demon was a tall guy with any kind of jab and movement. Hes so complacent, and his power didint carry over into the higher weights for the most part, to me his highlight was beating de la hoya, then robbing de la hoya in the second fight (lol oscar won that shyt) but easily and this has to be said, demolishing Vargas and Margarito. Mosley and Nazim deserve congressional medals for ending the margarito train. I was on boxingscene heavy in 06-07-08 you guys have no idea how hyped that guy was it was nuts and fukking annoying. I mean this is when me and
@Knicksman20 were in constant contact via PM because the racism was so heavy. I honestly thought shane was gonna get stopped but when they found the shyt in the gloves, i couldnt believe it. When you saw margrito you didint see that machismo, he didint look confident and proceeded to get his sorry cheating ass beat.
You have to give mosley credit for this, he almost had me crying in the car in may of 2010. When mayweather caught that overhand stray it told you ALOT about floyd and how smart he is, he hung on for dear life, jesus christ, and then proceeded to keep fighting. People talk about floyd "only cares about his 0" you damn right he does, and he was willin to do whatver to keep it, including hold, counter, go to the body and had mosley winded later int he fight, Nazim almost threw in the fukking towel.
TO THIS DAY nikkas SWEAR mayweather avoided shane, "i wanna spend time with my family, and my tooth bruh" fukk up nikka. I liked shane, i still do, but its honestly time for him to hang it up. His defects were there in 97, they are worse in 16, its been over 20 years, i just want him to stop and save his health.
Also, yall remember them depositions about balco, how in one video he was answering questions and then in the next, he had on these glasses, i cant really explain why its so funny but someone on the
had me dying with their breakdown.
