Yup, the timing of it all just didn't work out for Tua. I'll go one more step in saying not only is he one of the best HWs to never hold a title, he's also the hardest puncher to never hold one, because in my opinion he hit just as hard as Shavers did, and Tua's chin was way ahead of Ernie's
@mallokribi3326

@@milojanis4901 I always say that the hardest puncher of all time (heavyweights) are Earnie Shavers and David Tua. Following by George Foreman, Sonny Liston, Wladimir Klitschko (all 3 same power) and Deontay Wilder's right hand. If George Foreman (more the 70's George) put his weights and use more his hipps, i think that he could be the hardest puncher ever. Just see his fight against Jose Roman. He put a bit his weight in his last punch (uppercut) and nearly killed the guy

+Ben Alefosio Mike Tyson at his heaviest was 239 Pounds in comparison to a guy like David Tua who reached 253 pounds in 2000, which is also where Tua started having weight problems. How is that even fair for both guys? Tua was also 245 pounds when he lost To Lennix Lewis. Tyson was past his prime in 2000. The best time for that fight to have happened was in 1996 when Tyson weighed 225 pounds. Tua was also 225 in 1996 when he KO'd John Ruiz but it wasn't going to happen anyway because Tyson had fought Evander Holyfield in 1996. Tyson weighed 218 during the rematch in 1997 but had his license revoked after that fight. David Tua was 228 pounds in 1997. It was never going to happen because of circumstances, not fear or any other B.S. Both guys would have fought anyone at that time.
