you might be right, you might be wrong, either way, he still will get a title shot, its actually gonna happen, wether you like it or not, and same to Kali Meehan, same say he's too tall, but like Tua, whatever anybody say's, he too is destined for his 2nd title shot..GO KALI..GO DT..
and of course SC,who by the way, has only one loss..Shane Cameron, has a similar situation as Kali,who fought in Aus., and NZ.,didn't take him long to make his mark at the states,SC, will be the same as well,Boy that guy got power, all right, he'll def. do the damage as well,Everybody knows, his achilles heel, is above his eye's,hell, they'll fix that,he's aNOTHER KIWI,,GO SC... |

| present day middleweights like hopkins, mosley would have cleaned up all the heavyweights back in the day, they were slow moving,lacked defence/ offensive strategic plans,knock em out in 1 or 2, or 3, not 20-50 rounds, so they lacked technique..tom heeny was of Irish decent, and rep Hawke's bay-Poverty bay team against the 1921 springboks.. |

| kevin barry got his medal, becoz someone was disqualified, that someone was none other than evander holyfied, pummeling KB to the floor, ignoring the ref's calls to stop, at their light-heavyweight 1984, olympics, resulting in a KB win.. |

| check that out, as recent as the early 90's, our own Jimmy (thunder)Peau, was a WBO heavyweight champion of the world,now held by Wladimer Klitschko, who beat Sultan Ibragimov for it..DT will definetly get another go, unless another kiwi gets a title shot before DT.Kali Meehan, a 6'5 giant, by way of Fiji, ranked in the top ten, in all the 4 major boxing bodies, should be granted a title shot soon, another kiwi, check him on youtube, and of course Shane Cameron, also doing the hard yards... |

| oh, i forgot, so did jimmy thunder, he held the WBO belt, in the early 90's, bob fitzsimmons,tom heeny, ok, nearly 100 yrs ago,didn't anyone followed heavyweight boxing around here,tom heeny ain't maori, got offered to wear a maori cloak for good luck,though, from a widow of a friend, before he challenged Gene Tunny, for the heavyweight title, it sure didn't work, as he was knocked out by Gene in the 11th round.Sorry for the early hiccup, there were 4 kiwi's challenging for the world title, resulting in 2 defeats, and 2 victories..What about tysons challenge against lennix lewis, you didn't find that funny did you? |

| Who's comparing, tyson is taller than tua, would be a good match, both can throw knockout bombs,but, one thing Tua got that TYson ain't got,is a chin,perfectly exhibited by the great Lennix Lewis, where Tyson could only muster 4-6 rounds,wheras David..DT was Evander Holyfields sparring partner, preparing Holyfield for TYson, eventually knocking him out, in one of the sparring sessions.. |
