Yeah Duncan, I'm with James. Buy a dictionary, then you can look up dfeintions. And spelling. That is, if you're intersted.

Terrible, misleading headline. Tua should sue for defamation...if anyone cared for Duncan Johnstone's opinion that is!

Tua isn't shunning NZ. He's doing what he should have been doing the last 5 or so years.. Instead of fighting legal battles he's now getting back in the ring with the big boys. Good on ya David.I Hope you get your shot.

Instead of Tua 'shuns' NZ, why not be positive with a title such as: Tua reclaiming world stage?

"Tua shuns NZ for bigger stages" You wouldn't think so reading the article.

I wish Moari TV would do the right thing and release or loosen Tua from their contract.

David has gotten too big for them and by being greedy and holding him to the current terms and conditions all they are doing is helping to chase him offshore.

Regardless, I hope David does great his next fight. Go the Tuaman!

Good on him! Why stay in smallville where you are just a tax number on a welfare form?

Good on ya David. We all hope to see you in the ring doing your best. it's a pity mts only had their own means in sight. Give 'em a taste of Kiwi-ish.

YAY! Sanity prevails!!

Duco are amateurs... Ahunanya is semi active at best. the only reason why there's any interest in him at all is because he beat Cameron. and we all now know what level Cameron is on.

David Tua Vs Ahunanya is an insult to the NZ sporting public.

Khali Meehan has publicly stated he is willing to fight Tua. Oliver McCall's manager recently said they would be interested in coming down to NZ to fight Tua.

But lets be honest here... if David Tua is serious about being a genuine heavyweight contender he needs to step up to the plate and make the fight with Chris Arreola happen. but with Bloodworth unavailable, December is probably out of the question.

Tua at the moment poses far too much risk for very little reward, so the current contenders wont touch Tua with a bargepole. Arreola however has been calling out Tua for a couple of years now.

So obviously that's Tua's big chance.

An early 2010 fight with Arreola will be the only realistic springboard Tua will get to a world title fight in 2010.

Don't you think the wording 'Tua shuns NZ for bigger stages' is making it out as if Tua is turning his back on New Zealand? Tua hasn't got much time left in his career so of course he is going ot fight bouts with bigger purses. Duncan Johnstone, you are a journalist, buy a dictionary, put it beside your computer and everytime you think about writing an article look up the word 'objective', if you've never come across the word before you'll be intersted in hte dfeintion 'Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices'. Look it up, hey maybe even print it off and share it with your colleagues.
