His left hook destined him to be a champion but problems with his manager Kevin Barry interfered with his career.

-- I'm a Tua fan but this is a ridiculous statement and certainly not NPOV. Some might argue his lack of discipline, conditioning and limited style has played a bigger part that problems with his manager.

Alternatively you could look at it and say at the very least it did basically end his carreer a lot earlier due to his problems with his manager. Mathmo 06:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Overhaul

I'm removing the long list of his professional record; no other boxer on Wikipedia (that I've seen) has his entire record listed, and it is available on Boxrec (which I'm adding a link to). Also, I'm adding the boxer infobox. --Tthaas 13:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

Rewrote most of comeback and added external reference links. Added Video Links section. Deleted the talk page as it was old and the discussed changes had been done. BooneDoc 07:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Restored Deletion of previous discussions as that was a violation of Talk Page Guidelines. Old discussion can be archived once excessive, but it hasn't reached that point yet. Retaining the old discussion should deter people from recreating content that was removed. dramatic 08:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks dramatic - I'm a newbie and appreciated the pointers. BooneDoc 20:24, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
