Remember heavyweight David Tua? At one time, in the second half of the 1990s, the Samoan knockout artist from New Zealand was the No. 1 contender. He was powering through the division and knocking everyone out, including several top opponents of his day -- John Ruiz, David Izon, Hasim Rahman and Oleg Maskaev. But when he got his long-awaited title shot in 2000, he ran into a prime Lennox Lewis and lost a decisive decision. Tua continued to fight, although he had multiple lengthy layoffs and was never really ever a top contender again.
