with all the clowns in the heavyweight division especially since ruiz is back ( he shouldnt be aloud near a ring unless he pays for a ticket ), i think a tua / tyson matchup is called for. both guys are in need of a big money fight and it would be supported by lightweight "tysons going to beat lewis fans ". a 300 pound tua against a physically and mentally unfit tyson could be hilariously dangerous for both. tua by DQ in the 5th.

I think it would just be a toe to toe slugfest with Tua winning by KO.

Why do people think Tua would win, who had he ever beat besides Ruiz, ans Moorer, Im sure Tyson woulda stopped Ruiz in 1 in 1996 or Moorer in 1. Tyson has more skills than Tua, I think Tyson would kill Tua especially since Tua comes in now at like 250 and hes only like 5'9.

Tua has a damn near iron chin. Mike wouldnt be able to knock him down and he would take a hell of a lot of punishment in return

Better question. Who the hell has Tyson beat since 96? Since he got raped by Lewis? Quit on a journeyman? Tyson a joke. Any bum in the division would beat Tyson today. 1989 is gone, get over it.

I think Tua wins by brutal KO. I agree that Tua has a way better chin than Mike. Mike has shown that he falls apart when he doesn't get the early KO and the guy keeps coming. Tyson isn't that difficult to hit anymore. I can't see why Tua wouldn't connect and give him Tyson the worst beating ever.
