Mike Tyson vs. David Tua

I think Tua's got an edge on power and toughness. Tyson's superior in elusiveness, which helps him avoid punches and set up punches. Prime Tyson vs. prime Tua - Tyson probably wins. Tua has a punchers chance. Present Tyson vs. present Tua - Whoever wants it more. Whoever shows up in good condition and fights with more heart.

you think Holyeild was on steriods but not Tyson? yes i do , tyson was 13 and could bench press 250. ive never seen heavyweight as ripped as holyfield and he used to be lightheavy. moorer worked hard as hell in the weight room and he had bigger legs and he never looked like holyfield. holyfield also said he lifted everyday that impossible unless your on steroids

are you all crazy tyson ate up small heavyweights. except envander holyroid. any fighter tysons size doesnt stand a chance unless james toney was 220 of pure muscle like tyson , not the steroided up stiff james toney either. you think Holyeild was on steriods but not Tyson?

Tua has never been down (atleast not officially, the Rahman KD was after the bell) but if he fought Tyson, his chin would definatly be tested. Tua may very well be KO'd in the early rounds, but Tyson would fade and Tua has demonstrated that he has power late in a fight, as he did against Oquendo. So, if it goes into the later rounds, Tua wins by KO. If not, it could go either way but I'd give the edge to Tyson because he is a more versitile fighter. My pick: Tua by KO in 7. actaully tua was stopped in the amatuers by going down several times

Prime Tyson VS Prime Tua, I'd say Tyson. He was the best in the late 80's, undisputed HW champ. Tua isn't close. Of course they both have KO power that can finish a fight anytime. But i'd give the advantage to Tyson. But if they fight right now, I'd give it to Tua. Tyson's too old, too slow, while Tua is still fighting competitively.

I dont think any year Tyson could KO Tua , his chin is much better then Tyson and a one punch KO power that Tyson never really had , prime Tyson would have to use every bit of speed and boxing skill to win a 12D At this stage Tyson would not last 3 rounds before getting KTFO !

i say tyson ko's him fast..tua fought LL..but aside from that has never fought a guy who was short like him and packed a punch..meaninh tua for once can get uppercut...and for the first time he would feel total power right on his chin..and i think he would get ko'ed tyson 1-2rounds ur ignorant..tua has a granite chin and punches harder then tyson

david tua has never been knocked out but i think whoever lands the first big blow 50/50

is that why tua never won a title cause he was so good :rolleyes: no,,,,he's one dimensional but the problem is,,,tyson is that bad now

david tua would k.o tyson in the first round. That's ridiculous man. There is no way in sam hell Tua would finish him in 1 round given they fought in their primes. I just don't see it. You'd have to draw up a really good explaination for someone to believe that one. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

david tua would k.o tyson in the first round...tyson couldn't see tua in distance either...especially now days...and plus, samoans are known for their power and strength...especially if u were raised in the islands of samoa. is that why tua never won a title cause he was so good :rolleyes:

uh, did you see the shots Tua took from Lewis & Ibeabuchi? He wasn't fazed. What makes you think a washed up Tyson could KO Tua? I dont see Tyson beating any significant heavy today. For all of you who say Tua has never been fazed. Take a look at the BIRD fight. Bird almost got him out of there with a body shot. Tua can be hurt and knocked out.

truth apologies...I need to pay more attention :D

Diego, marvdave and everybody else...look at the date when this was made: 10-11-2004, 05:34 PM #1...Its old, someone braught it back. Tyson is done now.

this thread is old and he didnt even start it my bad..I just get tired of Tyson talk..we all need to turn the page

uhm,,,tua fought Ibeabuchi,,maskeav,,,,and rahman twice. was never hurt by any of them and tyson has lost to 2 bums in a row and he can beat tua? my god your stupid the guy also never put in prime neither which sucked. but it would go the distance with tyson winning

and just another insight of tyson being a harder hitter is tyson had 24 lst round kos compared to tuas 15 1st round kos. and tyson didnt jus knockout of there prime ppl in those kos

I love ya truth but enough with Tyson. Tua's wife would beat him at this point. Tyson is past done. this thread is old and he didnt even start it
