Dream Fight..prime Tyson Vs Prime Tua?

rahman said lewis hit the hardest followed by corrie sanders so tua aint the hardest hitter at heavy

Tyson has a chin made of granite. He was never stopped off one single punch. People had to beat him down to KO him... tysons chin was far from granite, he has been ko'd more than any champion except buster douglass who consequently...knocked out mike tyson

would be a great action packed fight

A prime Mike Tyson would win against Tua. Tyson would be to hard to hit. And I know Mike Tyson got beat by Buster Douglas in his prime but Tyson did not train hard for that fight and he did knock down Douglas and I thought Buster was down longer than a ten count. "Watch the replay of the fight" :boxing:

Same style? Hey I'm probably the biggest Tua fan on this site (okay well maybe I need to hand down the title if you are comparing him to Tyson) but he is several levels below Tyson. In his prime he was gifted with a big punch and a chin but on a technical level, and in terms of athleticism, he is nothing like Tyson. They are the same height, that's about it. He is stronger than Tyson, and he has a better chin. Those are his two advantages. Those two attributes pitted against the head movement, handspeed, killer instinct, and power of a prime Tyson. There's no way Tua would be competitive enough to last the duration of the fight. I actually think Tex Cobb, taller, strong as hell and competent on the inside, is a good example of a tough limited fighter who would take Tyson the distance. But no way does Tua hear the final bell in this fight.

very disappointing fight. no matter how you look at it, its gonna be an early round KO by someone. i'd lean towards tyson due to speed factor. i know they both have iron chins but there is too much devastation to take. id rather see prime Foreman vs prime Tyson

it would be a weird ass fight.since they both have the same style it would be who burns out first.

Tyson UD12.

Poor Tua would just be an easy target. He'd soak up a ridiculous amount of punishment until they'd have to stop the bloodbath. I like Tua, and he could really take a punch, but a chin is no substitute for boxing skills and mobility.

Tua Does Have A Better Chin Than Tyson. I know.....damn that would be interesting........I think Tua would have taken him out.

Call me crazy, but I think this is the ONE fighter Tyson would have had problems with in his prime. Tua's chin is the best chin maybe of all time. Tyson has a good one, but Tua simply hasn't ever been rocked that bad. I think Tua wins by late TKO because Tyson folds when he sees the opponent isn't going anywhere and is trading bombs with him. Maybe Tyson's body work brings Tua down, but I seriously think Tua wins this one. Anybody else post Ali gets their ass kicked by a prime Tyson in my book. Then again...maybe Ike could have taken Tyson.

Tua Does Have A Better Chin Than Tyson. Tyson has a chin made of granite. He was never stopped off one single punch. People had to beat him down to KO him...

mayb, but i think tyson jus had a bad night then. i mean he still took some good shots for 10 rounds

not a prime tyson now yeah, not then though tyson could literally destroy ANYONE in his prime man and hwen i mean prime, i mean b4 he went to jail Except Buster Douglas I guess?
