Who was the better Prospect?

It's between Ayala and Davis Jr. for me. Both of them had ATG potential.

Im going to go with Ayala. Tua had his chances. All I know is I really wish we all could have seen a David Tua-Mike Tyson fight. That would have been WW3.

big ike... just ask chris byrd... what a waste though!

Come on it has to be Davis Jr......outstanding boxer at the '76 olympics.... Speaks for itself. plus he's from my town.

Here is EVERYTHING you need to know about Ayala. One of the best articles on Boxing, or anythin at that, that I have read. Here you go. http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/2228/tony-ayala-best-prospect-all-time/ Thanks man very intresting read

Ricardo Williams defeated Holyfield 3 times in the amatuers right? I think that speaks for itself. No ricardo williams the silver medialist at the 2000 games

Tua, but Tua was packed into such a deep Heavyweight division with Lennox, Ike, Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe etc.

I voted for Tua. If David Tua would have been better managed, he would have held at least one world heavyweight title, maybe more. Ayala EASY. My dad saw him train and saw many off his fights. My dad says he was a phenomenon. He said the he would have beat Hagler because Marvin wasnt skilled enpugh for Tony. Beat Hearns because Hearns was too fragile and had too much body, and that Tony would have broke his ribs in 7 or 8. Sugar Ray ala Cotto vs Margs. He said that he could probably get Duran but he wasnt sure because Duran was a beast, but it would be a back and forth fight, and probably the main fight he would want to watch of all time. And that MAYBE Benitez would outbox him, because Wilfredo was really smooth and boxed very well. But my dad said he would have PROBABLY caught up to Wilfredo late if they were going 15 rounds. Was it true that he really didnt train and smoked crack in between fights? if so the guy was on a different planet talent wise.

I voted for Tua. If David Tua would have been better managed, he would have become a heavyweight champion. Got to agree with you there, knocked out 4 fighters who went on to win world titles and knocked out a old micheal moorer. Back in the day the guy was a animal. Just think how good felix savon could of been he knocked tua out in a round back in the amatures.

I vote tua..... for Left Hook Tua ;)
