David Tua vs Mike Tyson

We never get anywhere in these threads but it's fun. lol

Tyson is a smaller but faster and with better boxing skills and defence than Tua, I just think Tua's jaw and power inside evens the playing field. Obviously I don't mortgage my house betting on Tua, I just think it would make for a great fight and would be a lot closer than most people think.

It may very do that. I think Tua would have a puncher's chance and if it got past the first 3-4 rounds Tua's chances would go up dramatically. Historically, once Tyson sees he can't knock someone out with his first assaults it eats at his will and confidence and he morphs into a different type of fighter.

A Tyson with less confidence, who in turn becomes more stationary and easier to hit, would be ripe pickings for Tua.

Yeah, its great fun. Well that is until someone acts like the prototypical punk and starts flaming people for not agreeing with their opinion. Thats when it sucks.

How dare you even suggest such a thing. lol I think Tyson would come out and really look for the knockout early. If he realized he was in for a long fight, he would calm down and pace himself. The only fights Tyson became sluggish in, came after Rooney.

Rooney is the one who said Tyson became rattled when he couldn't get someone out in the first 3-4 rounds. He said at times he became so frustrated he seemed like he wanted to quit. Atlas said that as well.

Yeah, but it's tough to go by what they said because they were both told to take a hike, thus losing probably millions of dolors as a result. But, I'll be the first to admit he wasn't perfect.

I'm sure Teddy had a vendetta, but I think Rooney truthfully cared and wanted to take care of Mike. If it hadn't been for Robin Givens none of this garbage would have happened.

I think as the years went on and Rooney seen that Tyson wasn't going to hire him back, he began to resent Mike. Yep, that ***** messed everything up. lol

Well, if I can get one new person to watch the Tua/Ruiz fight (especially the people who hate Ruiz) or the Tua/Moorer fight, I'll be happy. Plus I've changed my initial opinion about Tua smoking Tyson.

To be honest, and frank, those two fights aren't a major accomplishment when arguing the greatness of a fighter. Michael Moore, even thought he beat Holyfield, never was much at heavyweight and Ruiz...well his resume speaks for itself.
