Prime Tua vs Prime Tyson

[Boogie Nights]

their power is equal.

mike had the speed and skills advantage.

tua however had the better chin and probably more heart and stamina. maybe that'll be enough.

tua had more stamina because he fought at his own pace, and of course him constantly going up in weight worsened his conditioning. Im a fan of Tua as well as Mike, but ive seen fights where Tua would tire in the later rounds even back when he was 220ish.

their chins were equal, dont let the Lewis fight fool you that Tua went 12 rounds where Mike was ktfo. Tua did take punishment and gave a balsy performance, but took nowhere near the vicious punishment that Mike took. Lenny was moving back from Tua allowing him be the ineffective agressor, while piling away the points on his jab. Against Tyson from second round on he was moving forward and pushing Mike back while letting his right hand score early.

Lazy Lennox showed up against Tua. If you need to look further than that for proof just remember that Lewis-Tua was a boring fight, while Tyson-Lewis was a massacre. I doubt Tua would remain on his feet against Lennox that showed against Tyson. Lewis himself said that it was the most he ever been motivated for any fight with exception to Rahman rematch.

And i also wonder in which fight Tua demostrated he had more heart than Mike?

In fact Tyson's chin was better. He has never been knocked down with 1 single punch to the head unlike mr crappy haircut. It took a huge amount of flush power punches for a long time to take him down. Tua is lucky he hasn't taken such a beating yet.

40 years old and racist as hell. For a guy that was born during the civil rights movement, that's just plain sad.

Tua is very overated and has lost every time he has fought above class C opponents with the exception of an old Michael Moorer and catching John Ruiz cold, Mike Tyson would do a similar job to what Felix Savon done on David Tua, blow him away in the opening round.

I don't think an 18 year old kid taking an early stoppage from one of the greatest amateur HWs ever (in his absolute prime) should be held against him. I'd favor Mike, based on advantages in skills and speed, but saying this one ends in the first is absurd.

Of course you favour David Tua.Nobody debates that a prime David Tua beats a Prime Lennox Lewis like one would argue that a prime Mike Tyson knocks out a prime Lennox Lewis.You're an annoying turd who happens to be an insecure lennox lewis fan.Who feels the need to consistently try and discredit the likes of Mike Tyson and Rid**** Bowe,Two men who in their primes many think would have beaten Lennox Lewis.I don't necessarily agree with that but it is what others happen to believe.Time to grow up,son.Time to grow up and realize people have different opinions




well thought out post,dunce.Congratulations

well said post.. the WWW is full of young so-called boxing fans who repeatedly try this stunt on a daily basis
