What would Prime Tyson vs Prime Tua be like?

[sonnyboyx2]

Tua wins by stoppage most probable , the next most probable outcome is Tyson by decision , the next is Tua by decision and the least is Tyson by stoppage.
Tua has the edge in both chin and stamina , probably a power advantage , and was tougher mentally . Tua was nothing like Tyson's opposition. Tua was a much more dangerous opponent for Tyson than every man who ever beat Tyson , maybe except of Lewis .

howler of the year".your posts get more ridiculous by the day.

80's Tyson vs Tua from the Ruiz Massacre.

I know everyone will say Tyson wins, but how?

Tua took everything Ibeabuchi and Lewis had and never really even looked hurt, so i doubt mike blasts him out.

Tua can hit as hard as Tyson can, and is fast too, he has a better chin and is physically and mentally stronger.

Tua will still be there late in the fight giving Tyson hell

how does this fight play out?

Power:Equal?
Handspeed:Tyson
Footspeed:Tyson
Intangibles:Equal?
Defense:Tyson
Offense:Tyson

I think Tyson wins this by late stoppage (TKO), I think Tua's heart and chin allows him to whether the early barrage(rounds 1-4), but he will end of taking way to much punishment as the fight wears on. Maybe Tua's team calls a halt by around round 9

Blueprint: Tyson vs Ruddock I

Post Prison I would favour Tua, but prime 4 prime I have to favour Tyson

Tyson would take tua apart eventually KO him.

I think Tyson would quit on his stool after about 4 rounds.

Tyson would be shading the rounds, but getting hit and hurt, Tua would be coming on strong and Mike would ***** out.

The only time I recall Tyson was quitting was when he was an old shot fighter.He certainly never went into survival mode the way Tua did against Lennox Lewis.

An all out war!! Tyson by late round stoppage.

Tua will hit Tyson harder than he ever get hit and Tyson was stopped pre as well as post prison as you know.
In addition Tua could take punishment better than anyone Tyson had ever faced in his entire career.
Combine these 2 and the fact that Tyson did not have a size advantage over Tua which was the reason for Tua's sole loss and get a Tua stoppage win over Tyson.

Tua did not go into survival mode and Tyson was KO'd by the same Lewis who couldn't put Tua away.
Tyson was 1 year younger than Lewis himself , so spare the old excuse.
Lewis was just 2 tall for Tua 2 land something on. It could be seen early in the fight that Tua caught Lewis near the ropes and landed but the punch was 2 stretched and lost its leverage and momentum by the time it reached.

Tua was as content to get his ears boxed off as Lewis was to coast.He felt Lewis's power early and never took the risk to really get close to Lewis again.


Different fighters peak at different times.Tyson was still a good fighter when he came back,but after Holyfield, he was nothing more than a name.



Tua has fought and knocked out quite a few fighters of similar height and reach as Lewis.
