Tyson has the edge in speed, I think their power is equal, but Tua has more heart and his cardio was better in the latter rounds.
I always felt Tua would out**** Tyson.
There was a time when a lot of people with very little understanding of the intricacies of the sport thought that to be a possibility.
Tua had one punch, no footwork, no real method to his approach...He would try to wade in and catch people with his left hook.
Tyson had power in both hands, speed in his feet, used a methodical approach to getting at his man, pioneered by Dempsey. Golota was held up as being able to also catch Tyson. Again, Golota had good punch selection, speed, and was not slow with his feet, so he had a lot more than Tua. But Mike came at him with all his gifts... the rest was history.

Tyson gets discouraged after 4 rounds. Tua possibly stops him late
