Mike Tyson vs David Tua

[RichCCFC]

I was just going through some Tua knock out videos again on youtube and I've wondered if this match up has ever been asked on here? Both of them are stocky and devastating punchers. Tua has a great chin too which makes this fight even more interesting, who do you think would win?

IMO Tyson by KO. Tyson in his prime was fater, better footwork, more clever boxer and with much explosivnes.

I favour Tyson, but Tua's chin wasn't going anywhere.

When would this match have taken place. Five years ago? Ten years ago? 2008?

Prime for Prime.

Tyson would be the obvious pick because he is a lot faster than Tua but Tua has a great chin. I voted for Tyson, btw..

i dont think tyson can ko tua ok. i say tua by ko o decision.

Tua would beat Tyson in his peak, simply because he has too much heart and late knockout power. I can go through a list of fighters that actually fought Tyson back and he started to go passive. Tua has too much heart, power, determination, will and confidence. He would stop Tyson late while trailing on the cards.

Yea cause thats a world of difference right there.

On the one hand, Tyson was by far the better fighter, but you gotta wonder could Tua's chin be cracked?? Tyson hadda good chin but he wasnt knockout proof..

I would pick the late 80's Tyson over any version of Tua. If it's the late 90's Tyson, it gets more interesting.
