    that was prime tyson , bud. sorry to break it to you. all that bull about mike being out of shape and not trained was damage control. mike wasn't beating buster that night. that was buster's finest moment.

    foreman's roundhouse right was the 2nd most devastating punch ever in boxing imo. 2nd only to shaver's overhand.

    pop in frazier-foreman. that's what tyson-foreman would look like except tyson would've lasted longer because he was more durable and had a better chin than joe.
    Cosign. And people can laugh at me all they want, but I still think prime, 225 lb Tua (like the one that fought Ibeabuchi) would have given Mike all he could handle.

      How many heavyweight titles has David Tua won?? It would be a good fight but Tyson would take care of Tua.

        2. How long has it been since Wlad beat Sanders?
        That's my point. Wlad know his shortcomings and has adapted since getting smoked by Sanders. It's been years since that fight and Wlad is a different fighter.

          How many HW champs has he annihilated. Just because Tua has a crap manager and lost decisions to a slick young Byrd, a prime Lennox Lewis and an Ibeabuchi that would have been a champ if he hadn't gone crazy (probably due to Tua's bombs.) Hell Ike's another guy that probably would've beaten Tyson.

            Yes, but Tyson wasn't the biggest HW ever either. Also, Louis fought some giants, namely Primo and Abe Simon.

              mike would've won a ud or late tko......but if he tires or gets discouraged......tua is one tough sob.

                  I just cant bring myself to rate Wlad, maybe its just that im uninspired by the current HW era, im not sure. I would back Lennox to KO Wlad because if he hit him with one of those bombs he would go IMO. If the fight did go the distance then the younger Wlad would take a wide UD.

                    200 to 220 is a sizeable difference.

                      Today is our day to disagree. Tyson wasn't known as a late round fighter and so I see no way how he scores a late TKO against the granite chin of Tua.
