Prime Mike Tyson VS Prime David Tua

[The Surgeon]

Both prime for prime, I have Tyson beating Tua. I dout by knockout do.Both Punch very hard, both around the same height.Tyson would use his angles, his speed, his fast combinations, his head movement, his boxing brain, while Tua is very slow footed and would walk on to a lot.Tyson had alot more in his tool box than Tua and this would play a big part in the fight..

Tha the fight im seeing Southpaw

i have that in my collection. to this day i'm shocked how easily savon khtfo.

must be the weight drain.

tua is about 36 now. so i'd say 19. he was definitely 200 lbs.

tua was better off fighting as a cruiser. maybe he'd have took better care of himself.

i see his body when he turned pro at 205 lbs. or so...... man so much difference from the 250 lb. guy that fought lennox.

Yeah when he turned Pro with Duva and Benson they bulked him up from 14 stone to 17 and half stone.

Tua gets KOed by No Mortal Man !

Tyson won most of his fights by fear , what happend when fighters did not fear him ? he got TKOed !

Tua Fears No Mortal Man !

Tua overpowers Tyson and takes him out late , Tua by TKO

tyson was in his prime when douglas knocked him out.

How could Tyson be in his prime when he wasn't training and living the life of a lush during that time?

Money, women, and the good life will rob you of any prime. We could say that he should of been in his prime for the Douglas fight.

shame. 15 stone would have been perfect for his height.

Money, women, and the good life will rob you of any prime. We could say that he should of been in his prime for the Douglas fight.

so changing trainers , marrying a gold digging whore and being rich means you're not prime anymore?

that's too much.

he was still young , he was still in good shape (220 lbs. for douglas fight) come on now too much excuse for mike.

being past prime should be only attributed to too many wars and damage , getting old , being out of shape and long absence from boxing.

post-prison mike i can understand you say is past prime. the buster mike just got beat by a more determined fighter that night.

If Tyson paced himself and fought a smart fight he could very well win a comfortable decision. But if he stood brawling with Tua he'd get worn down and possibly stopped late on. Tyson was just on another level as far as fundamentals go.

i wouldnt be suprised if every poster saying Tua was on Left Hooks payroll

[Fenom]

btw i say Tyson takes it
