Is David Tua better then Mike Tyson?

[Freddy Krueger]

Tua has never gotten a IBO belt or anything close to it .

Look at all the fighters Tua lost to, Tua lost to great/good fighters like Lewis, Ike, Byrd. Compare those losses to the like of douglas, mcbride, and williams. And quit with the excuses why Tyson lost to limited fighters.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

I would say they are pretty close really... would like to see Tua pick up a belt, if Haye wins or something i can see it happen for sure, if he hits Wlad flush also, Wlad would most likely go if not its Lewis vs Tua revisted.

If you had fed tua all the bums tyson has faced he would have beaten them all, he also would not have lost to the bums tyson lost to.

It's amazing how limited your boxing IQ is. If you knew anything about Tyson, you would know that he was an old man against McBride and Williams.

******ed thread.

Tyson is clearly the more accomplished of the two.

[The Underboss]

Yes Tua is the better fighter head to head.

Resume wise its pretty close, Tyson has one good win, Larry Holmes, Tua doesnt have as good a name as spinks but then tua also never got ktfo 5 times

is this guy serious?

holmes? the only 'good' win in tyson's resume? ...

What about Trevor Berbick? who was the one that retired Ali? What about Michael Spinks? who took Larry Holmes' undefeated record away?

What about Pinklon Thomas? What about Frank Bruno?

you don't know **** about boxing, so please save yourself the embarrasment.

[street bully]

Wtf? Tyson > Tua in every way all day everyday.

I agree completely.

who gives a fuck?

Tua has had 3 chances at winning a world title AND FAILED!

Tyson's accomplishments:

-Youngest HW to win the Heavyweight title (at 20)
-2 times HW champion (2nd time after beating Frank Bruno in the 2nd fight)
-defended the undisputed titles 6 times (WBC,IBF,WBA)
-Knocked out 2 Hall of Famers who were never KNOCKED OUT before facing Tyson (Holmes and Spinks).

Tua's accomplishments:

-Won WBC INTERNATIONAL Heavyweight Title
-Won IBF INTERCONTINENTAL Heavyweight Title

Don't make me laugh kid.

Buster Douglas would've beaten David Tua .
