Is David Tua better then Mike Tyson?

[George W Bush]

Mike Tyson gets no ****ing respect. Is David Tua better? GTFO.

[kocface]

TYSON UNIFIED the heavyweight division TUA DID NOT

[BEEHOP]

Prime Tyson would KO TUA.

[Princemanspopa]

Remind me who a prime Mike Tyson beat other than Spinks.


I am wondering if Tua actually has the better resume.

Carl Williams
Frank Bruno 2x
Michael Spinks
Larry Holmes
Razor Ruddock 2x
Tony Tucker
Trevor Berbick
Tony Tubbs
Andrew Golota
Pinklon Thomas
Bonecrusher Smith

Some of those wins occured when Tyson was way past his prime,but they were wins over top heavyweights,which was why I included them.

David Tua's resume

Oleg Maskaev
Hasim Rahman
Fres Oquendo
Michael Moorer



If you really have to wonder about that,then I suggest you actually start watching boxing.

Not to derail the thread or anything but...

Why did Weatherspoon and Tyson never fight?

Tim Witherspoon turned down the offer claiming that the pay was too low.He had alot of issues with Don King concerning how much money he was receiving.

BRUNO!

BRUNO!

Bruno was trash lmfao!

Judge: Tony Castellano 57-57
Judge: Jerry Roth 57-57
Judge: Adrian Morgan 55-59

Two even and one clear scoring in frank Bruno's favour after six rounds, have any idea which fight this was?

Tyson will obviously go down in history as the more accomplished fighter, but I agree Tua would've beaten most of the people Tyson fought and I think a prime Tua could've beaten a prime Tyson.

Mike Tyson is known as one of the best HW's of all time.

David Tua is known as a good HW in his era.

No competition here, Tyson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tua.

[VibesMan]

Lay down the crack pipe Fred, and for that matter any one else who would suggest the Samoan snacker has a better resume than Tyson or any claim to be a better fighter.

As a few have mentioned head to head and prime for prime it's explosive and could go either way although I'd take Tyson's speed, footwork and upper body movement to take it.

If you're gonna talk Tyson losses, let's stick with the Douglas/Holyfield ones shall we and not the farce of Williams/McBride. That's not being an apologist just a realist. It's like denigrating SRL coz Camacho beat him.

[Kiid Dynamite]

helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

noooo

[KILLA RIGHT]

They are the same...tyson is the most overhyped boxer of all time

[RockyB]

Mike Tyson in his prime would be the first to knock Tua out.
