Why do most of you think Tua hits harder than Tyson?
John Ruiz....
Tua didnt strick fear into his opponents and knocked their asses silly. Mikes opponents were scared and defeated before stepping into the ring, everytime someone stood up to him he lost.
I have no clue who hits harder than who and I am not about to find out either but with Tyson's speed in his prime I would pick Tyson to be the heavy hitter out of the two.
Tua's KOing people was deceptive in its own way, also....most of 'em were come from behind on the cards - when the other fighter goes into cruise control - KOs.
Fear had always been his biggest weapon. I will say, when he was 19-25, he hit like a freight train. He still does. I just think he scared his opponents into quitting. With the exception of the obvious....like Pinklon Thomas etc....Tua's left hook is harder than Mike's IMO. Only because of the caliber of opponents he faced.
Wladimir Klitschko would be just as impressive against the same competition Tyson fought. That is for sure. He would have knocked Bonecrusher Smith OUT COLD.
Good question. I suppose before the Sanders fight. His size is just ridiculous though, and punches are straight and crisp. Bonecrusher was so 1 dimmensional he would have played into Wlad's hands.
Before Sanders I would favor Wlad almost over anyone, he would kill Smith with confidence.

If he fought the exact same fighters Mike did, in their careers....Wlad would be undefeated untill he faced Lewis. No doubt. He would have knocked Douglas, Holy, etc...smooth out.
That is just My opinion though. More than likely I could be wrong. I also could be wrong about Tua hitting harder than Tyson.
I just think his power is overrated. He was dangerous in other areas.....like instilling fear in his opponent. That is why Etienne did not rise from the canvas. He was scared of Mike.
