Does David Tua...

[boxing_great]

tyson is way more skillful

[Left Hook Tua]

fight a lot like mike tyson?

i think he does.

similar but that's due to both being short for a heavyweight.

tyson has far better handspeed and defense. mike also has much better skills.

tua has solid skills but with his short reach and height is always gonna eat a jab from a good boxer. his punching power and durable chin gets the fight to go his way most of the time though.

Does anyone here think Tua could win a belt again?

doubtful. he's 35. sluggers like him usually are done by 30.

he could've won a belt though if he had better management. rahman , ruiz , maskaev , oquendo , etc. had multiple belts or multiple chances at a belt and tua koed all of them. rahman , ruiz and maskaev were younger and much better when they lost to tua than when they got their belts too imo. oquendo got multiple chances at a belt and he got koed by the past prime fat tua.

I think there are some small similarities between the two, but Tyson did it a lot better. I would say they were even in left hand power. Tyson had better movement and defense though.

Tua tries to move in that similar fashion, but his chin keeps him from perfecting his defense. He can always rely on his chin, and not have to worry about defense too much...

It's like comparing Wlad to Lewis, really.

They remind you of eachother, but are not really that closely related.

[Clegg]

They're both short with impressive power, but they're not all that similar really.
