How would Tua have done against a prime Tyson?

[GranTorino]

Im sure this has been addressed before. But who was the better boxer? I think Iron Mike had more skill, but (dare I say?) Tua had more power.

hmm I dont know I guess the fight would come down too who landed the first shot lol

tyson had more skill..tua had more power and was stronger...tyson would get discouraged when he hit tua and tua didnt go anyway..i see tua winning by UD or knockout possibly (prime tua) tua did have more speed in the past and wasnt AS FAT of a slob that he is now (before any of you bums say he didnt have a prime)

tua takes tyson's shots and tko's him around the 7th

Mismatch. Tyson far too fast and good.

I agree with Geoff. Tua just can't handle the speed and skill of Tyson.

By the way Geoff, did you used to be a pro or something? I'm sure I read that you were, on this site.

Tua aint on mikes level! obviously he has a punchers chance but thats it! Tyson was more skilled, better defence, much faster and probably hit just as hard! Tua has a good chin but coz of his style i think mike knocks his fat ass out!

tua by ko in the 1st.

I agree , Tua is no where near the level that Tyson was in boxing skill !!! NOT AT ALL The only thing that they have in common is that they hit hard, are the same size and both use a crouching style. I won't say Tua can't land big for a KO but i think he will be hit to often and to fast to ever have the chance to do so .
