Most of us can only dream about! Analysis anyone?
Depends on age...
If they were both in their prime I think that this would have been a great fight. Tua has a solid chin and Mike has a fairly solid chin. They can both punch. I would have to lean slightly more towards Tyson.
HMMMMMM.... :beatup2: someone would have ended up hurt and thier careers shortened...Tua has the better chin of the two but Tyson's speed would have been the factor....other than that it would be a toss up on who caught who first...My pick Tyson by decision..
Yeah of course, Prime Tyson VS Prime Tua! Hardest Hitters in HW history. I like Mike doing the bobbing and weaving thing and Tua's bum rush; Man! scary fighters
Mike Tyson in his prime? I put him against anyone. Everybody forgets Mike had hand speed, good defence, and the best trainer ever, Cuztamato. (How ever u spell it.) And it wasn't that he hit hard, he hit sharp. (Ask Holmes.)
Yea?.?.? Which hospital to go to.Quote:

Tyson UD
I'd take Tua in a 7th round KO...he'd weather the early Tyson storm and drop the first 5 rounds soundly only to violently KO a tiring tyson in the 7th.
Tyson gets it, TKO, KO or possibly but unlikely a UD... Tyson was technically superior in his prime, had good defence coming forwards and a decent jab when he arsed to use it...
If we are talking about punches and chins alone.. Tyson has hand speed, power and combinations... Tua could band and had a good chin... better than Mike's but he's no where near as explosive.
Nicely put and agreed CCQuote:

I would take Tua, Tua would out ball him.
I would go with a prime Tyson. With the bob and weave style that he used then he would make Tua miss a lot tiring Tua out for a late (T)KO.
Tyson had every dimention in his prime, Tua only has one.
Tyson UD or TKO12. I don't care how good Tua's chin is, he wouldn't be able to take Tyson's punches to his head AND body for 12 rounds.
Just curious any body ever see Tyson get a TKO. cant remember one myself.
No way manQuote:

Tyson gets it by KO in the middle rounds, in his prime no-one could have touched him, certainly not an immitation Tyson.
yeah this fight would not go the 12. it couldn't surely. tyson KO within the first 5 rounds. but there would be some good back and forth and trading action. but i couldnt say any differently when a prime tyson is in the equasion.
you're damn right, no one can take too much of me ;)Quote:

prime v prime tyson has an easy time with him--i never saw what all the fuss was about regarding this topic,,tua was always a slow plodding one dimensional banger and tyson was a super quick super skilled fast handed versatile fighting machine--hed wear tua down early and easy and stop him in 5 or 6 rds
I See Tyson Wrecking him with The uppercut!!!!That was Tysons most underrated and untalked about punch in his arsenal He was known for raking the body then hooking to the head....He set up alot of his KO's with the uppercut,I dont care how good your chin is you get hit with a good uppercut its a whole nother kind of trauma to the head... Tyson turned many a man into a PEZ DISPENSER!!!!!Great matchup for TysonQuote:
