Tua

[p4pking]

and the fact that Ruiz went on to become about a 3 time champ and Tua just kept getting beat when he stepped up says a lot

If he wasn't so slow he would manage to beat a lot more guys

well u could say same about tyson when he stepped up in class he always got beat aswell he lost the mega fights against douglas lewis holy twice tua is very good fighter and people who say tyson would blow him out in 1st round are totally wrong tua was in war with ike and took ike punches and he threw like 900s punches tua would give tyson hell of a tough fight a possibly could of won with his sort of power tyson is good fighter just not what people make out like he would beat foreman fraizer ect is just nonsense tyson is good but not great

I think your dead wrong. Guess that's all there is to it. Foreman and Frazier were not superior fighters to Iron Mike. I think Foreman would have beaten him, perhaps even badly, in a prime vs prime matchup, but that's more to do with styles then anything, Foreman would have killed almost any shorter puncher. Tua was in a war with Ike sure, but Ike was not Mike Tyson.. He was nowhere near as fast, skilled, or explosive. He was a hell of a hard hitter for sure but I would still say Mike must have hit a little harder in his prime and threw far better combinations. Tua has never given a performance that would indicate he would even have a good shot vs a prime Tyson imo. He has been outboxed by Rahman, Oleg Maskaev, Fres Oquendo, Lewis, and he was outslugged by Ike, it just wouldn't happen imo Tyson had enough ability to beat him either way
