Mike Tyson prime vs David tua prime

[Dark Lord Al]

Tua is strong and chugs forward but when he experinces the speed of the shots coming at him, he would cover up even more than he did against Lewis and I doubt he makes it anywhere near the half way point.

Tua just isnt skilled enough for someone with Mikes speed.

Tua was a teenager in that fight , would u like to find footage of a teenage Tyson being KOED by Al chico Evans ? a bum ?

Mike was a 15 year old child

Evans was 27!

Listen to the commentary at the very beggining and then at 39 seconds in

Thankyou for agreeing that the were both teens.

Not really the same...

Tua was 19 (4 years older than Mike) when he got beat up by Savon, Mike was 4 fights in to his pro career

Its not the same you are right Tua got beat be one of the best unpaid fighters of all time , tyson got beat by a bum.

Both results dont mean a thing in the pro ranks.

Hahahaha! I cant believe you are comparing a 15 year old child to a 19 year old 15!

Thats like aholyfield bragging about getting in Mikes face in the Olypic trials at the pool tablewhen Mike was 16 and he was in his twenties He always braggs that he made Mike back down but also always fales to tell everyone Mike was only 16 Would you be chuffed and bragg to your mates in the pub or even tella news reporter how youthreatened a 16 year old? Wheres the bragging rights there?

head movement and defense and balance swings this one in Tyson's favor. Being closer to Tyson's height gives the Tua man more of an advantage than all those tall fighters that Tyson annihilated. He could swing with Tyson on the inside where as most of those tall guys were handcuffed as far as range goes, once Tyson got inside and started wailing with stubby hooks and hell born uppercuts.

im not comparing im saying your first post showing Tua v Savon irrelevant , as was my post about Tyson as an unpaid fighter.
We are talking pro's in their prime ,and i ask again who did Tyson beat who was in his prime and had big power like Tua ?

[ross]

Who did Tua fight that had Tysons ability to avoid being hit, Tysons speed, Tysons agression, Tysons power and Tysons chin?

Tony Tucker that fought Tyson beats Tua and Tyrell Biggs and Tony Tubbs

Put it this way, Chris Byrd wouldnt have gotten away from Tyson

Frank Bruno, Donovan Ruddock, James Smith...those guys could bang. All we know of Tua is that he took everything Ibeabuchi (a vastly overrated fighter) threw at him and everything Lennox Lewis threw at him...but would he handle Tyson's power? It's not so much about how much power there is behind the punches, but how they land and where they land. Mike Tyson's power is different than Ike's or Lennox's as his punches were shorter, quicker, and in bunches.

The deal with Tyson is he had better fundamentals than Tua. Tyson moved his head, Tyson went to the body, he cut the ring down, he tied up well on the inside, he doubled up on the jab effectively. David Tua would once in a blue moon throw a ton of punches and look like a damn machine, but he was so inconsistent with that.

There's a way to beat Tyson and I don't see Tua having it. Ray Mercer perhaps, but not David Tua.
