the question was prime ....as you know mr troll tyson was not in his prime in 96 when he fought holyfield .....
Of course not Tysons dead in the water ,he cant even stop a 205 pound Frazier.Tua by k.o 30 seconds in round one. :roll:
Tyson stops him around the 9th, with Tua bloodied and beat up. I always thought around about the mid 90s these two would of been a great matchup, and I'd of given a very slight edge to Tyson in a 50/50 ish fight.
Outside of Fraziers win vs Ali, Tysons resume is head and shoulders above Fraziers. Tysons resume is top 5-6 at heavyweight.
If Felix Savon could counter punch and KO Tua. So could Tyson. Height and reach wouldn't be a problem for Tyson. But Tua could very well make him gass out in later rounds. Tyson's better from the outside.
You can't really just say ''outside'' Ali; you have to accept Ali as a viable win and the other two fights. Tyson's resume is very lackluster; his best opponents were ones which defeated him.
Because Ali is what stands out on Fraziers record, other than that, his resume is nothing special. Well actually, if you want to play that game Frazier is 1-4 with the best fighters he fought.
Ali was by far his best opponent; but you can't just ''push'' Ali aside. Not only do you have to acknowledge the win, but his third showing against Ali blasts out anyone Tyson ever beat. His other opposition pretty much beats out Tyson's first string of 25 tomato cans. Ali isn't just someone you take to hell; he is the best heayweight of all time. Even the likes of Trevor Berbick and Tony Tucker were very weak.
His third showing with Ali? He got his ass kicked and lost. You can show all the heart you want, but if you lose you lose. Seeing as you love Frazier so much. Show me a top ten list of his wins.
guy seriously you are a ****ing idiot,using an amateur version of a fighter to make a point against him at pro, you are simply idiot
horrible prediction,if it lasted that long then would be tua who would score the stoppage,he had better stamina and carried his power late
The r,apist couldn't knock Tua out even if he had a baseball bat, because he was all about hitting junkies, and alcoholics with the speed of his punches. These shots would not faze Tua in the least. After 3 or 4 rounds when he realised his shots were having no effect, he would quit trying to win, accept his beating for 4 or 5 rounds like a good boy, then get counted out.
