    Tony Tucker, of the Tyson fight
    David Tua of the Lewis fight.
    Reason I picked these two losing fight s for both, is that they were both basically shut down by the other, Tyson and Lewis, and lost unanimous decision.
    They were made to fight a certain way by the superior man.
    What happenens here?
    Who s the superior fighter?
    12 rounds to decide.

    Hard to pick actually. Tua carried tremendous power until the end, Tyson was a machine more early. I would not put a single cent on this fight

    It is a tough one I'll agree. I've put Tucker but not with great certainty. Does Tucker fight a similar one as he did verses Tyson and lose a decision?
    Or does this fight have shades of Tua v Lewis and see Tua being shown as a hard hitting plodder, getting his head boxed off?.

    Tucker UD over the best version of Tua. A no brainer win for Tucker over the listless, timid, overweight Tua that fought Lewis.

    At his best, Tua UD on workrate. It depends on which Tua shows up

    Very easy to pick in my eyes.

    Tucker would school Tua!

    Bad style matchup for Tua. I see him being pretty easily outboxed here. The version that fought Lewis I doubt really ever gets in close enough to do serious damage with more than maybe 1 shot. Tucker also had a really good chin in his prime. So even if Tua connects Tucker should take it. Absolute peak condition Tua probably still gets outboxed but would have a better chance of a down on the cards late rally.

    However h2h tua destroys marciano,dempsey and if a porky like galento had Joe down and hurt by a left hook only god knows that would happen if tua landed clean in his chin. You don't like Tua too much right?
