Prime Evander Holyfield vs Prime David Tua who wins?

Holyfield by a lopsided decision. Bad style match-up for Tua

 

Holyfield. Ibeabuchi gave the blueprint for beating a fighter like Tua, and Evander was superior to Ike in everything except punching power.

 

Holyfield UD12.

 

Tua was sparring with Holyfield for Holyfield-Tyson 1. Here they are both in their prime sparring.

i think even a prime holyfield can't repeat ibeabuchi's performance , i think he was also too brave to repeat what byrd/lewis did ,that's simply not his style. therefore i predict tua stops holyfield maybe even an early KO (Ruiz/Moorer/Wilson) , at least a late one (Maskaev).
the prediction is despite holyfield is better than the last 4 mentioned here.

tua definitely wins.

 

ike was stronger and much heavier than holyfield.
if bowe stopped holyfield , tua more than certainly would have.
tua is even deadlier than tyson.

 

no no.
tyson was a poor man's david tua. he needed elbows to make his thing.
tua was never stopped as a pro.
tyson was stopped 5 times as a pro.
tua's only problem is with much taller guys whose chin is unreachable for him and chris byrd who desrves tons of respect for making the distance with him and more than that for even winning.
the ibeabuchi fight was even. it should have been a draw. ibeabuchi also deserves respect , although he was significantly bigger.

 

much in place.
thank you.
remember sparring publicly with headgears is an altogether different thing to fighting professionally for real and for money. tua didn't try to charge him here like with ruiz,moorer.

 

I didnt say I thought he'd knock Tua out, I just think Holyfield is the better boxer and that would see him through. I know as well that Holyfield had a tendancy to get involved which could see him getting sparked out but I'm backing against that happening which is risky but lets face it Tua has the ability to do that to anyone so you never really know.

 

I back Tua here. Notice that Holyfield mixes it up with Tua in sparring - and
several of those hooks would get through. Can't stay away from Tua's left all
night. I say Tua by KO.

 

Holy had good nights and bad nights


If the holy from the bert cooper or moorer fight turn up then its conceivable that tua wins, but i got to say 9 times out of 10 holy wins. :good

 

I think Tua would have given Holyfield a much harder fight than Tyson ever did.

Wish he'd fought Tua. I know there was talk of Holy/ Tua around that time

 

Holyfield and his chemist win! by wide decision! Holyfield loves those steroids! atleast in his prime he does.

 

and now also , don't worry.
and you think tua reached his mass and power without them ?
and toney and batchelder didn't both get caught for using them in their fight ? and juan carlos gomez didn't ? mosley , tyson , haye , roy jones ,,,
how do you think hopkins grew after age 40 from 160 to 175 and how talks of him even fighting adamek at 200 , even started ?
how did hearns came from 147 to 190 , do you think he just got fat ?


almost everyone use steroids for a long time now.
the truth is - except from the health damage which i don't know if exists or not , it is also unwise professionally.
it makes you heavier for your height or in another way - shorter for your (new) weight.
if there is anyone who don't use it on an almost regular basis i suspect they are the likes of : Dawson , Williams , Funeka , Caballero.
and we do know how their careers are going.

 

i forgot to mention pavlik also.
