Tyson vs. Tua Prime for Prime who wins?!

Tua's chin is better

Tua by KO

 

so then tyson beats him up for 12 rounds.

tuas chin seems good because the guy has fought **** level comp forever. have you seen his record? tua didnt fight hoyfield 2 times, ruddock 2 times, bonecrusher smith....hes fought a total of 12 different former or current heavyweight champions....how many has tua fought? tua has accomplished pretty much nothing except the ability for hype.....he knocks out people he should and looks like crap in all other fights.... tyson would massacare him....if ibeabuchi hit him that many times, tyson would have hit him more and harder.... tyson was THE CHAMP and BAD when he was in his prime and hungry...before the 100 million and before all the women and bull****.....tuas just lazy

 

Prime Tyson wins. Tua is like a fake copy.

 

This fight would of been Tua first KO. A prime Tyson was not only a animal he had focus, dicipline, great head movement. speed and power in both hands. Tua KO in 3rd RD.[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YI5oiPoDESc[/ame]

 

Also in most of Tua fights he got the knock out with the left, while Tyson did it with either or.

 

i think tua could take tysons punches better than tyson could take tuas. tyson may land more but a couple of tua could probably hurt him.

 

Is this really a serious question? Tyson by a land slide.

Tua = left hook
Tyson = every shot in the book, head movement, defense, technical boxing ability

 

tyson by late ko. tyson is just better overall. and those of you who are talking about tua's chin, well, tua didnt like taking lennox lewis's shots and went into a shell. tyson is far more agressive

 

good point!

 

If anyone gets stopped late its Tyson, Tua's stamina (prime for pime) was better and thats a fact. One only needs to see the 12 round wars Tua took part in before he fought Lewis.

Tua's prime was around 96-98 when trained by Lou Duva, after that his NZ manager Kevin barry trained him and he put on weight and became much less mobile although perhaps more powerful

Tua that fought Ibeabuchi, Maskaev, Izon etc would have an excellent chance of breaking Tyson down later in the fight.

 

Mike Tyson.

 

True, Tua's never been KO'd but has Tua taken extensive punishment from a highly regarded puncher? Not totally sure. '86-'88 Tyson would be coming 100 miles/hr, creating angles and firing artillery from both hands.
Tua also brings some weapons to this party. He's bigger, stronger and and won't be intimidated by Kid Dynamite. These are certainly three things that he could use to his advantage if he comes to the fight with the proper game plan and trains for 12 rounds instead of an early KO that probably won't happen.

In conclusion, I'm a huge Tua fan but I think that a prime '86-'88 Tyson is just a far better swarmer than David is. Yes, Tua has the chin and he has the physical attributes and mental toughness to trouble Tyson but this version of Tyson is simply too surgical and too elusive for any version of Tua.

 

Like the Razor, Tua hitz so hard his victimz go craz and make ****. Lots of **** after this, lots of ****. :-(

 

Tyson kills him, Tua is soooo overrated its not even funny. He's tough, punches hard, and I like him, but Tyson will slip most of his punches and Tua won't be slipping his..

 

Tyson's SPEED is the real worry for Tua

Everything else Tua can handle
