This is a really interesting fight. Mike was so much better the style of Tua is not great for Mike. Tua had a good chin and if Mike could not get him out, Tua would be throwing huge left hooks and he is bigger than Mike in weight. Mike had two hands and not one, so I figure he would edge this, but this is the kind of fight which would wear out Mike for other fights. Mike UD is my guess in a clinching fight?
There was a good reason Don King never allowed Tua anywhere near Tyson! It’s a 50/50 fight If Tua gets anything clean on Tyson it’s over, if Tua rocks Tyson like Bruno did in fight 1 then it’s over! That said I favour Tyson’s cleaner and wider skill set to win the fight on points! Tua represented too big of a threat to ever get close to Tyson the money generating phenomenon! Tyson cleaned up the division and after that it wasn’t easy finding quality opponents to sell PPV bouts. There were plenty of less deserving fighters that got a shot, I can’t see any other reason why Tua was passed over.
Dream fight. Bad match up for Tyson. Would resemble Ike vs Tua. Tyson might have folded late in the fight. Tua would eat everything Mike throws and more.
The Tyson who showed up against Botha would get stopped. The tyson against bruno or ruddock then Tyson clear UD
Yes sir, my exact prediction with the ref stoppage. Mike wouldnt have been able to KO David out cold, Tua had concrete for a chin. But my question is, if
This! Tyson's broader skills and better defense would win the day. But it would be very entertaining and Tua would be a live underdog.
