    Tyson's chin was cracked numerous times, Tua's not even once as a pro. One Tua left hook would have Tyson in serious trouble, plus Tyson wasn't the best at taking body shots.

    Tua had no way of getting past peoples jabs, hence he was never knocked out because most fighters found it easy to contain him with a jab without taking any risks.

    Tyson on the other hand was a much more aggressive fighter.

    Did you read what I said?? As a pro his chin wasn't cracked, Tyson's was shattered on numerous occasions.

    If Price could get knocked out in amateurs - so he could in pros
    If Wilder could get knocked out in amateurs - so he could in pros
    If Tua could get knocked out in amateurs - so he could in pros

    Why is it even a question?

    It's not the power behind the punch that matters the most - it's the angle and the surprise of it.

    It's a shame Savon never turned pro.

    If Ali never got knocked out in his career- he could
    If Hagler never got knocked out- he could.

    Tua was never knocked out as a pro- fact.

    Tyson was knocked out numerous times- fact.

    Tuards at it again. Tua sucked, deal with it. Stop favoring him in all of these fantasy matchups.

    it's pretty much just Wass who spouts this ****e, who obviously hasn't recovered from being bummed by Tyson when he was in the joint all those years ago.
