    Came across some footage of Holyfield sparring with Tua before the Tyson fight..
    These two would have provided us with a right WAR if they'd got it on!!?

    Wow, this was really cool. Holyfield took the first half with speed and footwork, but Tua was getting him in the last minute.

    Uppercut was getting in there by Tua. Good adjustment by Holyfield in the Tyson fight to tie up instead of linger in there.

    Tua almost looks...dare I say.. "trim" there!
    He could not do anything when Holy was fighting from range, but on the inside Tua got in some nice shots with the doubling up of hooks and some nice uppercuts.

    Tua would have been very hard for Evander stylewise, also Tua was stronger than Evander.

    I liked it, it looked like Holyfield was the better boxer but Tua could land his hooks and uppercut and hooks with ease.
