    Dude, it's heavyweight boxing. 1 punch can do it. I can't believe you think he is a Kayo artist. besides his lottery punch who else has he knockout with one punch? really? not getting tired and stopped. Stone cold KO, who?

    You put Rahman power with

    Tyson
    Tua
    Lewis and Ruddock?

    Tyson of 1996 was not the guy who ripped through the HW division in the mid-late 1980's, but he was still a top-calibre fighter! His head movement was glaring omitted from his skills & for the best part, the jab was not a major part of his arsenal in 1996!

    However, what nobody has mentioned as of yet, is how would Tua, back in 1996, being a young, up & coming guy, mentally handle fighting Mike Tyson, who was still some-what of a phenom even in 1996? Personally, I don't think Tua would have mentally held up well in order to put in the performance required to beat Tyson!

    People can say well Tua fought a brilliant fight against Ibeabuchi, but like I said, there's always the intimidation factor to consider when facing Tyson!

    Casting aside the intimidation, I think the Tyson of 1996, while not being near the guy he once was, would have, at that stage of their career's, had too much for Tua!

    Tyson probably wins by late-stoppage!

    Sure it's heavyweight boxing but that don't mean nothing. If so then Chris freaking Bryd should have won atleast 1 fight by a 1 punch knockout correct? Going by your logic of saying in heavyweight boxing 1 punch can do it lol. I don't recall ever seeing Moorer land a 1 big punch for a knockout win before and he's a heavyweight.

    Tyson's wins from 1995 onwards are dire minus big Frank. In fact how many real bangers did Tyson ever face at their peak?? :think

    That don't mean nothing. You can't change the fact that Tua has face big punchers. You might think Rahman, Maskaev, Ike and the rest are not big punchers but oh well thats your opinion.

    Tua. Tyson was on a downward slope, a shell of what he used to be

    But it is still true.

    Ray, we going no where with this. now we jumped subject to debating if rahman is a knock out puncher.

    Rahman has not knocked out another worldclass opponent other then LL like that.

    Tua would win, he is the more naturally, bigger, and stronger built guy
    than Mike ever was. His right hand, skills, and speed were extremely underrated...

    I'm telling ya man. It sucks that Tua gets so no respect no credit at all. Tua is also one of the most class fighters maybe ever in boxing.

    Were not staying TUA is no good. Just that Tyson even in 96 was better in most departments.

    Did TUA even win a belt in his career? Was he a feared top guy in 96? Was he the man in his divison?

    We all say Tyson never lived up to his hype? Did Tua live up to his hype?
