My good m8 And Boxing-XPERT StevieG did say - So who wins this war of 2 broad-shouldered, short stumpy sluggers? :!: Mad fact - Tyson is 1" taller, BUT Superheavy Tua is 25lbs heavier!! :shock: 1996 Mikey Tyson @220lbs, 5'10, 71" reach This content is protected This content is protected 2000 David Tua @245lbs, 5'9, 70" reach This content is protected This content is protected
Tua does have ATG Pure IRON-Chin. :thumbsup Tua did last teh full 12 Rounds with Lenny Lewis, BUT Tyson only lasted 8 Rounds!! What Round do you have Tua KO'ing Tyson m8?? Lots Earlier then Lewis did in 2002? Do you thinks Tua's HUGE 25lbs weight advantage helps him crush Tyson? I undecided on this mint war.
Does Superheavy Tua have mint stamina you may ask?? :think I say YES!! :deal Superheavy Tua @251lbs did TKO Talmadge Griffis in Round 10 in 2005! :happy And Superheavy Tua @250lbs did KO Maurice Wheeler in Round 7 in 2006! :happy
Nice one Hook :good Tyson's best chance is to overpower Tua as early as possible with his still superior speed. Otherwise Tua knocks Tyson out after the fifth or sixth.
Thanks m8. :thumbsup 100% AGREE with your XPERT post! Tyson have frontrunner 5 Round stamina, Tua have mint 12 Round stamina. :deal
A thing i got to wonder aboot is - how does Tua take Tyson haymakers to his gut?? Featherfisted Byrd did hurt Tua to teh body in 2001 - will Tyson??
Tyson could hurt him there,but not enough to win the fight. After '91 Tyson no longer had the appetite for battle.
I would take Tua here.. Mike will unload some bombs on him early, and he may actually move Tua a little since Tyson is no slouch as we all know in the power department.. I never really saw Tua hurt to often, the man had an iron chin, and great stamina as many said in spite of his weight.. Another huge factor in this match up for me is the Tua late round power.. Their are only a select few stocky short powerful brawlers like Tua who carry so much power and stamina late into fights.. Some of the all time great ones that come to mind are 1. Rocky Marciano-very tenacious and always kept coming, more often then not he was going to get you.. 2. Joe Frazier -Relentless pressure, great stamina, and you can ask Ali how strong that hook is in the 15th round still But Frazier does not have the Tua chin.. Such intangibles will be what will win Tua this fight.. After Tyson is unable to bang Tua out early, David will start to score heavy blows in the middle rounds and finish Mike off with a deadly combo in round 8... Clean KO win for Tua..
I like Tyson here. In my opinion Tyson's chin and intelligence would prevail. If Tyson is smart and lands to the body effectively I see him dazing Tua with an Uppercut and winning by knockout or TKO with Tua on his feet. I honestly dont think a 2000 tua is more powerful then a 96 Tyson.
