David Tua vs. Michael Spinks

What a post

 

Tua got schooled by byrd. Spinks would dominate the hype job.

Spinks defeated holmes in the first fight and that alone is a better victory than box that can be boasted by tua.

Spinks only lost to a prime mike tyson and tua doesn't have his movement or power. Infact tua lost to byrd which tells you everything you need to know here.

Tua did nothing in his career to deserve the hype he gets now, there is no reason to assume he'd do any better in fantasy matches.

 

Tua lost by a point or two to Byrd. It wasn't a schooling.

 

Just like the loss to lewis it exposed his limitations when he fights someone who won't just stand infront of him.

 

id fancy spinks in this one wide points decision .

 

I think a fighter of Tua's style would knock Spinks out. Tua had an iron chin, and he was good at applying pressure. I'm not sure he'd respect Spinks much more than Tyson did and with applying the same pressure and with high punch output I think he would eventually get to Spinks and put him away.

I think that when you take swarmers with the size and build of guys like Tua and Tyson, Spinks is going to struggle handily.

It's not a knock against Spinks, he's a small man. He's a light heavyweight and that is what he should be known for. His wins vs Larry Holmes are good cause I think Holmes had a ton left when they fought, but as far as styles go, certain heavies are just going to destroy him. I think Tua is one of them.

 

Tua by ko...When he got close his hands whipped across very fast and sooner or later he gets close to Spinks. When he does it's lights out. Within 5.

 

It would have resembled Tua-Moorer...over in 1.

 

Tua early or Spinks by a wide decision.

Spinks had the one poor performance against Tyson but it's worth noting that he had never tasted the canvas before that night. I'd favor Michael though, he beat guys that were better than Tua, while Tua never beat anyone as good as Michael. I'm a big Tua fan but he wasn't Tyson.
