    At this point in their lives? No, not at all. That crap belongs under a tent and in one of the three rings.

    In their primes? Yes. That would have been a great fight! I would have hated to have been either men. Can you imagine the amount of damage they would have inflicted on each other? Prime for prime I would go with Iron Mike. He had power, skills, chin, and is an all-time great. Tua was definitely no slouch but in my eyes he was a notch or two below Iron Mike.

    How about Tua and Ike Ibeabuchi in a rematch.

    Tua is younger and probably be easier to get back in shape

    Tua is back getting himself in shape after weighing over 160kg. His cousin and close friend, Tuigamala (former All Black & World Cup rugby league player) died suddenly late last year from a range of weight related illnesses.

    Tua decided to get himself fit and health again, for the hood of himself and his family.

    " There's no senior tour in boxing! " - Larry Merchant. And he was right. Enjoy your favourite fighters while they're relevant and accept when they can no longer compete in the ring.

    Crap! Just to verify, does the OP mean Mike Tyson or Tyson Fury. I could see Fury wanting to fight Tua for sure. Seems like a good stay busy fight for the gypsy king.

    I'd watch but will be sad at the same time.

    I think Tua wins. They have the exact same style, but Tua had a better chin. He was never stopped, not even against Lewis.
