    Twitter account @editinking posted the following footage of Holyfield sparring David Tua in preparation for Mike Tyson. I thought Tua gave a good account of himself, who do you think came out on top? Very interesting footage. Link:

    Don Turner said Holyfield beat the brakes off Tua and sent him home after a few rounds.

    didn't look like it. Tua landing triple left hooks and more than comfortable with Holy...

    Holyfield had looked like crap at the start of his camp prior to the Tyson fight, so bad he appologised to his team and thanked them for sticking with him... he worked through it, and at the time Tua was brought in he was back on track, this is just one of many sparring sessions between the two. At the end of camp Tua was beaten bad every time....However Turner is full of crap, as always..tua was there for a good amount of time.

    Holyfield couldn't have hoped for a better sparring partner in preparation for Tyson than Tua.

    Can't see it, him being beaten bad.. Holy couldn't plant his feet and bang with Tua, outpoint him scoring, yeah all day. Looked like Tua was comfortable just boxing !

    At that stage, Tua was prob just as dangerous as Tyson, definitely more robust ! His sparring was prob harder than the fight at times
