    Tyson was physically the superior specimen, much more quicker and better defense but mentally he was weak and prone to breaking down easily, watch the "Beyond the Glory" documentary where he starts crying before his first boxing match and Teddy Atlas has to hug him and console him that he can win. Tua is much sturdier mentally and physically. He hits much harder than Tyson without even loading up all the way like Tyson does and when Tua lands on Tyson, his already fragile mind will shatter and Tua will proceed to finish him off with a brutal left hook. Good thing that Tyson never fought a monster like Tua in his prime, he would've been left mentally in shambles.

    Tua is a one handed one dimensional slugger who had nowhere near the speed, skill, and head movement that a prime Tyson had. Don't even put Tua in the same sentence as Prime Tyson.
    Tua would get outboxed by Holmes, Bonecrusher, Briggs, Ruddock, etc. He probably couldn't beat Spinks or Berbick either.
