I think a young Tyson and young Tua would be a bad ass fight

    Tua had an awesome left hook that would KO anyone who was cleanly hit by it.

    Double left hook, just like he KO Montana.

    There's a couple in there that look lik they died after the lefthook.

    wouldn't even be competitive. Anyone who's seen Amateur footage of Tyson or indeed his early pro fights knows he could box less aggressively when he wanted to. Anyone who hasn't, check it out. It's almost surreal watching Tyson up on his toes, jabbing, switch hitting. Tua's just a tank, no skill. Plod, plod, duck, left hook, plod, repeat.

    I think Tua would have been a very dangerous fight for Tyson. He would be fighting a guy who comes forward, has decent power, can throw combinations and who wouldn't 'quit' as some Tyson foes have in the past. Tyson wins, but has his work cut out.

    I think Tyson would win a UD over Tua, moderately wide.

    I mentioned this fight before and I think Tua would not be intimidated like most fighters and would do well. Would Mike still be powerful after the sixth or seventh round? Tua hits very hard and will definitely tire Mike out some. I would say 60/40 Pac, I mean Mike.

    Tyson had great speed in his prime, that is the deciding factor in this fight.

    it would be an exciting fight while it lasted, but Tyson would KTFO him pretty early most likely. Tua has excellent power but I don't think he can deal with that handspeed.

    Tua showed a little more than that pre-Ibeabuchi, but still not enough to deal with a prime Tyson.

    Tsyon is, at least, a class above David.
