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

    QUOTE=mrbassie;3292532]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.[/QUOTE]

    Bad stylistically for Tyson. Tua has a granite chin and hits very hard.

    However, Mike has granite too and also the X factor KO power. Unfortunately we'll never know if Tua could take that heat.

    We do know that it would be a all time great fight while it lasted.

    Either Tyson gets TUa out early or Tua wears him down late.

    good points, that and a cast iron chin.

    Tyson should win with his speed and better boxing ability...he wouldn't crush him though.

    Tyson would be hitting Tua with his best shots and Tua wouldn't drop.

    Tua was Mike's sparring partner post-prison.

    EDIT: may have been Evander's partner
