Mike Tyson vs David Tua

Tua would go into his shell like he always does when someone takes the fight to him. It would probably look like Mathis/Tyson but with the sturdier and less mobile Tua taking more punishment. I think if Tyson fails to stop him in the early rounds than Tua would come back late, looking for home run bombs and landing a few. Ultimately, I don't think he'll bring the accumilation necessary to stop Iron Mike and lose the decision.

 

tyson was in different league to tua tyson inside 5 rounds

 

Foreman could be hit by Qawi (I know it was a shot Foreman , but also an asthmatic overweight Qawi) , and did not have him out in the early rounds. Tua is no Frazier , Holyfield , Moorer , not even Tyson , George might be stopped himself in this one.

Tyson will fight , outscore Tua , but Tua will settle for just a few clean punches landed to put Tyson down and then , or even suddenly out.
Tua was never beaten by a slugger and he did fight Ibeabuchi who was far from stopping him.

 

With 2 punchers like that anything could happen

 

When did Tua go into a shell when someone took the fight to him ?

 

The entire Lewis fight, whose power not boxing ability had Tua pondering in his shell scared to take a risk. Power Punching Chris Byrd! Hurt Tua with body punches. And most famously the first 5 rounds of the Ike fight comes to mind. But Tyson is no Ike...:nut

 

Lewis and Byrd took the fight to Tua ?
Tua went into a shell against Ibeabuchi ? is it how you say 'defense' ?
And against Byrd ?
when was the last time you watched these fights ?

 

I originally thought of voting Tyson by decision but then I went with a late stoppage.

Tua truly has an amazing chin but how long would his soft body be able to withstand Mike's left hooks and right uppercuts? Chris Byrd managed to tire Tua out with bodyshots in their fight, Iron Mike would be ten times worse to deal with when gassed.

 

Why is this legend becoming so famous ?
Tua's soft body LMAO
if anything , the fats that cover his huge muscles help him absorb punishment yet even better.

 

-Lewis and Byrd did more than jab and move against Tua, a good part of their success came from their ability to hurt him and make him think twice about opening up.

-Yes, Tua spent the first half of the Ike fight in a shell, letting him tee off with combos while he waited...waited..waited. Not sure how anyone could argue otherwise, but I've seen crazy things on this forum. Tyson is another fast starter who would have Tua on the defense early, unable to get too many of his own punches off.

-I'm not sure you watch any fights..so, not sure you want to go there.

 

Hurt him ? Byrd ? with Lewis maybe he felt a little hurt in a few moments

This is what you managed to grasp from your 2 minutes of browsing over the entire fight ?

At least you do , and able to tell everyone the truth after it.

 

-Yes, Byrd hurt the Terminator.

-You got me. I watched in on fast forward.

-:think Cryptic quote of the day?

 

Tyson UD

 

And all this and your previous babbles you managed to perceive from fast forward ? damn ! you have a super brain !

 

Yeah, slow motion and real time is for pussies. Real boxing fans draw their conclusions by watching fights through fast forward.


...i really don't have the heart to carry this on further. :-((

You win, Tua has no quit in him, no matter what you throw at him, he just keeps coming forward, both arms swinging!
