    Tua still laughably overrated on these parts I see.

    It’s hard to imagine this one going past 3 rounds. They would literally stand in front of each other and throw bombs.

    This is a classic “styles makes fights” scenario. Tyson in 96 had little to no head movement and was there to be hit, IMO. He would stay on the inside with Tua. Whoever lands big first wins.

    96/97 versions of both fighters… I’d put my money on Tua (this is not the fat slow Tua from the 2000s). 1980’s version of Tyson wins.

    Tyson is in big trouble if this gets past round 6 or 7. This is an opponent that the Tuaman will not have to chase and Mike will be right in front of him not bothering to jab.

    Always wanted to see Tyson in there with the Brewster's or Mercer's or Tua's to see if he could come out with a nice late win.
