    Imo this is a very interesting match up. Could a prime Holyfield go toe2toe vs a prime power house Tua? Both are known for left hooks but we all know Tua left hook is the better one well atleast for me. I honestly don't know who would win but i think maybe a prime Holyfield by ud in a close fight. I know many here will say "A prime Holyfield would destroyed Tua" and blah blah but oh well.

    I think Holyfield wins down to his superb chin. He wouldnt wanna get too involved though Tua had that KO power. Your right to expect an avalanche of Holyfield walkover predictions though.

    Holyfield has a better superb chin then Tua? Hmm i don't know about that one. Tua from the beginning of the pros to right now hasn't been stop and never been knockdown (legally)

    Holyfield. Quicker feet, better balance, better combo puncher and a chin that's better or at least equal. He also has more heart, desire, and motivation. If he can take down Tyson he can beat Tua.

    both have insane chins, but the real deal is the smarter fighter and would outwork tua like he did with big george

    Holy had an excellent chin and he was a hell of a lot better boxer than Tua. In my opinion, he keeps Tua turning the way he did Tyson and boxes the **** out of him. Tyson was a massive puncher too and Evander was never in serious trouble in their fight. Tua was a poor man's Mike Tyson.

    I agree with Holyfield to win this fantasy match up but i don't think he has the better chin then Tua. Holyfield has been down before while Tua never have in his pro career.

    Holyfields chin is easily good enough to stand up to Tua's power.

    Chin and power are Tua's only advantages. Everything else, skill, speed, heart, stamina, experience, it all goes Holyfields way.

    He dominates Tua, easily. Not a hard match to pick.

    Tua was slower then Tyson. Total fact on that. Also Tua may have a huge chin, but the fact would be since he is slow and short, Holy wouldv'e out boxed him and moved in and out to win a UD.

    Prime Holyfield stood up to Foreman's power....but than again, that was a 40+ year old Foreman.....I think Holyfield would win on points but could see Tua winning by KO....for those of you saying Holyfield has a better chin....Tua has never been down, let alone hurt his entire career...and he was in with Lewis and Ibeabuchi

    Dude, your avatar... poor Wlad, funny but that sucks.

    By the way, IMO Holyfield, hand down.

    I think we've seen that Tua can knock anybody out, regardless of how good their chin is. But that would be his only chance. No way a prime Holyfield drops a decision to Tua.
