Prime Evander v prime Tua?

Would fun to see someone pick Tua.

The truth is that Tua can't possible win against prime Evander unless he breaks a leg or something. Sure, he will land occasionaly and probably rock him once or twice, but Holy would bounce back. He always did. Wide UD for Holyfield.

 

That's another gem.

 

Holyfield lopesided decision . Tua just isn't good enough, for any all time great.

 

Holyfield by a white-wash UD.
I also think Evander could TKO Tua late if he was feeling particularly aggressive.
Seriously, Holy from 1988 (Pinklon Thomas fight) to 1999 (Rematch with Lennox Lewis) beats the Peak Tua of 1996-97. :deal

 

Holyfield in a one-sided decision, everything Tua does is made to order for Holyfield, but I guess he could score a KD Bert Cooper style but that would be his only moment. Holyfield would counter Tua with impunity

 

i wouldn't go that far. i think the holyfield of 1990-1993 easily beats tua. after that point, holyfield was an inconsistent fighter. tyson brought out the best from his opponents in a way tua did not.
