    Tyson was a class above Tua. One was a contender then other an undisputed Champion.

    He was 200lb in amateurs. He was also disracefull in his performance against Lewis, he ate one big right and shelled the rest of the fight. Mike would speed blitz him and knock him out.

    Tua got a gift draw when he got his head jabbed off by a 260 lb Rahman, with ZERO movement or skill. The difference in speed and skill is too great to be ignored, Tyson easily beats Tua.

    Tyson beats Tua and very easily, however i dont think this will be short.

    Both guys have top chins,esp Tua. To beat Tyson you need to beat on him for a long time. I see a scorecard victory for Tyson. Unless he loses focus somewhere during the later rounds and/or gets bored and lets his foot of the peddle

    I think Tua can go the distance but that's the only comfort he'd take from this fight. They're just two different class' of fighter.

    I think Tyson beats him up pretty badly over 12.
