Just watched the Trevor Berbeck interview after he lost to Tyson. He was asked "is Mike the hardest puncher you've ever faced?" Berbeck replied "No, he hits from funny angles" So I agree with everyone who says Tyson's power comes from speed and combos rather than purely raw power
I was initially convinced that prime Tyson would KO prime Tua. However, some of you have made a good case for the sturdiness of Tua's chin - so my vote is swayed to Tyson by UD. Tua did go the distance with two devastating punchers in Ibeabuchi and Lewis. I still think that Tyson exhibited the superior head movement as well as the better combinations which would earn him a decision over the sturdy Tua.
Its prime to prime and Mike is the strongest, more accurate and moreskilled fighter. Tua wouldn't know what street he was in after 5 rounds anhd is probably stopped in 7-8.
You people are silly to thik Tyson would stop Tua Tua went 12 rounds with Lennox Lewis who KO'D Tyson:verysad Lewis played with Tyson and beat the hell out of him... Tyson would probaly get frustrated by not being able to KO Tua in 1 or 2 rounds and start doing his usual dirty ****, biting, hitting in the nuts, etc, and would lose by DQ or quit, If Tyson wanted to turn it into a street fight Tua would beat his ass into the ground...
Were talking about a prime Tyson you ***, he never quit a fight once in his prime, not when Buster was beating the **** out of him, noy even in 96 when Holyfield was catching him with open shot after shot, the ref had step in to stop it, he refused to go down. Stick to the Wlad nuthugging, at least your good at that.:yep
I imagine the Tyson that fought Ruddock would be able to handle Tua. The fight would be filled with fireworks, consisting of a lot of toe-to-toe action with both men landing bombs. 91-92 Tyson by TKO. 86-89 Tyson by lopsided UD. 97-00 is 50/50 , 00-beyond, TUA WINS
Yea ******* who was the best fighter Tyson beat in his prime????:nut a Scared Spinks?? Tyson's nut's are probaly getting sore by now get off them, he beat up a bunch of bums from 87-89, with the exception of an old Holmes and a scared Spinks, he's stupid as hell that's why he's broke, an ex-con, drug addict, ******, and looks like a deformed human with the ugly tatoo on his despicable grill, i suppose that's why he's your pitiful hero right . Couldn't deal with a real fighter with Holy that's why he quit' Dq'd himself because he was on his way to getting his sorry ass knocked out... And then he comes back to get KO'D BY Tomato can Mcbride.. I see all of the Tyson JOCK SNIFFERS WANT TO GO BACK TO 1987
That's because Tua tasted some power early on, and then played it safe for the rest of the fight. After about the fourth rd, Tua was just content on losing a decision. Tyson came straight forward all night long and went out on his shield. Not to forget TUA was in his PRIME against Lewis, where Tyson was a decade out of his. BIG DIFFERENCE. Compare their opposition, Tua is not even on Tysons level. -but hey, at least Tua beat a prime Johnny Ruiz.....that has to count for something.
It's no brainer that a prime Mike Tyson's aggresiveness will most likely hurt and knockdown Tua first before Tua can do anything. Tyson KO's Tua.:yep
You know I could make fun of your boy all day, anytime he's hit with a decent punch Wlad drops to his knees faster than Hoss on a date, he's a sorry excuse for Heavyweight and no wonder why the divsion is so unpopular. Tyson was a iconic legend, Wlad "The ***" will never get the love Tyson has got throughout the years. Tyson was the most exciting fighter of his generation, Tyson will be remembered a 100 years from now, will Wlad?
That's your best sorry ass comeback when did i ever say i was a fan of Wlads??? Tyson wasn't exciting unless he was picking his mouth piece off the floor against Douglas Tyson was **** compared against Lewis who KO'D HIS DUMB ASS against Holy who beat him twice?? and was KO'D against' Mcbride, and Danny Williams, Tyson was a super dumb ******* outside of the ring, too that's why he was, locked up for ****, drugs, and being a general pervert, i hope he tries to make a comeback, so some Tomato can can beat the hell out of his shitty ass again..
