"Tokyo" Buster Douglas vs. "Prime" David Tua

I was going by the Ibeabuchi fight as the closest approximation of Tua's prime.

Even that Tua loses a near shutout to Buster on his miracle night.

 

I define Peak Tyson as spanning from Berbick '86 to Spinks '88.
That's 8 fights or 46 rounds, hardly what i'd call a "few moments".

 

Douglas UD

 

That version of Douglas should be able to take a wide UD, but the version that fought Holyfield looses.

 

You believe Tyson was in his prime after three years in prison?

 

Douglas UD's Tua, it would a similar fight to the Tyson fight. Tysons forgot more than Tuas ever learnt

Infact Tua did fight a similar fighter with a similar style and got schooled (in his prime), i think dudes name was Lennox something.

If Tuas backpeddles like he did vs LL, then its UD for Buster, if he keeps coming forward, Tua's getting KTFO.

 

Douglas by knockout.

Tua really wasn't that good.

 

I completely agree with this post, it sums up my thoughts too. :good

 

Ah, you know that old saying, great minds think alike
:good

 

Tua has an outside chance of a late KO

 

Yes
