TUA vs MIKE TYSON

Tyson would throw the kitchen sink at Tua in the first couple of rounds, he would get caught dropped and KOed.
Joseph Parker then comes into the ring with some Samoan tribesmen, they pick up Mike's lifeless body, take him to the human sacrifice island in the Pacific.
And throw him into the kiwi caves so Andy the Blob Ruiz can gobble up his carcass remains....

 

Why wouldn't Mike be able to take Tua's best shots? He ate massive bombs from Ruddock like it was nothing.

 

Every fight he lost, he was stopped in.

 

He fought Bruno, Smith, and Ruddock and won every fight against them. Just because all his losses are by stoppage doesn't mean he has a bad chin. It's not like you're just gonna stand there for 12 rounds of being hit over and over again without getting damaged.

So if a motivated Mike could take shots from those guys then why would he not be able to take Tuas Shots considering Ruddock than Tua.

 

He didn't take clean shots from those guys. Tyson was pretty decent defensively. When he did get hit clean, he got a closer look at the canvas. I'm of the opinion that Tua could take Tyson's best shot better than Tyson takes Tua's best. Why do I believe this you ask. Tyson was dropped on his ass several times throughout his career by guys that probably didn't hit as hard as Tua. Tua, to my knowledge, was never dropped. Those are the FACTS that I am using to support my arguement.

 

Tyson did take some clean Bruno shots and took a lot of clean shots from Ruddock without even flinching. But I do agree with Tyson not taking that many clean shots from Smith because of the excessive holding.

It also feels like you're just looking at the losses without considering the factors that went into the loss. For example, in the Douglas loss, Mike wasn't even motivated and didn't even wanna fight so he decided to party and had to go on a crash diet at the end because he needed the bonus for making it in at his usual weight. The same thing happened with the first Holyfield fight, he didn't take Holyfield seriously in the first fight and came in much better shape in the second fight and was winning until he decided to bit Holyfield's ear because he couldn't stop headbutting him. I don't think we need to talk about the losses against Lewis, Williams, and McBride because he was far away from his prime but it was pretty impressive of him being able to go 8 rounds with Lewis because even he himself was surprised.

 

Tyson takes Tua out if not UD 12.

 

This is absolutely idiotic and BS! By the time Tua rose to prominence Tyson was way past his prime and was far from the man at HW.

 

Absolutely. Going straight at Mike with the plan of slugging out when you are slower and have one big punch in your arsenal is a terrible idea.

 

You hit the nail on the head, this matchup would erupt in the first 60 seconds to decide who backs up. I don't see anyway this goes to the cards. Tyson is of course the better fighter but Tua's chin ain't easily cracked and I think that when Tyson is stopped from coming forward he's more open to get hit than Tua. This has all the ingredients for an upset but as you said, 50/50

 

Tyson via decision in a competitive fight.

 

Well we’re all entitled to an opinion, I don’t agree with yours and I never mentioned Tyson being in his prime at the same time as Tua. You believe what you want cocker, the truth is Tyson’s manager never took the risk of fighting Tua even though iron Mike was favourite to win, fighting Tua was too risky.
