    Wanted to get the Brit forums take on this since the ****** room will **** all over this match.

    I think Tua actually has a good chance, the guy who took out Ruiz in 30 seconds. Would be a good slugfest anyway

    No, Tyson has faster hands, is a two-handed puncher, needed to absorb major punishment to go down, and is the far more rounded operator.

    It's not that the General would laugh at this thread, it's that it's not a very good matchup.

    Would be fun, yes, that cannot be denied. But interesting enough to warrant a thread? Not IMO, Tyson would win with ease. Tua would have to hold on like Bonecrusher to survive.....Tucker>>>>Tua all the way :deal

    Tyson is too fast for Tua. Early, one sided KO.

    The fact is, when you're worried the General might think it's a **** matchup, it's a **** matchup.

    Tyson's speed and movement would see him keep touching Tua. If he doesn't fall then he'll lose on the card. Tysons chin stands up to the few that get through.

    Post prison Tyson v Prime Tua would be a closer fight.
     
  10. Tyson with his good chin would have boxed his slug to victory.

    Young Tyson annihalates Tua.
    The Tyson after prison, as already mentioned would have had a slugfest with Tua, and been much more competititve.

    I think Tua outworks him. I don't think he annihilates him, but I do think he'd be able to put Tua into a shell. A bit like Tyson-Ruddock, where there were some big slugfest exchanges, but ultimately Tyson won out by being the much more consistant aggressor.

    Tua's got a good chin but he'd get stopped early in this. He'd be beaten to the punch and countered with nasty consequences.

    I think Tyson would stop him late, anyone who thinks Tyson is going too far imo.
