    Tua's power was incredible and his KOs were some of the most brutal. Tyson scored spectacular KOs and had the same proportions as Tua. Who was the bigger puncher?

    You can see the difference between them after Tyson deteriorated and became a slugger. Tua was the bigger puncher for sure.

    Pure punching power, Tua. And, unlike Tyson, he carried his power into the later rounds. But Tyson was more effective at delivering it.

    Tua had the more powerful single shot with his left hook, and his power carried into later rounds.

    Tyson had a better right hand than Tua, and a better variety to his offence and was faster.
