    @STEVIE G - lol i thought Tinfoil missed a lefthook for one of Lenny's many huge bodyguards, then lept to teh floor And chomped on Lenny's chin like a rabid dog. To be fair, Tinfoil was a crackhead.

    *not chin, i mean shin! Oh And '96 Tua destroys '88 Tyson. Styles make fights. Both are sluggers but Tua has better chin, power, strength, And heart. '96 Tua KO6 '88 Tyson. In '96 Tua wins with KO5.

    Fj360 is a XPERT. Tinfoil never beat anyone who punched as hard as Tua! The Tuaman destroyed toughman Ruiz. Tyson cant take Tua's power for long, like Frazier VS Foreman Tua is a mega uber puncher, Tua punches twice as powerful as Bruno, Razor Ruddock, Golota, Tucker And Bonecrusher!

    Did Tua ever fight anyone like Mike Tyson should be the question

    Every version of Tyson at least until 1996/7
    would have stopped Moorer and beat Mercer better than Fergusson and Holyfield did which means by stoppage.
    Tyson would have stopped the old Foreman .
    He will struggle with Cooper but would have stopped him after 3-5 rounds .
    Morrisson and Briggs get stopped too.
    Tua would have struggled with Tyson but would have at least last the distance against Rooney Tyson and stopped the other versions.
    Bowe vs Tyson IDK.
    McCall IDK.
    Grant would have probably stopped Tyson.
    Tyson would not have managed to foul him the way Lennox did and never hit hard as McCline to break Grant's ankle .
    Rahman should be regarded a small underdig vs any version of Tyson up to 1997 and quite a big underdog vs a "Rooney Tyson".
    Ruiz gets stopped.
    Byrd may have lasted the distance with "Rooney Tyson" and vs any other version IDK.

    FJAY360's question still stands.
    You can nuthug Tyson all day long but remember you don't have the answer.
    Tua proved he can last wars .
    I think the most relevant fights of his in this question are Ibeabuchi (which he never lost to) and Izon .

    Neither one of these guys could take a punch like Tua could and Tua hit even harder than both.
    Each one of these men had his share of humiliating defeats. Tua at least as a pro never lost in a humiliating fashion.
    Haters use to bring the Savon fight , but examples like these are there even regarding McCallum , Holmes (bar the 'even') , Ali (was admittedly stopped as an amateur) , Roid Jones and even Savon himself when he was younger.

    what a disgrace of a lying hater.
    Idiot.
    Which Tua fights did you watch ?
    I expect you to lie again.
    Tua didn't lose to Byrd nor to Ibeabuchi .
    He did lose a more lopsided than it should have been decision to Lewis , which he never had a chance against in first place because of the huge size disparity , but even then he was far from getting stopped.
    Tua could both take a punch and give a punch much better than Douglas and even better than Holyfield.
    Michael Grant could actually stop Tyson , I know you didn't watch his fights either.
