Tua KO'd Rachman only after hitting him after the bell in a fight he was being boxed silly in. He KO'd Maskeav in the the 11th round of a fight he was being boxed silly in, and Oleg was one of the slowest, most fragile chinned title holders in the division's history. And he KO'd bum ass Ruiz. Rachman, Oleg, and Ruiz woulda lasted about 5-6 rounds COMBINED with a prime Tyson. Plain and simple.... Tua wasnt in Mike's league.
I said he kod futur champions -Check I said no great but good -Check Never been koed -Check Tyson didn't beat ATG either -Check Closer than what most thinking. I know..Tyson is a God here...
Every time I think of Tue I think of how slow, plodding and one dimensional he is...then I think of the Ibeabuchi fight. Douglas aside, the only time Mike was in there with an opponent who went toe to toe with him and didn't crumble he bit the man's ear.
Is this some kinda joke?:huh Prime Tyson would be too much for Tua...Tua is tough as hell but he just doesnt have what it takes to offset Tyson movement and nullify his speed.
Tua's will, chin and toughness would be a nightmare for Tyson. I think Tyson wins it. But i can see Tua wearing him down and discouraging him also. Greteast HW fight of all time!
I dont dispute Tua being tough, hence me mentioning that...but at the end of the day... IMO, I think Tyson will find a way to seperate himself...Tua is there to be hit and he doesnt have the boxing ability to throw Mike off of his game...Tua will make it an ugly fight no doubt but he eventually start to get off his game. Thats just my opinion of course!:good
I kinda agree with the outcome. Just that people are praising Tyson like some kind of God who would have dispatch Tua like a bum. Who did that to Tua? I think Tyson-Tua would have been a hell of a fight.
