    I don't know but Pac can knock them out when his toes aren't stepped on. I rewatched all of Pacs fight that didn't end in a knock out and all of his opponents are habitual toe steppers. Even though Mannys foot work is impeccable I really wish he would glue nails to his shoes so he can knock out all of his opponents.

    It would have to be Tua since he went the distance, but both were dominated.

    What point are you trying to make? That Tua was better than Tyson? :lol:

    Obviously, Tua, since Lewis just spent the entire "fight" running away.

    If we are rating on the performance vs Lewis only (which I thought was the point) to me Tyson at least went out on his sword, Tua was there for 12 rounds trying not to get too hurt, for that I respect Tysons effort more.

    tyson never had stamina issues in the 80s before doing bird. gets on my tits when people go on about that, he had no problem of bringing the speed and power late. most were looking to survive.

    Just like he brutalized Chris Byrd, Rahman and Maskaev? Tua showed that he could be easily outboxed by fighters with halfway skills, like Oleg Maskaev. When in shape Tua was a threat, but he's limited. Very limited.

    At least Tyson went out on his shield against Lewis. Tua basically quit.

  14. Tyson went into that fight knowing he couldn't win. He wasn't in great mental shape and was a bit heavy too.
    Tua was in his prime and he just didnt do anything. The most interesting thing about that fight was the pile of **** on Tua's head that he called a "hairstyle."
    I'd say Tua did better by default.
