Who was the harder hitter, Mike Tyson or David Tua?

Yes indirectly though

After beating Tua, Ike knew he could become the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world. Without the help of a manager or promoter, so he started acting independently

A big :nono in boxing, because Ike was going to beat the promoters/managers out of their $

He couldn't beat them, Thats why he lost his mind

 

Tyson's uppercuts. Look what he did do Bruno, and Razor Ruddock with them.

 

Tua's left hook was more powerful than any one punch in Tyson's arsenal. But Tyson was the better all round puncher.

Tyson could take you out with either hand with any power punch, while Tua was all about the left hook. Tyson was also the better combination puncher.

 

Here's what Ron Lipton, a guy who referee'd a couple of Tua's fights, said about his left hook:


"Trust me on this,

I boxed with Joe Frazier, saw all his fights, mostly ringsisde and I travelled to do so. Saw him in Philly all the time in the gym and we stayed friends for years. Those of you that have my tape saw footage of this.

Anyway I refereed David Tua twice, against Dan Morgan and Rick Hunnicut. Frazier's hook was applied in relentless fashion in combos and in single blasts and levelled the best and wore down the best and it was just stupendous. One of the best of all time.

David Tua's left hook in one shot was the most heavy punch in the ring a human being could throw. It does not land cleanly much of the time. When it lands cleanly on the chin, people go unconscious. It is a frightening heavy dangerous knockout shot. The way he gets his awesome shoulder structure and tree trunk legs into it is just beyond belief when it lands. The sound of it on the head says it all. He almost killed both of the guys I mentioned and I had to use all my speed to get there to prevent just one more punch."

 

haha, I see FlexA, FlexC and Flex D were taken also

Tyson had more power, faster, more torque, but both close
