    Mike Tyson at his best was much better than Tua. I know Tua has an iron chin and a terrific left hook but was also a lot easier to hit and a lot slower than Tyson too. Tua is tough and would come to fight against Tyson so this would be a crowd pleaser. Tyson would stun Tua but Tua would fight back hard as these two go at it almost toe to toe. Tyson would slip a lot of the big punches of Tua and respond with vicious uppercuts and hooks. This would go on like this until about the 7th round with Tua's eyes beginning to close from the battering. Finally the referee would mercifully halt this fight with Tyson the victor by 7th round TKO.

    Lennox couldnt KO Tua...He Ko'd Tyson

    Tua's has never lost via KO or TKO. Tyson dosent KO him either.

    The fight starts as an allout war. Tua is more cautious but just as vicious as the gatling gun Tyson. Tyson finds alot of his strengths are nullified by an equally powerful, similiar built powerhouse that wont back down or get intimidated. Both men get rocked early and Tyson realises hes matched for firepower. However, its evident that Tua has the better chin as he keeps coming forward to bang even when tagged. Tyson gets tagged but retreats more than Tua. Tyson wisely opts for a different gameplan and opts for more movement and cautious counter punching against the slower Tua.

    Tyson wins a hard fought split decision.

    David Tua's a pretty strong dude. But it wouldn't go 15 rounds. I'd say about 3 or 4. Tyson would knock is block off.

    A prime David Tua had a good chin great left hook very good over all power, with o.k. hand speed.A prime Mike Tyson had a good chin devastating power in either hand, and could rattle off combo's with machine gun speed. It would be interesting to see how Tua would react to Tyson's power and combo's. I would give Tyson 7 rounds to break down Tua and win by stoppage or T.K.O.

    Tyson in two rounds.

    Tua would not be able to withstand the body work Tyson was able to dish out. Tyson would give him a left/right to the ribs and topple Tua with a following right upper-cut. And "Good night nurse!"

    Tyson had more speed, more power and more technical skills, not only would he be able to out slug Tua, he'd be able to out box him too, I say Tyson by KO in like six. Maybe ten.

    if rahman can outbox tua, then tyson does it too. he'll wear down tua and ko him in the late rounds, or take a wide decision.
