Tua was avoided by belt holders for good reason. He was a danger to anyone. He obviously didn't have the right backing to get himself into the title picture, and nobody with a belt was calling him out. I also read he threw his right shoulder out early in the Lewis fight and couldn't press as hard as he usually did.

It was so easy for Lewis to avoid Tua's big punches. All he did was sway back, using his superior height. And then used his superior reach to keep him away with the jab, until time to unleash a power punch. So easy. He beat Tyson the same way, and would have destroyed little Mike even easier had they fought in their prime. Lewis was big AND smart, unlike the big hacks little Mike faced earlier in his career.

The guy's his size avoided him because his chin was so strong they knew they were going to have to suffer through him lobbing bombs at them for 12 rounds and any one could means lights out. Tua's problem was he never really learned how to take on the tall heavyweights. Lewis took him to school by just hanging on the outside for twelve rounds taking points with his jab. This was the only way to beat Tua because he was impossible to knock out. Which is why the not so tall guys didn't want a piece of him. If he had a trainer who could teach him how to fight bigger guys he'd have been unstoppable.

Would have been an awesome fight to see. So similar in style and size. Tyson would have been tipped to win though. Tua was a hard hitter as well as unstoppable and tyson didnt have the height advantage that Tua had the biggest problem facing. But Tyson was much more skilled in defense and attack giving him the edge. It is only after the jail time when Mike lost that top game edge would Tua have a better chance to win. Problem is, that's when he also faded. Two great fighters but Mike was better as their records showed.

Nah Lewis hit tua with a couple right hands in the first and second rounds and tua pretty much turned the agression switch off while Tyson kept being aggressive and went out on his shield.

This was we'll done, I'll subscribe comrad

The difference is the chin. Mike's was tested by Buster, Evander and Lennox. I heard that Tua has got a chin. That would make a difference between these two.

About the same height and build, both fast, extremely powerful punchers, both able to absorb punches well. Tua by temperament calm and scientific, Tyson impatient and aggressive, Tua able to go to the end of a bout without signs of excessive fatigue, Tyson said to lack stamina. Whatever. Without a matchup it is all speculation

Who were the "big time" heavyweights Tua fought? Lewis: He lost. Badly. Chris Byrd: He was soundly out-boxed. Hasim Rahman: He got a lucky shot in the first fight (that he was losing) and then got a lucky draw in the second. He flattened none of these three men He also lost to the not very "big time" Ike Ikeabuchi. Tua was limited. He was damn good with the tools he had; but he just didn't have enough tools to beat top competition. Yeah: He made short work of boxers who weren't very good (or long past it like Michael Moorer was) but he struggled against anyone big time.

I remember being so disappointed in the Tua vs Lewis fight 😭 haunts me to this day..

Never seen Frazier fights. How was he harder to hit that Tyson? Just from the clips I've seen on youtube, he seemed more static and easier to pick off?

Fantastic.

Tua COULDN'T fight like Joe Frazier for a number of reasons. 1) Joe had longer arms, 2) Tua was bigger and heavier, 3) Joe almost exclusively relied on his left to deliver power hits/hooks (due to damaged sub-scapularis tendon in right shoulder), 4) Joe had a unique style of footwork and hand-milling that frankly I think no one else could copy

Why when people talk about the Mike Tyson Buster Douglas fight they never bring up the fact that he knocked Buster Douglas out. Holyfield didn't want no parts of a Primetime Mike Tyson not even Lennox Lewis wanted apart of a prime time mike Tyson. The only real problem Tyson would have had in his way would have been a prime time David tua.

mike tyson is different bro

Huge Tyson fan here. I believe in the 80s, Mike Tyson would have been an absolute nightmare for any heavyweight throughout history and would have beaten most of them. During the 90s, I don’t see this fight being very competitive. I think after the first couple of rounds, Tyson would have faded quickly and probably would have been stopped around the 6th or 7th round. The Tyson of the 80s with the great head movement, speed, combination punching, and determination would have won this fight, but it would have been a great one.

Tyson had a Superior teacher in cuss d'amato .. but if both were trained by cuss ,tua wins ....

I think it would of been a good fight. I would side with Tyson. Because of his speed and footwork. If you compare both styles even though similar Tyson's is more explosive. But in boxing anything could happen.
