    no way.. let me repeat.. NO WAY in HELL Tua lasts more than 3 rounds..

    Tua was just not fast enough..

    what is under-rated IMO is Mike's speed!

    Mike was FAST!

    Larry holmes once said that getting hit by Shavers was like getting hit by a mack truck going 10mph but getting hit by Mike was like getting hit by a sportscar going 80mph and then 5 more cars going 80 right behind them

    it wasnt that he was Super strong or big.. but strong and SO FAST

    Tyson dominates early, doesn't quite get the KO then the fight would slow into a boring tepid hug fest with Tyson taking a wide UD.

    Do you use the bob/weave aggressive style when you box in practice LOK?

    Explosivo continues to expose his intense lack of boxing knowledge.

    Hey now, even the most knowledgeable fans thought Chris Byrd was gonna be a force at 175 and able to kick all sorts of ass. Look how dumb we all look now.:lol:
    Hey, he took punches from Klitschko at heavyweight, he'd be 'iron-chinned' at 175! :laughing:
    Who really knows anything about boxing? Crazy sh*t happens like Tyson getting whupped by Douglas.:eeeek:

    Tua would taste a Tyson combination and shell up, and pulls a Bonecrusher to a boring 12 round UD loss

    Tyson lights him up early and cruises to a wide points victory as Tua stops engaging
