Mike Tyson wasn’t a slugger his prime, he was very good boxer. People tend to forget than about Tyson. He could release 4 power punches per second, if Tyson threw the same amount of punches Tua did against Ike Ibeabuchi, Tyson would knocked him out. Tyson was faster, smarter and has a better defence than Tua in his Prime.

I will agree that tyson is better than tua and would probably beat him if they fought in their primes but no way will I agree that tyson has more power than tua. and tyson would not ko Ike if tua couldn't do it.

big if , flaw. ike threw 900+ punches in that fight. tua about 800.
the 3 fights (if my memory is working correctly) in heavyweight history in the compubox era with the highest amount of punches thrown are......
1. ibeabuchi-tua
2. izonritei-tua
3. ali-frazier III
tua's 12 round fights had more punches than the thrilla in manila did in 14.
there's a reason why tua's opponents throw so much , flaw.......
don't forget tua's skills are underrated as well he's not as good as mike but he was good enough to win 2 bronze medals.

mike's right and uppercuts were definitely better. tua's hook was pretty damn strong though.
ike had a hell of a chin. he ate tua's left hook all night long. most guys can't even take one.
