Heavyweights : Michael Spinks vs. David Tua

[Woldemar]

IMO Tua by KO 9


What your picks?

[zuru]

I love Spinks but think similar to his fight with Mike Tyson.Tua quick ko

[DrDuke]

Tua would have a puncher's chance here only. Spinks by decision, if nothing went wrong in the process.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Look like Byrd v tua

[scorpio83]

Yes, Tua had a puncher's chance with his powerful left hook, but Spinks would not exchange punches with Tua like he did with Tyson as Michael Spinks would be smart enough to out-box him from long range behind his left jabs, "Spinx Jinx" right hands and combinations to take a decision as David Tua was no Mike Tyson.

[gilgamesh]

Tua would either catch Spinks or get outboxed.

I think this would be one of those times when Tua is outboxed for several rounds to finally catch up to his man, and knock him out.

Assuming it's both men at their best.

Look like Byrd v tua

One of Tuas great assets was hus ability to remain dangerous until the final bell.

He wasn't a shriveled up Qawi, either.

Or a washed up, coked out Cooney.

When?

Never. But his movement like byrds would totally befuddle tua. See holmes v spinks 2
