Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Tua would need a good right hand besides that big hook, one shot would NOT take Foreman out. If Frazier had a great right, he may have KOed Ali, but it was always just that big left, over and over, you'd see a right cross maybe once a round at best.
Foreman would ~club~ Tua out in Max 5. 1973 Foreman Tua wouldn't make it to the 3rd.
It's a really tough call for me, going by where both guys were at. Tua of '97 may just have outworked Foreman. I think Tua could stand up to a 90s Foreman's power.
They live, We sleep
The ONLY worry I'd have with Foreman in this fight would be if he could get his uppercut under the much shorter Tua's chin.....those giant right hooks to the body George threw would have had Tua bouncing all over the ring like a pinball.
Anybody in this thread who thinks David tua had any chance at all doesn't know anything about boxing
Yes Morrison did beat George but he BOXED him.
Tommy Morrison could have had any number of amazing fights in his era I really wish he had fought Bowe and Holyfield because I think he was basically the heavyweight Arturo Gatti he could box but he could also get in knockdown drag out brawls. A rematch vs Mercer would have been good too....he was doing well before he got tired and then got hammered. Morrison vs Shannon Briggs would have been good. Morrison vs Moorer would have been good. There's really not a bad watching fight that Tommy could have been in....Morrison vs Tyson would have been great. It's a shame his career ended how it did, he still had some left in the tank and although he was never going to be THE A#1 heavyweight he was going to be in the mix of contenders.
The reason Morrison beat Foreman is cuz Morrison was in the prime of his life in about 25 years younger. Also let's not forget that Tommy Morrison was a very big dude I think he was the same size as George Foreman. On the other hand David tus would have been so dwarfed by Foreman it's hard to imagine him out boxing big George
