Well #1 Ike is the stuff of legend because nobody knows how good he could have been or if he had hit his peak #2 Lennox kept Tua at bay and boxed him and Tua did pretty much nothing that entire fight #3 Monte Barrett hit Tua and knocked him down granted it was later on in his career, Felix Savon KO'd Tua in like a minute so it wouldn't have been impossible, improbable but not impossible. I just think an older Foreman lulled a lot of guys into believing he was just a sweet old guy who didn't want to hurt anyone....Evander Holyfield got woke up by George, Michael Moorer got put down by him...I think Tua would have been naive, let himself get tagged and if you let Foreman tag you you're not lasting 12, sorry not happening.
I am not saying Tua would turn into Tommy Morrison and outbox George but he could be busier and keep Foreman honest enough to beat him on points.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
