Early 90s George Foreman vs. 1997 David Tua.

[Master]

90's Foreman was calm cool and collected and with respect to Tua whos run at top was actually pretty short at Ike loss, seldom did we see that fit firestorm after that. I can see Foremans telephone pole jab and that thing he did where he'd close in and be able to square a short frontal guy up inside with cross guard and those subtle short pushes on the shoulders. Can easily see Tua on his heels and looking to reset more often. Foremans problems in comeback came from hard mobile fast jabbers from Holyfield and Stewart to even a Shultz and Tua is not that. Guess what I'm saying is that even 90's Foreman out crafts and out boxes an always dangerous but free swinger who could be found down center. Body shot bludgeoning big for Foreman also.

You know George would have avoided any serious and dangerous fight and not gone in the ring with Tua.

Tua on points.

George was way too old & slow.

His only chance of victory would have been by KO & no-one is knocking out Tua.

Just take the air out of the hypothetical balloon why don't ya . Had Tua pulled off a mega win and brought in the money I think George would have found his way to him. Probably why he was barking for Tyson at every camera and mic all that time eh.

Foreman would win it's just a matter if it was by KO/TKO or on points.....Foreman would hammer him though

Tua was about the same size as Frazier?

Tua was a little shorter and had a 3" shorter reach.

If a peak Ike and Lennox Lewis couldn't stop Tua neither would an old Foreman.

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.

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.

Busy like walking in behind a jab third the reach of Foremans, leaving his feet with those left hooks. I remember Chris Byrd hurting a huffing Tua to the point of making him grunt and bend over. Foreman had that axe handle half chop to the body he did, it was brutal!
