    i agree. i do think Tua MIGHT have a chance at beating foreman in a slug out. Short stocky 234 pound brick house hittin Foreman right on his chin..ouch. I know Tua was a B class fighter but i'd be scared for anyone who went to war with him. Respect to Ike

    Great post. There was a reason why a young Foreman always respected Liston. Shavers hit harder than Tua, Tyson, or the Klits.

    even though he never had a belt he had a decent resume.

    Anyone that traded with a prime Tua got ****ed up. If you gave him a chance to land his shots, the chances are you would be worse off after the exchange.

    Tua is a great pick.

    He was never a great boxer but anyone trying to beat him in a slugfest would get knocked out.

    Nobody stands toe to toe with Foreman. If you do there better be a strategy like Ali had. Foreman's glancing blows put people on ***** street. Foreman has "field" strength.

    Ali never slugged or went toe to toe with anyone.
