    An old king with only a small piece of the land making his final stand in a young and hungry realm. Does Foreman have a chance to beat Tua?

    Tua by wide UD.
    His youthfulness would be the major difference.

    I think I'd pick the Foreman who fought Holyfield to beat Tua. But Foreman probably wouldn't make the same calculation, and thus would avoid the fight.

    I think the Tua that fought Ike very the Foreman who fought Briggs resembles the Holyfield fight but George will have less success. The Foreman who fought Holyfield though? He could beat Tua. Any Tua.
