I think Foreman would man handle Tua and eventually stop him, they both had huge power but Foreman had the size and strength and would prevail IMO.
I'm not 100% sold on who wins, but if its Foreman, then I agree that it would be via decision. Tua's chin is proven enough and against men who not only had great power, but also additional speed and work rate to land more frequently than Foreman would.
I think Tua will be hitting a brick wall here. Nothing more old Foreman will love than a guy coming to him, esp one as limited as David Tua.
Tua certainly had the style that was tailor made for Foreman. But Foreman's comeback style wasn't as well suited for taking advantage of it as much his style in the seventies was. In addition, for all his shortcomings ( and I agree that he was a very limited fighter ) Tua's chin had to have been one of the best in the division's history.
i still think any version of tua is tailor made for any vrsion of foreman, tua cant box off the back foot, this would fall right into Foremans plan. Foreman will just catch Tua coming in, yes Tuas chin is good but he hasn't been hit by Georg Foreman.
Foreman made his living beating up on short men under 6 feet tall, and Tua at around 5"9 ' with his predictable style would be made to order for George.. Tua hit hard, and yes had a good chin, but skill wise he was very limited... George may drop him on his ass a few times, but i doubt he stops him.. Foreman UD...
How many quality short men did Foreman beat during his comeback? And for all Tua's limitations, he was a quality heavyweight. He wouldn't be like Dwight Qawi, or Guido Trane, or Everett Martin --shorter guys who gave Foreman trouble before eventually losing. Tua, with his power, speed, and work rate, would pose huge problems for Foreman. Heck, I'd love to have seen heavyweight James Toney fight 1991 George Foreman. Toney would make George look foolish!
