David Tua v.s George Foreman

Tua, points, he boxes at range and uses his reach ,and fast feet to out finesse George.

 

Agreed, this would be the Young fight all over again IMO.

 

Hahaha... David Tua... versus... George... ahahaha.... wait for it... Foreman...

Hahahaha

Is what the the Thread title should be.

 

1_ lewis was not amonster puncher, oliver mccall said that bert cooperand buster douglas were harder puncher than lewis.
2_ david tua in his early career weighed 200-220 pounds, he is pure mass now with overweight.
3_george foreman is by far harder puncher than lennox lewis
4_the style of foreman is not even similar to the style of lewis
5_joe frazier weighed 214 and 224 pounds when he faced foreman and he was better than tua in every aspect

 

so you are comparing the style of a stylist like jimmy young with a short puncher like tua = you know **** about boxing

 

obviously you know the history of boxing

 

Tua definately.

 

Mate, Im a kiwi and a fan of Tua but this would be a slaughter!! Tua would come at Foreman face 1st, Tua has some head movement but not enough, he has a world class chin but Foreman is more than a world class puncher.
Tysons speed would trouble George but Tua doesn't have that....it goes on
It would be a ambulance job no question unless Tua tasted a biggy (like Lewis) and decided to protect his chin legacy by staying away

 

An objective ,and imo ,accurate prediction.

 

very good post, i agree with you on most things

but i still have my doubts that it would easy to push around
the 255 pound tree stump tua that fought lewis,


and interesting enough i see that tua doing better against foreman then
a more primed 235 pound tua,

see tua is not 5'10 i know people that met he is slower to 5'8
this might not help him much in other respects but it does help not to get pushed around

low centre of gravity, its hard to move someone like that

remember frazier was like 5'11


yes frazier was better then tua, and was also short and stocky and strong but he is different fighter

There were times when a 232 pound Foreman did shove back a 222 pound Qawi with ease. At times, Dwight did stand up to him surprisingly well, and even sneaked away a few early rounds with veteran caginess and trickery. Still, this was a conclusive win for George, against a defensively skilled and strong opponent with the lowest center of gravity possessed by any quality heavyweight in recent memory. (5'5-1/2" makes Qawi a comparable visual to Burns and Langford, height wise. Sam would have weighed around 200 at the time of that filmed 20 round win over Jeanette in Paris we've all been studying recently.)

In any event, Foreman-Qawi could be a useful review when considering how George addressed an opponent with an extremely low center of gravity. The man who stood his ground best against Foreman in his long career was Chuvalo, prior to the Canadian's bell getting rung. Chuvalo could have been a record setting power lifter though, if lifting weights had been his preference. (Chuvalo and Bruno Sammartino could easily have switched places. Bruno did spar several rounds with Liston, and appears to have had some talent for boxing, but weight training was his preference, and he wasn't willing to give it up.)

 

Foreman whenever he wants. In a round if he fancies it.

Seriously, I'm getting tired of these Tua vs ATG heavy match-ups. He doesn't beat any of them.

A good chin and a heavy left hook doesn't beat greats. This guy got outboxed by Hasim Rahman and Chris Byrd for **** sake.

 

But... but Ruiz, dude.

RUIZ

 

I'm skeptical of the claims that Foreman could stop him at will. Ibeabuchi and Lennox didn't even come close.

 

Foreman would tko Tua in 4.
