George Foreman (1991) -vs- David Tua (1998)…

Hi Buddy.
Fair enough, a neat succinct answer from your good self, will take on board.
stay safe , chat soon.

 

Cause Foreman of 1973 streamrolls Tua and knocks him out with uppercuts. Early 70s Foreman way too good for any version of Tua

 

If Tua boxed like Morrison, he could beat Foreman, but that's not his style, he's too static (no footwork).
No one would be knocked out here, and I see a win for Foreman on points.
Foreman Vs. Tua would be a fight somewhere between the fights of Ibeabuchi Vs. Tua and Lewis Vs. Tua.

 

I kinda get why Tua gets so much credit over here with the "big puncher big chin" argument, but still...

Yeah, it is an old Foreman and probably Tua has the upper hand here; however....what in Tua's resume makes him look like he is going to steamroll Foreman?

 

The Ibeabuchi fight.

6-2-4 advantage Foreman.

In this matchup Tua had some athletic advantages such as hand speed and cardio, while also being able to match the Old man's raw punching power and durability. On paper, he might be able to fight at an intense pace taking Foreman out his comfort zone draining his energy.

I think Foreman would be too smart and experienced for that having PTSD from Zaire and Puerto Rico. I would say it's more likely Foreman dictates the pace with his heavy jab and constant forward motion trying to get Tua to back up. I think this is honestly a bad matchup unless Tua can get close and makes it a high pace hectic fight. If Foreman is allowed to push and begins to time Tua with his uppercuts, he will be well on his way to winning a decision or stopping the Samoan late.

 

'Boxer Puncher'. You are hilarious bud keep up the good jokes!

 

Foreman would've avoided him. He cherry-picked his fights very carefully in the 90's.

 

Your posts are peak comedy. The worst part is you are absolutely confident in them so I know you're not joking.

You're the same clown who thought Jeffries was this marvelous well rounded defensive boxer even after I posted reports of his bloody, wild brawl with Sharkey. You think Jeffries fighting some old light heavies proves how great his chin is against modern boxers.

 

There is only a few minutes of footage on Jeffries so one has to rely on reports. Whereas, there is literally hours of footage of George Foreman - enough for any non-******ed person to discern that he wasn't a 'Boxer Puncher'.

 

We're talking specifically about the 90's version of Foreman. You want to make a poll?

 

Knock yourself out

 

With how GF did against Lyle give him 70s Foreman not the 90s guy with the jab.

 

Were you providing advice to Tyson Fury, early in his career, per chance?

Do you do stand up ?

If not you would make a killing.

Old Jorge Foreman could not stop Glass Cannons Stewart/Saverese/Morrrison , all had been stopped within seconds by other fighters before and he needed gift decisions against two all busted up...............could not put a dent in Euro Journeyman Schulz while getting another gift decision...................could not put a dent over the distance vs Clubfighter Grimsley who was dismantled, again, in seconds ,in his next outing vs a Nobody.

The chance of old Foreman stopping or winning a decision vs the One trick Pony who had never been of his feet or hurt while Jorge was around is slim to none and slim just left town plus not in a million years would Team Foreman line up Prime Tua, belt or no belt.

Not ONE of the above Foreman ham and egger opponents would see the final bell vs Tua, they might outbox for some rounds and then they get clipped on their glass and thats that, every single one of them packed China yet the most powerful and strongest Heavy that has ever lived aka Jorge Foreman, could not do jack. Fact.
