    Fight should have happened

    Would Tucker have become lineal champion?

    I doubt it. Tucker is too stationary at this stage. And a big target at that. Perfect for the Foreman jab. In 1995 Bruce Seldon's jab closed Tucker's eye forcing a stoppage. Tucker then went on to lose another two fights in a row against Akinwande and Orlin Norris.

    Tucker was past his prime by then and had a cocaine addiction.
    But assuming he comes in prepared, he should get a decision. Foreman was too slow by that point.

    Probably not.

    Now if he had got his mandatory shot against Spinks, then that might have been a different matter.
