    Ok , Two questions here .
    Tony Tucker of the Douglas ft ,in place of Michael Moorer v Holyfield 1 ?
    Could Tucker defeat the Real Deal of 1994 ?

    And second question .
    Tucker of the Tyson ft in place of Moorer again ,up against Foreman .
    How's that TT do against the Foreman who kod MM ?

    Holyfield didn't look good the night he fought Moorer. There's a lot of heavyweights who could beat that Holyfield. And I don't think Foreman could stop Tucker. Tucker was a lot more durable than Moorer and I think he was a better boxer than Moorer. Tucker doesn't have the resume to be considered a legitimate threat h2h but he was a very talented heavyweight. I got Tucker in both matchups.

    Prime tucker?

    Wins both fights.
    Durable, tall, skilled with legs.

    Holyfield looked like crap in the moorer fight, and even at his best he never looked good having to be the agressor. He was best when his opponent came at him.

    Tucker is a stylistic nightmare for old foreman

    I'll say I agree with that , even though TT of the Douglas ft wasn't doing great till the latter round s .
    I've got Tony winning by a close one.
    Could Tucker of the Tyson ft beat beat Foreman ?I'd say yes but if George hurt him would Tucker get to defensive minded and blow it' ?

    A more interesting question, is what if Foreman had taken Tucker as his mandatory, after he beat Moorer?
