Not a good night for TNT. If Lionel Butler could starch him then Big George does the same.

No chance against a prime Foreman, at his best I'd give Tubbs an outside chance of going the distance.
A past it Tubbs against Foreman II is a bit more interesting, and is actually chronologically viable.

Tubbs gave a young Bowe all he could handle and retained his skill-set for a surprisingly long time, so I'll stick my neck out and say that Tubbs had enough mobility and hand speed to be a serious threat to the cheeseburger-monster.

Clarence Hill floored Tony Tubbs early on.George could do that and then some in a first round Kayo.

To be fair, though, Tubbs had a pretty good chin. Tyson was the only one to stop him when he was close to his prime.

Having said that, Foreman would walk right through him. Tubbs had little power to worry Foreman. He had fast hands and decent boxing skills, but he would not be able to give Foreman too much trouble. Tubbs would be doing well to last until the 4th round.
