Re: Prime Tyson in the 70s
The fighters Foreman admitted he feared: smokin joe and ken norton, he destroyed. Foreman said he wasn't afraid of Ali. Ali knocked Foreman out. So george fought better when he was scared. George got knocked down a number of times in fights. I can't remeber which ones but he was on the verge of elimination because he had been knocked down two times in one round. It might have been against Ron Lyle. I'm not sure. Prime Tyson would have did well in any era. bar none

I like Tyson as well, but when was the last time he got up from a KD to win a fight? And Foreman was not knocked down a number of times, not in his prime. I know Lyle, who was a beast and woulda posed a hell of a challenge for Tyson, and Jimmy Young knocked big George down, but those fights both took place after Foreman's crippling loss to Ali.

Nice One.
If we had a time machine, they could fight in the Philippinnes, maybe with Pac on the undercard..........
The 'Griller' in Manilla

Re: Prime Tyson in the 70s
Foreman admitted he was scared but you couldn't tell by looking at how he fought. I'm sure Tyson was scared at times, I mean he cried before fights.
Foreman was most scared of Norton, he said he really didn't want that fight but it was made and there was nothing he could do about it but fight him....and he blasted poor Ken
