    Default foreman tyson

    Tysons shot and even a near 60 year old Foreman could beat him. it would be interesting to see the oldest ever heavyweight champ versus the youngest (although tyson was not the linear champ till he beat spinks, so some people may argue that patterson was the youngest title holder)

    They could box now. Foremans in pretty good shape. All he would need to do is hit tyson a few times and the fight would be over. In there primes Foreman would have destroyed tyson inside 3 rounds.

    God knows about now to be honest, but would be fooking painful to watch. In there primes i disagree actaully, Foreman even in his prime through MUCH slower punches then a Prime Mike, Mike also had a better defence. Tyson late stoppage.

    Tyson is overated and fought in a very weak division.

    I agree. Based on Foreman taking out Frazier and Norton sure beats Tyson taking out Spinks and an over the hill Holmes. Yes Foreman got knocked out by Ali, but I'd rather have lost to Ali than be Mike Tyson and have to tell my grandkids I lost to Buster Douglas.

    Yeah i definitely consider Foreman as having a greater career and record. Personally i just see prime Tyson as unique although, id is very rare to see someone with blistering hand speed combine that with VERY VERY heavy punches in both hands. IMO Foreman was alot slower then mike and his bobbing and weaving style he used in his PRIME would give Foreman all sorts of problems.

    What heavyweight division except the early seventies (and mid nineties) wasn't weak??

    Look at the division ruled by:

    a.) Louis
    b.) Marciano
    c.) Liston
    d.) Holmes
    e.) Dempsey

    The Heavyweight divsion has traditionally had just 1 or 2 dominant fighters in each era - Tyson's era was no different

    i agree tyson was good but overrated in my book he destroyed berbick but wasnt berbick destroyed in 1 round earlier in his career ?? and lost almost every round against holmes and spinks yes it was excellent win but spinks only got title getting two gift decisions against shot and older larry holmes when you can take tysons punches and start fighting back you can discourage him and win which has been proven and im not dissing tyson he was great fighter had good speed and power but he is bit overrated in my book sorry folks
