Tyson-Hollyfield 1991

[Master]

Can you picture Foreman being floored by a glacier slow James Smith?

In fairness Ruddock beat a fresher Ken lakusta without being rocked

At the time Ruddock was dangerous and remember he took the head off Dokes. Tyson should have beaten him easier but Tyson was poor himself throwing single hots and little head movement but he showed he had a great chin.

Look, I get the fascination with Tyson. Exciting champion with excellent hand speed and power, but he was not invincible. For goodness sake, he was stunned badly against Bonecrusher Smith, imagine what Foreman would have done if he caught him clean, either young or the old version.

Stunned badly? Where did you get that from? What about Tucker landing in round 2? You can count on one hand the times Tyson was cuaght clean at his best.

Tyson was still a decent fighter before prison and Tyson moved from side to side. Holyfield landed about 15 punch combination on George and nearly dropped him. Imagine if Tyson was landing that freely. I think Tyson would have had a field day against Foreman.

Knocked him down early in the fight and then stunned him later on...seen the fight have you?

It was like seeing how a Wlad Klitschko with a better chin would get on.

Lots of holding and mauling from Smith. Only let his hamds go when he knew the bell was near because otherwise fight over for him.
