Just as I stated in my posts in the other thread, I do not see Tyson beating Foreman during his prime or otherwise. I gave statistics to support my claim. Now comes this article which I think was well written and although hearsay may actually be true. The best proof to prove some truth to the article was that Foreman called out Tyson a number of times (I am old enough to remember being 43 years old). Why did the fight not happen? Foreman was almost drooling to have the chance to fight Tyson and prove he was the bigger man.

I do not agree about Big George lack of defense. If he got hit as many times people claim, he would have had the same speech condition as most boxer's his age. Yet you see and hear him today. He talks and speaks his mind as if he only fought once in his career rather than 80+. He probably had the best defense of all (what ever it is..a slight movement of the head..being faster than a lot of people giving credit for to avoid the heavy punches). I mean look at the man today compared to Tyson. He was and still is a better physical and mental specimen than Tyson ever was.

I compare Tyson to Frazier. I again do not agree that Frazier was slower than Tyson. He gave Ali a beating for christ's sake. Ali's defense was second to none. I totally agree with Cus D'amatos purported statement that Tyson would have difficulty fighting Big George.

I see the fight lasting all of three rounds with a big uppercut and right hook from Foreman to end the bout.
