There you have it, Foreman wanted Tyson and the bout was going to happen but then.....

[ross]

Your such a little twat

I never said Foreman didnt want to fight. What I said was Mike being "scared" wasnt the reason. In fact, the video reminded me that I read an old stpry that the reason the foght didnt happen is because George wouldnt sign the contrat because of King. Or that was his excuse anyway

First of it should be "you're" or "you are"

What story is this sir? Where is the proof?

George still wanted no part I take it?

Maybe he didnt want to try and deal with Mikes speed. I dont doubt he could take a clean shot off Mike without going down but I do doubt that he could make a competative fight and he was probably thinking that himself. He wasnt quick in his youth, let alone his 40's. He took a ton of shots from Holyfield who wasnt as quick or powerfull as Mike.

Oh really? I mean UNLIKE Tyson, Big George lasted the distance vs Evander Holyfield. Even old George would have hammered Tyson not to mention a Prime for Prime matchup, Tyson would have had no chance!!!!

When was Foremans prime?

For as big, strong and powerfull as he was he never dominated the division. He made one successfull defence in the seventies.

I'm not 100% confident an old Foreman would have beaten Tyson in his prime but I would certainly have gone for him (Prime Foreman isn't even an argument for me, he destroys Tyson) . Foreman was awesome against people who came forward and Tyson didn't go backwards and if it came to a blow for blow fight Foremans chin, Heart and power all outweigh Tysons.

He lost to Ali...you're going to hold that against hinm Tyson lost to Buster fucking Douglas!!! And even in his 40's George stood toe to toe with Evander Holyfield....something "Iron" Mike attempted and couldn't do.

he didn't dominate the division because the HW division wasn't in the toilet, it clearly was when Tyson came along

[ross]

He didnt just lose to Ali though did he. Alao, im wrong, he didnt only make just one successfull defence. It was 2

Well it's just a damn shame he didn't get to fight Carl Williams and Pinklon Thomas instead of Ali and Frazier

i can explain so many reasons why what your saying is wrong, frankly, to anyone that knows boxing, its a silly argument.
