    When Tyson was champ , and Foreman returned , i did feel it would be a very very interesting matchup, i would have loved to see Tyson be hit be a really big puncher.

    Lewis is probably the biggest puncher the division has had over the last 20 years? Mike took plenty of his shots and had to be pushed down.

    At the time Michael Moorer was undefeated and looking pretty good...he just got done beating Holyfield.

    Didnt you say evander was having heart problems? moorer was far from a list, i know u know that deep down, he may have "looked" pretty good, but he wasnt. because evander stuck around, moorer didnt.

    I was being specific in my comment , at the time id have loved to have seen Foreman v Tyson , and of course Tyson would have thrown plenty of bombs to .

    Just for the record how many big shots did Lewis take from Tyson ?

    Tyson would have beaten Foreman then, remember Tyson took on Rudduck who was far more dangerous at the time than Old George.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    No way. Ruddock was far too fragile to be regarded as dangerous never mind more dangerous than Foreman.

    THIS


    Plus Foreman had power in both hands, didn't need a gimmick punch like "The Smash", and Foreman wasn't enamored of his power he was grown up about it and didn't admire the damager he inflicted until his opponent was down for the count.


    Foreman's simple 1-2 could have taken Tyson. That jab alone, how many rounds could Tyson take of that?

    I'm not so sure about that. Tommy Morrison DESTROYED Razor Rudduck in 2 rounds.

    Tommy ran for 12 rounds from Big George, not daring to stand and trade with him.

    Foreman was old, and looked bad against some sub par opposition, but he was still GEORGE FOREMAN. He still had that power and that mystique.

    Its why Bert Cooper quit against him after 2 rounds, yet had no fear of going head to head with the likes of Holyfield, Mercer and Moorer.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
