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.

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.
aaaahhhhh come on, its not even fair to judge that version of mike tyson vs lewis, its like saying tarver is better than roy

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.

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 honestly think Tyson's chin is overrated, the man got KO'd every time he got beat and was rocked against total shite like Bonecrusher Smith and Frank Bruno. Yes they were big punchers but do you see someone with a genuine chin like an Ali, Frazier or Holyfield being rocked by these bums in their primes? I don't!
Foreman would have frightened Tyson with his power, Tyson used to rely on frightening his opponents with his power before they even got in the ring and when someone wasn't frightened like Evander and Lewis weren't he got destroyed. I'm fed up of people making excuses for Tyson like he wasn't in shape etc. He came out of prison doing the same thing he did before he went in, and that was destroying bums. He beat a better version of Bruno in better fashion after he came out of prison but just ran into a better fighter in Holyfield and got beat quite easily. Tyson fans just need to accept these FACTS.
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 ?"
