Tyson would have beaten Foreman then, remember Tyson took on Rudduck who was far more dangerous at the time than Old George.

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 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.

Tyson wouldnt have got dropped by Cooper, Wepner and Banks

KO'd "every time he got beat" is a really silly metric. You may as well suggest that Tyson was a more skilled and polished boxer than Ali, because Ali lost decisions, and Tyson never did.

Well remember the biggest trouble for Holyfield going into the heavyweight division was that he didn't have the power to be a heavyweight....and he stopped Tyson. Now if we're comparing Tyson to Ali, well Tyson put himself in position to be stopped due to his style whereas Ali did not.

But I enjoy that the Tyson fans constantly dodge the issue as what would have happened in a fight vs Foreman. Was Foreman "old and slow" yeah...and he still became THE heavyweight champion (something Tyson never accomplished post prison...he had titles but never THE title, he was never considered "A #1 Duke of NY" after prison).

Riddle me this Tyson fans...when exactly was Mike Tyson's prime? If it was "before he left Rooney" then dear God he fought a lot of bums, no wonder he looked so damn invicible.

Thats because tyson didnt get to fight Michael moorer, Goerge comeback was planned perfectly, the only outstanding guy he fought was evander and he lost, and tyson has fought enough names in his prime to show us what he would do to just about anybody, michael spinks and bruno aren't exactly a list but after what he did to them, its hard to argue anyone else would do better, espeacially grilled sausage eating george


Oh and evanders big ass head stopped tyson

George was up for fighting anyone ESPECIALLY Tyson who was the perfect style match for Foreman. Tyson would come straight in, not move his head, be easy to land the 1-2 on, and be easy to tie up and out muscle on the inside.

As for who Foreman fought in his comeback compared to who Tyson fought after prison...you tell me who's more dangerous: Bert Cooper, Gerry Cooney, Evander Holyfield, Pierre Coetzer, Tommy Morrison or Peter McNeely, Buster Mathis Jr., Frank Bruno, and Bruce Seldon
