Joe frazier (rip) would be the smallest opponent wlad....

he was in the Tyson sweepstakes

He wanted tyson? Really? He was stripped for refusing to fight tucker and backed out of a rahman fight!

I think george talked a good game but was never really up for pursuing a tyson fight.

The Cooney-Foreman fight was for the chance to fight Tyson and well Tyson never fought the winner of that fight as he would have gotten his ass kicked like a little child

OK.

What belt was it an eliminator for exactly?

It wasn't an eliminator it was a fight people were talking about because Mike Tyson was running out of opponents at that point in time (bar Holyfield who was working towards but not ready yet for Tyson so the promoters/pundits thought) as evidenced by his fight a month after the Foreman-Cooney fight with Buster Douglas. After that loss Tyson went to jail, Foreman continued his comeback and the fight never materialized.

You keep perpetuating that myth hoping it will become real but Tyson fought a far more dangerous Rudduck twice so Foreman would have been easier. Foreman was happier to take on Holyfield instead.

George sure as shit would have beaten Mike Tyson into the canvas!!!! Remember Sonny Liston vs Floyd Patterson This would be the very same style match up and I would expect the very same results

Peak George you would have an case but Old George against a still decent Tyson who had not been to jail yet would batter George.

.....so let me get this straight Old George Foreman was still good enough to win THE heavyweight title but not good enough to beat Mike Tyson who was a damned train wreck at that point in time and who never held meaningful titles after he lost to Buster Douglas?

George Foreman ALWAYS beats Tyson...prime vs prime it's George's power and strength and in his older age it's a psychological war and Tyson just couldn't handle it. And yes it would look 100% like this



George Foreman learned a lot from Sonny as you can see just from the style in which he fought. Mike Tyson had Patterson's exact same style, exact same trainer, same fast hands, more power than Patterson (but Foreman had more power than Liston too), and he'd get dominated the same way Patterson did.
