Watch how Foreman uses his hands to steer Frazier away from him. Foreman is out of range to Joe because his arms are so long and he's making Joe waste energy....lots of it. You can see from Foreman's footwork he wasn't just a slow plodding guy, he was just a guy who liked to have his feet firmly planted so he could really sit down on those power punches. Foreman's power was such that he didn't have to land clean, even a partially blocked shot would hurt a fighter.
Yes Mike Tyson probably would have offered more punches, but he would have also wanted to clinch and Foreman wouldn't have allowed that he would have kept Mike at distance.
I think one of the most underrated punches Foreman had in his arsenal was his right hook, yes it was a huge haymaker but he always threw that to the body and it was just a big clubbing, thudding power punch you had to brace your entire body for.
After watching Holyfield manhandle Mike Tyson in their bout I have 0 doubts Foreman whether (Old or Young) would have demolished Tyson....he's just too scary...too tough....too mean. George Foreman is the Boogie Man that haunts Mike Tyson's Boogie Man, he's just a scary SOB in the ring.
