Lets end the Mike Tyson debate

[Master]

You are really stretching yourself, Foreman being fitter than Ruddock at that time! You must be joking Big George was a gimmick he carefully selected his opponents, there was no way he would fight Lewis. Prime Foreman was brutal but the old Foreman was wiser and had a better jab but nowhere as good.

Who is talking about Lennox Lewis?!?! Tyson was broke and forced by circumstances to fight Lennox ....George was 45 why the Hell would he fight a PRIME Lewis?

Gimmick my ass Foreman was a beast end of argument

[Beanflicker]

Old Foreman was no joke... he fought a ton of bums when he first came back (something he readily admits to), but come on... to go the distance and give hell to guys like Holyfield and Morrison, to KTFO Moorer, to whip a young Shannon Briggs at 48... Big George was a freak of nature.

[Beanflicker]

I'm an agnostic and I generally can't stand hearing religious people babble on about "god this" and "god that", but if ONE thing could make me believe in Jesus, it was Foreman's comeback run lol.

In hindsight, Foreman's win against Moorer was one of the worst things to happen to boxing, because it put the thought in every fat, washed up fighter's head that "hey, I think I have a comeback in me, look what Big George did", which lead to the death of many brain cells haha

He did get tooled by Jimmy Young though!

Mentally and in self awareness he was hands down superior to young tightly wound wreckless Foreman, that and his power in any punch he threw serves him better vs Tyson I think. Ruddock was basically a one trick pony.

Foreman in his prime was a scary mother fucker i think with Tyson's mental problems he would be in some deep shit when he found out he was not kncking him out. Also so what if a Prime Evander wobbled him people forget Holyfeild could punch in his prime shit first guy to put mercer on his ass. If Evander got in the ring with Rudduck he would of tooled him hard. Hell i think a old Foreman is better win then anything Tyson ever did still don't know why he did not get in the ring with him to be honest with you Foreman would be a good win no doubt to have.

Who says Tyson couldn't knock out Foreman?

[bradlee180]

Yeah, a slightly past it Muhammad Ali was able to knock out a prime George Foreman, and Ali wasn't even a puncher! Somehow a puncher like Tyson couldn't?

Even that powder-puff puncher Jimmy Young dropped Foreman...

I certainly agree, I think people forget Tyson carriers bombs that come out you quicker than you can see from all sorts of angles. Not to mention Tyson is an overall better boxer than George, those that disregard Tyson as a boxer really have to be questioned for their boxing IQ. He has great defense, timing, power, speed and a tremendous chin. Only thing foreman has is a size advantage, but so did everyone fighting Tyson . Tyson (in his prime) destroys evander, foreman, or lennox

Tyson (in his prime) destroys evander, foreman, or lennox

All one after the other with 1 hand behind his back And Tyson probably would beat up their Dads' too

That's the kind of bullshit statement that really irks me about Tyson fans. He'd never beat Evander NEVER he was hard pressed to win a round vs Evander when Evander had been a 20-1 underdog a week before the fight!!!!

Maybe when Lennox Lewis was younger Tyson would have had a better chance to beat him, but again the style Lennox Lewis used was Tyson's kryptonite.

As for Foreman you all know my views on him...could Tyson hurt or knock down an old or even Prime George Foreman yes....could Tyson stop him? Well the guy only got stopped 1 time EVER and that was by a guy who many fans consider "The Greatest of All-Time"...and newsflash Mike Tyson isn't Ali and he's not Jimmy Young either he's a different kind of fighter altogether. Foreman would scare Tyson simple as that, he'd scare him and batter him like a piñata

lol well i didnt say all that, but i disagree, Tyson that fought holyfield was a shell of his former self, and in the second fight mike was getting the best of him in teh exchanges, he bit his ear in a attempt t0 stop him from buttin and after the second time it worked, and holfiled looked lost when he couldnt tie up, young mike would leave evander on a stretcher, and Lewis? Kryptonite? gtfo

He COULD but he wouldn't.
