    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

    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
