    Stunned badly? Where did you get that from? What about Tucker landing in round 2? You can count on one hand the times Tyson was cuaght clean at his best.

    Tyson was still a decent fighter before prison and Tyson moved from side to side. Holyfield landed about 15 punch combination on George and nearly dropped him. Imagine if Tyson was landing that freely. I think Tyson would have had a field day against Foreman.

    Knocked him down early in the fight and then stunned him later on...seen the fight have you?

    That was it? The punch. Wow you got me there. I take everything back.

    I saw the fight and it was a snoozefest.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Psychologically Foreman would stare holes thru Tyson. It would be man vs boy. Wayyy too much is trouncing Rudduck who as it turned out would have his biggest claim to fame based off two losses. There is zero comparable in regards to his paw jab and cock & fire musket of a left vs a Holyfields combination punching.

    It was like seeing how a Wlad Klitschko with a better chin would get on.

    Lots of holding and mauling from Smith. Only let his hamds go when he knew the bell was near because otherwise fight over for him.
