1991 George Foreman KNOCKS OUT 1991 Mike Tyson

[El Kabong]

Again Tommy Morrison didn't fight like Tommy Morrison when he fought Foreman. ...he boxed, he moved. Things that were NEVER in Tyson's repertoire.

As for the overhand right...Tyson bobs and weaves, yes but that slows over the course of a fight and fighters can start to time their opponents.

If Foreman got past 3 rounds vs Tyson then Foreman would have KO'd Tyson.

George Foreman was and still is a freak, his power is indescribable, his chin was better than Tyson's or Ali's. Tyson is not going to knock out George Foreman. Ron Lyle knocked Goerge Foreman down 3 times for 5 and 6 counts, once for an 8 count, and staggered him another half dozen times. ANY OTHER FIGHTER BESIDES FOREMAN would have been knocked cold by Lyle's shots.

Mike Tyson didn't hit as hard as people like to think. Larry Holmes said that EARNIE SHAVERS HIT MUCH HARDER THAN TYSON, that when Shavers hit him and knocked him down it was "like those old time flash bulb cameras, all I saw was this bright white flash and I don't remember anything until the ref was saying "Five! Six!".

But Holmes said Tyson's power came mostly from his incredible hand-speed, that it was more the surprise of the shot than the sheer brute force of the shot that Tyson benefited from. Foreman's left jab is about 20 times more powerful than Tyson's left jab. George Foreman staggered Evander Holyfield with a single left jab in their fight.

ANY George Foreman 1973 or 1991 IS THE WRONG STYLE MATCH-UP for Mike Tyson the Midget.

There's the big point though: Earnie Shavers' punch couldn't stop Holmes, but Tyson battered him around the ring and knocked him out cold in 4 rounds.

Tyson didn't have the raw strength of Shavers or Foreman, that's true, but he was a MUCH better puncher than those guys, because he had the speed and the combinations.

So is Tyson's punch as hard as Shavers, Foreman, or Lyle, when you're looking at one punch? Maybe not, but Tyson hits you with 2 or 3 punches in the time it takes those three to hit you with one punch. Tyson's speed and timing also means he's hitting you with punches that you don't see coming. It's like Manny Pacquaio: it's not that he was the heaviest handed guy in the division, but guys get hit with punches they don't see coming and they go down.

Tyson's power could knock out Foreman, especially an old slow one at that.

What of Foreman's power? How would Tyson handle that?

If Morrison could, why not Tyson?

Anyone caught with Foreman's power at that age deserves to be knocked out.

So let's say this fight goes at least 8 rounds....Would Foreman hurt Tyson? Would he knock Tyson down? I mean he rocked the shit out of Holyfield and obviously Evander had a great chin....but if he rocked Tyson and Mike staggered a bit and Foreman threw with ill intentions what would happen?
