    Tyson would have not allowed that to happen. therefore it is up to the opponents to work out a way to beat that style. That was something they could not do for 10 years and near record defenses.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    very true

    he managed to cheat his way to the title and then 10 years of defences

    but the amazing thing is people praise that, the mind boggles

    anyway fury did very well, im delighted that he won the fight and I hope he knocks him out next time

    I think people are confusing the the two versions of Foreman.

    The first was clumsy and wild swinging powerhouse. The second was more measured better footwork, strong but less energy.

    Foreman also got dropped and hurt plenty in the 70's by much lighter fighters than Klitschko.

    Dropped and hurt by Ron The Beast Lyle is all. Came back and nearly committed a homicide in the ring.

    He got wobbled by a skinny white bloke in the 5 man tournament, dropped by Jimmy Young and knocked out by Ali!

    Getting hurt or dropped does not detract from a Fighter's greatness. But getting smoked and Sparked by lamon Brewster Corey Sanders and some other guy certainly does detract from any kind of greatness a fighter may be suspected to have
