Who was more terrifying Mike Tyson or George Foreman?

I think it was more a case of would you rather have your head ripped off a la Mike Tyson or would you rather look at your silent and frightening to tombstone a la George Foreman

At their primes they BOTH were intimidating. But NO ONE- aside from Ali- wanted to fight Foreman. NO ONE. People knew they could lose fighting Tyson, but post-Tucker, people felt as if they could have survived the encounter. Not so with Foreman. It was sudden death. And most of them knew it. Ali was afraid too, but Ali's sheer will put him over the top and his experience with beating Liston gave him that notion that BOXING could beat BRUTE FORCE at any time in the ring.

This is why Ali was and still is THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!

]I agree with 99% of that about Muhammad Ali I mean. Ali won that fight with Foreman because he was allowed to get away with pushing down Foreman's head, leaning on his neck dozens of times per round, and grabbing incessantly. Also and pastimes fights would have been stopped if a fighter just laid on the ropes like a bum and took hundreds of shots to the kidneys. Those fights would have been stopped. Ali had blood in his urine for three and a half weeks after that fight and had a contused kidney and a partially perforated spleen. If that's called winning than I am a monkey's uncle.

The referee didn't do George Foreman any favors that night either. And if you look those ropes were a little bit loose which really helped Ali lean back a good three feet into the first row of Spectators while keeping his feet planted on the canvas. Very hard to hit that Target.

Forman was the only person who all he did not give a rematch to either by the way. I would say George Foreman wisdom more terrifying between foreman and Tyson

George Foreman could still knock out half of the boxers

Anyone who lifted Joe Frazier clean off his feet, twice, would have made mincemeat out of Tyson, styles make fights.

Great point. We all know the story in 1989 about how they were trying to make a fight between Tyson and Foreman who is still on his way up in his second career and Tyson apparently flipped out and got up from the table and said " I will not fight that maniac!"

Still stand by Holyfeild being the scariest person the man feared nothing and could be having a heart attack in the ring and keep fighting. Not mention he thought god empowered him to beat the shit out of people that is scary. There is a reason why scary guys fear crazy people guys like Ali and Holyfield throw Tyson and Foreman off because Ali and Holyfeild thought they were the chosen ones who were blessed by god you know crazy fuckers. Now Tyson and Foreman might scare everyday people more but when came to them Ali and Holyfeild probable put more fear in Tyson and Foreman then most not to mention once they were in ring with them because they take everything they had and kept going.
