    Ali would just play with him from start to finish and embarrass him. A frustrated Tyson would lose via DQ or pulled out by his corner late on.
    In a sense I agree, but I question------ you think Tyson would get frustrated with his family (team) of Rooney, Giachetti & D'Amato still alive-- and not rise above it? That is where my theory begins. With those guys, he pulled through to which is why I quoted the Rooney bid in-between rounds....He did get Frustrate MTKO. Difference is, they pulled him through it.

    Just a theory and opinion.

    Versus George Foreman that is. Aint no pulling through against the Louisville Lip.

    Maybe he'd have a better chance of pulling through with those guys in his corner. But the opponents then weren't Big George.

    Prime George was too slow and ponderous for a prime Tyson. However George had a tremendous chin and may have taken the punishment and knockdowns to come back at Tyson. If that happened then Mike may quit by any means he could.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
