Muhammed Ali one of (yes ONE OF) the greatest boxers ever was in his prime, seemingly unbeatable for his destruction of one Charles 'Sonny' Liston but an undefeated fighter by the name of Joe Frazier outworked him and knocked him down and that victory was seen as amazing fast forward a bit and we see a young undefeated George Foreman who just DEMOLISHED Joe Frazier knocking him down SIX TIMES.....fast forward again and we see Foreman-Norton....a Ken Norton who beat Ali by Split Decision then lost to Ali by Split Decision.....Foreman once again just blasted his a** out of the ring.


When did Mike Tyson EVER beat a PRIME All-Time Great?....he never ever did....EVER

Mike was a bully but George was a bigger bully and we all know what that means....Mike fights strong for 2-3 rounds (during his prime) and then starts eating power punches and gets dropped for 10 in round 6.

You act like Tyson's defense was just phenomenal when it wasn't....guys were afraid to let their hands go because they were afraid of a counter not because they were afraid they couldn't hit him....Frank Bruno hit him pretty good DURING HIS PRIME.
Tyson had an awsome defense. For a come foreward fighter there probably hasn't been one with a better defense except maybe Roberto Duran. Also how was George a bigger bully? He didn't punch off the break or appear half as bad ass as Tyson... The question here isn't whether Tyson could stay away from Foreman its vice virsa... Tyson is so much faster, and can hit just as hard that he would completely overwhelm Foreman, and he would find a million openings in Foreman's less than average defense.
