Say what you want about Moore but he still pulled a win over Holyfeild a guy that Tyson could not go 12 rounds with but a old Foreman could. Funny a man that way past his prime doing better then a much younger Tyson did and dont take my word for it ask Holyfeild. I am so sick of you saying Tyson could do this and that but he never did so what that tell you.

Tyson at 37 could not beat Danny Williams or Kevin McBride....
Morrison beats either prime for prime...
BTW Jimmy Young was a good boxer who had a draw with Shavers, holds a win over Lyle, went 15rds with Ali, and was only KO'd twice once when past his prime against Cooney and once against a young murderous Shavers....
The more you go on about this the less you show that you are basing your opp on boxing knowledge and more on just being a fan

Really do not want to compare fighters against different fighter, Lyle started it.
Moorer beat an injured Holyfield as he proved in their rematch, so he was lucky to become a champion. Moorer chin was weak and as Tua proved can be KO'ed quickly.
IMO Prime Tyson beats prime Foreman.

I am not going to argue the point with you...You are not the only person I have ever heard say that....and do not get me wrong it is possible...I would bet on George...
I was just making the point that a loss to Young does not mean anything...Young was a good fighter and fought very good comp in an era where the Journeymen were the equivelant of many of todays champions...and Tyson lost to much worse...other then that it just comes down to one of those...we will never know type situations,,,

Thanks for the compromise and I did not want to sound like a Tyson nut hugger but I remember those early fights where these heavyweights would throw big wild punches at Tyson and he would bob and weave and not get hit and then counter with the big left hooks and KO the big heavyweights, which is how I see the fight. I am sure Foreman would have take many of the blows but the accumulation and the speed of them would eventually tell in my mind. But who really knows? But it would be one of the most exciting fights of all time.

I consider a prime or better refined Foreman the 'comeback' version.That Tyson fight was Bantered about .....I remember after Foreman No-Mased Cooper he was going to each side of the ring starting a chant ..."Tyson,Tyson..We want money, I mean We want Tyson"
I actually believe at a point in his comeback he would have beaten Tyson....By TKO.Physically a great battle,Mentally No Contest!

You are wrong a prime Foreman was in the 70's and Tyson fought and beat a much more dangerous fighter in Rudduck during that time period.

I'll go for Soney Liston,a young Foreman and a prime Tyson,was intresting watching fighters go into there shell against RJJ aswell after a couple of rounds they were just stiffs,after they taste his power and speed could class that as feared I suppose.........
Did or did not Michael Moorer beat Evander Holyfield? Mike Tyson couldn't pull that off, he couldn't even go the distance....an over 40 Foreman could though....amazing isn't it.
There is a reason Morrison beat the old Foreman it's because Morrison BOXED him...had Tommy chosen to brawl he would have be knocked the fuck out like the 68 other guys who tried it.
Donovan Rudduck was inconsistant which is why he never won a title...and he was more dangerous than Ron Lyle, Ken Norton, Joe Frazier, George Chuvalo, or an undefeated Michael Moorer.....Moorer was 35(30 KO)-0-0 and had just beaten Evander Holyfield when Foreman fought him, Foreman being 45 years old at the time....but no you're right Mike Tyson beating Donovan Rudduck was much more impressive
