Foreman > Tyson......FACT
Foreman demolished an all time great in his prime in Joe Frazier...did Tyson ever beat an all time great in his prime? No he beat a faded Larry Holmes and then went on to refuse to fight Foreman in the 1990's.

Mike was unfortunate enough that when he ruled he was so far ahead of everyone else skill wise that he had no great match ups. Unlike the 70's where it was a merry go round that could have added more gloss to otherwise mediocre opponents. The seventies lived off Alis mouth.
Mike would have been avoided like the plague had he emerged during the seventies. For a start Ali went life and death with someone who wasnt as quick, didnt hit as hard, took way more shots, didnt have as good a chin and so on. Norton would have shit his pants at the mention of a contract. Leon Spinks wouldnt be as keen to take the fight as early in his career and Foreman would have been left swinging for thin air while eating shots as he did against Lyle.
