Originally posted by Scott9945 View PostI guess we interpret things differently. Sounded to me like Foreman didn't want to fight for Don King. He said that he would take a meager deposit from Bob Arum, which is fine if he were actually Tyson's promoter. I remember quite well Foreman saying many times during that period that he wasn't going to fight for Don King.

Bottom line is that Mike Tyson was FAR too Fast and vicious for a slow stationary guy of George's age. As Strong and hard hitting as Foreman was even at that point i think Tyson just slips his shots (easily) and swamps him with violent combinations.
Young Foreman? Different Fight...

Originally posted by Scott9945 View PostWell I agree that Foreman definitely did want the fight. Just without King being involved. Similar to how a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would have probably been made if Arum wasn't Manny's promoter. Both are cases of fighters holding grudges against their ex-promoters.
