Would George Foreman taken out Tyson the same way he did Joe Frazier and Kenny Norton

[Elroy1]

Tyson would have punched the living **** out of Foreman.

Tyson would have knocked the **** out of 70's Foreman in short order.

Beyond any doubt.

Anything to the contrary is of the EXTREME nut bag persuasion.

Case closed

[Luilun]

Tyson was essentially very similar to Joe Frazier just much faster and more double handed, would Foreman have just walked him down and taken him out in the same fashion??

Which Tyson 1990 and under version or the 1991 and after ?The 1991 and after gets lifted off the floor like Fraizer the 1990 Tyson stops big George

I think he grinds Mike down late after weathering the inevitable early storm.

I don't think so.

Foreman threw round house punches from the outside Tyson threw short compact power punches thus making Tyson able to connect first.


Plus, Tyson was a master of closing the gap against taller fighter's taking their range of punching distance /power away from them thus making their power shots useless an ineffective. Foreman almost throw all of his punches exclusively from the outside needing range and distance therefore you can do the math here.

Let's not forget Tyson's hand speed, nor forget Tyson's inside fighting ability BOTH things of which Foreman lacked compared to Tyson.

Styles make fights and this is exactly how I think Foreman and Tyson's styles would mesh.

Frazier and Norton worked their way inside. Frazier was short and he shuffled in underneath his opponents punches. Foreman's style negated that because he threw huge punches that started low and arced their way up. Frazier couldn't get in under them and they were too hard to walk through.

Tyson was short too but he didn't work his way in close. He used feints and movement to create openings then jumped in fast behind his punches. He was more mobile than Frazier and could wrong foot opponents and attack from either side, rather than just coming straight at them.

Tyson could also equal Foreman's one punch power, Frazier and Norton couldn't.

I cant see Tyson winning this fight to be honest.

Foreman is probably the strongest elite fighter ever, Tyson would be shoved off if he tried to get close, once hes on the back foot Foreman beats him up.

Tyson has a punchers chance against anybody, but this is a bad style match up for him, same as it was for Frazier.

Not even Cus D'Amato would back Mike for this one.

[Ham Porter]

Tyson was a great inside fighter much better than Frazier with his wide telegraphed hooks, his defence was his offence that head movement and footwork to get inside. Tyson wasn't a mid-range fighter. Nobody obliterated fighters like Tyson did.

Log the **** off, son.
