George foreman was not overated the article sucks
Here is a great article on George Foreman.

You should look at this before passing any judgments.
George almost beat a prime Evander Holyfield. So if a old George can give Evander problems think what a prime Foreman would do to fighters such as Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe. :boxing:
I am not racist you better get your facts straight
Here is a better question.Why in the fuk would anybody be so stupid to ask if Foreman is a top 10 all time heavyweight great?Here is a even better one.Why would any moron say Marciano is a top 10 heavyweight great if Marciano wasn't a heavyweight and never fought any heavyweights and the fact that Marciano was a piece of italian trash?
I bet the fool who started this post has Marciano over Foreman.And probably ever other racist white guy who responded has Marciano over Foreman.Foreman isn't just a top 10 great he is one of the best period.Foreman crushed legends.Foreman was able to become champion when he was 45 when most fighters are done at 30(People claim Ali wasn't in his prime when he fought Frazier or Norton the first time).
Foreman knocks out any slugger with ease and Foreman catches most boxers and knocks them out.There is no one style you could say Foreman would have problems with.Foreman tore through the devision in his prime like no other fighter in history.
For the retards who say Tyson is better.Tyson was pathetic.His career was basically him beating up D level fighters ducking top level fighters and being knocked out by low level fighters.For the people who say Joe Freaking Louis was better you are even a bigger jack ass than the Tyson fans.Louis had a weak chin.He wasn't fast on his feet.His punching power was only good enough to knock out the bums he fought in his career.Foreman has one of the best chins in boxing history.Great power and a great chin vs a poor chin and power only good enough to knock out a bunch of second rate white fighers...hmmmm which one would you pick?
Who else are you going to say was better than Foreman?Frazier?Ha..Frazier got his butt handed to him by Foreman 2 times so enough said.How about Dempsey?A cowardly white guy who ducked all of the black men in his time.A bum who was knocked out in one round by Jim Flynn a nobody.A guy who boxed at time when the gloves were as big as UFC fighters.Small gloves= more knock downs and knockouts.Dempsey was also small like Marciano and was unskilled.
Lennox Lewis?Give me a break the man was knocked out 2 time by one punch.His best wins came over a shot Holyfield and Tyson who as i said was a overrated bum.Lewis really did have poor stamina seeing the fact he was out of breath at least 5 plus times in his career.Larry Holmes?Larry was a good fighter but never beat anybody worth mentioning unless you call getting a gift decision over a shot Norton and beating a 40 year old Ali to be something special.Holmes chin was good but not great and Holmes was a weak puncher and pretty weak physically.
Ali?Ali's only win against a fighter in his prime was his win over Foreman.A fight Foreman fought like a idiot in.Norton crushed Ali 3 times.Frazier beat Ali when Frazier was in his prime.Shavers beat Ali and got robbed.So did Jimmy Young.Liston was more overrated than Tyson.But am i saying Foreman is better than Ali?Nope.You could find fault in Foreman as well.
Ali or Foreman.I can't see a true boxing can even mentioning anybody else as the best.But after Ali and Foreman you could name Holmes,Lewis,a prime Bowe,Norton maybe,Maybe Ron Lyle.I used to say Frazier but i have been thinking besides Ali who was probably to full of himself at the time to take Frazier seriously who did Frazier really beat?Bonavena beat Fraizer in their first fight.Quarry lost to every good fighter he ever faced.You could even say Tyson.Sure he is overrated but I have also been thinking about this.Tyson did beat some decent guys in his career.Nobody close to being great but some decent guys like Bruno,Steward ect ect ect.
Never Marciano because again the little boy was never a heavyweight or did he fight any heavyweights.Never Dempsey because even though he fought a few big guys he fought mostly guys his size and he ducked every black fighter of his time.Never Joe Louis because guys like Tyson,Foreman,Tua or any other big or decent puncher who had a decent chin would tear Louis head off.First of all I have Foreman knocking out Marciano in the the 2nd or third round. Before you start calling someone a racist you better get your facts straight. Your the fool! Also Hagler beat shit out of tommy Hearns.
A prime Mike Tyson would win against Tua. Tyson would be to hard to hit. And I know Mike Tyson got beat by Buster Douglas in his prime but Tyson did not train hard for that fight and he did knock down Douglas and I thought Buster was down longer than a ten count. "Watch the replay of the fight" :boxing:
McBride did not destroy Mike Tyson. McKay1 you spelled destroy wrong. McBride sucks Tarver would beat McBride. How would you know you can't even spell.
Yeah right mike Tyson would kill Bowe
tyson beat up on bums...look at the ppl he was fighting...bowe would have beaten him..just like holyfield and lewis did[/QUOTE
Bowe could not even beat Golota
15 rounds would be good but I would not want the fighters to fight in a outside arena. Especially if the weather is over 100 degrees. We all know what happen to Ali and Frazier.
good point
for sure...winky would pick mayorga apart. simply being a thug and a bully isnt enough when in against a supreme technician....power punches only count when you land them.Good point!
