George Foreman : Overrated?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

If I'm not mistaken wasn't there serious talk of making the fight happen at one point? Can't remember for sure, but I was thinking that after he beat Mathis or Bruno there was serious consideration for a Foreman bout. Furthermore I was thinking it was scrapped because of the $$$$ not being right for one side or the other.

I could be wrong tho'.

Yeah, I almost remember them talking about how the fight was almost made, but I can't really remember. Your right, it had to be the negotiations that fell through. Since Tyson is always the main attraction, I'll bet it was Foremans side that wanted more money, didn't get it and said forget it then.

It's hard to tell in todays circus of promoters, managers, HBO and Showtime. There seems to be an infinite list of things that can derail a fight these days.

You bring a new meaning to the phrase: "You can learn a lot from a dummy". LOL

Hilarious how you say Mike Tyson is the greatest heavyweight ever and then tell me to watch more boxing.

CASE IN POINT! LOL you are a dummy because I never said he was the greatest. I think everyone here knows what kind of crap comes out of your mouth. And I didn't say go watch more boxing. LOL

Duh, "you're a dummy cause you don't agree with me" What are you about 8 years old? I don't have the patience (or the stomach) to dig up your old posts.

I would have to be 8 years old to agree with you. LOL Can't make no good points because you don't know **** about boxing. You think with pure emotions, which shows how weak you are and that I'm getting to you. LOL Your fun to play with.

Back to the topic...where do you rate Foreman, and why do you rate him there?

[Hawkins]

OOPS! Duplicate LOL

I'll just say I'm not sure why I rated him so high. I guess its suffice to say I just follow trends because I'm a trendy type of guy. LOL

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

If we rate by who we thought would win against each other in their primes, I would put Foreman at #4.

You're the moron that stooped to insulting me because I didn't agree with you. You think Tyson is GOD and that shows how little you know about boxing. Maybe some day.... hopefully this site will help. This thread is about George Foreman, not Mike Tyson, and certainly not about insulting me. A young Foreman and Liston OWN any age Mike Tyson, deal with it.
