Did Buster Douglas Really Beat Mike Tyson??

[SuzieQ49]

Cus D'Amato used to show a young Tyson the film of Foreman destroying Frazier and told Mike that NO SWARMING HEAVYWEIGHT COULD EVER BEAT FOREMAN.

even the great cus D amato is wrong sometimes. he doesnt realize how good mike is.

Foreman knew he could beat Tyson and Tyson knew it to and was "scared ****less of Foreman".

i hope ur not implying a 1990s far past his prime foreman could beat a peak mike tyson?


- a 1972-74 foreman was a deadly machine, there was no one like him. but the 1990s foreman was a joke who couldnt even beat alex stewart, tommy morrison, and axel shulz yet hes gonna beat a peak mike tyson?


peak foreman u can defintley make a case, but i favor tyson


- smasher i dont know if u believe this, but joe frazier was 10lb overweight and past his prime when he fought foreman. frazier also fought totally different from tyson and tyson brings a lot more to the table than frazier does

[SuzieQ49]

yeah, i was gonna say the same thing, but you beat me to it, smasher.

tyson would get murdered by foreman and liston, their styles would matchup badly for tyson, plain and simple.

put a lid on it. the only reason u pick these guys in every fantasy matchup is because they fought ali.

i hope ur not implying a 1990s fat ass far past his prime foreman could beat a peak mike tyson?

I'm not implying it I'm telling you. Read the article before challenging me. Read what Tyson and Bobby Goodman said about a 1991 showdown between Foreman and Tyson.

everyone says that foreman would tear into tyson. THIS IS A FACT! why do you think tyson ducked foreman? cause he knew he would lose! and liston i believe would beat him as well, since his power is close to foreman's and he's a better boxer with a longer reach.

There is no proof that he was scared of Foreman. He would dominate Foreman every second of the round. Foreman of the 90s was a fat slow power puncher. No dissrespect to Foreman though. The early 70s Foreman had a way better shot.

SuzieQ49, don't respond to the biased Ali fan.

you don't know that. foreman could still hit harder and he was a better boxer. he was a smart fighter. ok, maybe tyson had a shot at a 40+ year old foreman, but tyson was still scared of him, so you know foreman would have had a very good chance. definetely if he was the tiger who pulverized frazier back in '73, he would crush tyson.

and what does this have to do with ali?

The 1990 Buster Douglas was a joke who couldn't even beat David Bey KO'd, Stefan Tangstad, Mike White KO'd, Jesse Ferguson, and Tony Tucker KO'd before handing Mike Tyson his ass on a ****in' silver platter with a side order of **** kicking. Oh and let's not forget the fact that Douglas suffered a 3rd round 1 punch KO at the hands of the relatively average hitting Holyfield in his next fight. How good was Buster Douglas?

Oh yeah and apparently Tyson was messed up and past his prime in the Douglas fight right? Well then that was the version that would have faced in Foreman in 1991. The Foreman of Cooney/Rodrigues/Holyfield stops Tyson.

Holyfield said Foreman was much stronger and hit harder than Tyson. Then again what the **** would Holyfield know,he was only in the ring for a combined 24 rounds with both men...

40 year old Foreman is ****. You don't seem to understand. He barely beat Alex Steward and Tyson destroyed Steward in 1 round. Foreman was just way too slow. If you're slow, how are you gonna knock out a fast power puncher like Tyson who keeps coming after you with combo's? And Tyson had a very good chin. No way you're gonna knock him out with a few punches. Foreman was hurt plenty of times in the 90s and Tyson would hurt him.

Only thing you can say is he was scared of Foreman so he would loose. Thats only a statement, its not prooven.
