Did Buster Douglas Really Beat Mike Tyson??

[catskills23]

tyson certainly did have flaws at his peak, but i think he gets critisized too much for what happened when he was past his prime.

tyson was 8 years past his prime in the holyfield fight

in comparsion

holyfield was only 2-3 years past his prime

werent you the guy who said that prime tyson wasent even in the top 50 hardest hitting heavyweights of all time .

No, that was another Ali ****sucker.

[Heckler]

Ofcource you know don't you smasher? I mean you've worked with Tyson for years and he told you everything about him right? Get real.


Tyson being scared of Foreman cannot be proven, none of you knew Tyson personal so don't talk ****. That tommyhearns guy is a ****** ass ***** who loves talking **** about Tyson on the net.


Tyson KO3 Old ass Foreman. Horrible beating a la old Holmes.

While we were eating, Benton said, "Bobby, what's up with Foreman and Tyson, how come they're not fighting each other on the 16th? Isn't that the fight that King was trying to make?" He said, "Georgie, You'll never believe this but, ****in' Tyson is scared **** less of Foreman and wants no part of him. I was there when Don was trying to make the fight. He was telling Tyson that Foreman represented huge money, plus he was old and slow and would be no problem. Tyson got up and screamed at King saying, 'I'm not fight in' that ****in' animal, if you love the mother****er so much, you fight him!'" -

Its widely known that Tyson was not just scared of fighting Foreman, but ****en horrified at the thought. And its quite easily to understand when you take into account Tyson was
essentially a boxing historian with knowledge passed to him by Cus. And Tyson destroying homes is no more relevant to a Foreman-Tyson fight then Frazier-Foreman was to a Ali-Foreman fight. STYLES MAKE FIGHTS.

You really don't know **** about Tyson do you. BOXREC BOXREC!!! You ****ing idiot. Its like your fav site.

Oh yeah, one other thing. Tyson's 27 fight pre-title opposition?

268 CAREER KO LOSSES





THE MYTH IS EXPOSED!

[SuzieQ49]

smasher, funny how you like to critisize tyson for his pre title competition considering george foreman had one of the most padded records pre title of all time.

- considering foremans big time experience in amatuers, he fought horrible pre title competition. the only guy foreman beat who was in the top 10 was george chuvalo.


look at some of the guys foreman beat pre title


chuck wepner- probably the worst fighter to ever challenge for the heavyweight crown. he was HORRIBLE. the only thing wepner had was size and heart.

gregorio peralta- one of the best guys foreman beat pre title, and thats not saying much. peralta also gave foreman fits losing a close decision in the first one. peralta was a very good underated fighter at LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT, but peralta never did anything at heavyweight.


george scrapiron johnson
james J woody
charley polite
levi forte
mel turnbow
boone kirkman
roger russell
lou bailey
charlie boston
leroy caldwell
bob hazelton
roy wallace
jack o halleran
gary hobo wiler
rufus brassell

i mean are u kidding me? a very expereinced amatuer taking on these guys??

even though foreman was 37-0 before he fought joe, only ONE of his wins were against a top 10 contender. for a amatuer experienced gold medalist, thats horrible competition to be taking on pre title. NO EXUSES, this should be held against foreman.


prior to fighting frazier of the title, these were his last 5 fights



KO 2 terry sorrell- 4-14 tomatoe can bum
KO 2 miguel angel paez-
KO 2 Ted Gullick- 15-5 journeyman
KO 2 clarence boone- 4-18 complete bum
KO 2 joe murphy goodwin- 0-14. THATS PATHETIC

THESE WERE ALL OF FOREMANS FIGHTS IN 1972......

and ur telling me foreman got a title shot by beating these bums and tomatoe cans?

thats ridiculous! instead of taking on a jerry quarry in 72, he elects to fight these bumms!

[SuzieQ49]

mike tyson is a lot more devastating and brings a lot more to the table than a overweight past his prime joe frazier.

i might add when we compare this matchup, were comparing peak, motivated, tyson vs foreman. so tyson being scared doesnt have anything to do with foreman since a peak ready tyson doesnt even know foreman, this is them at the peak mentally and physically. what cus says has no bearing on fantasy matchups.

- funny how foreman fans try to convince themselves a 1990s foreman would beat a prime mike tyson to make there hero look better than the fat slob who lost to alex stewart, tommy morrison, axel shulz.


didnt washed up short fat dwight qawi pressure foreman and also give foreman trouble?

[SuzieQ49]

prime foreman vs prime tyson- goes either way



1990s foreman vs prime 1980s tyson- tyson by devastating early KO

TYSON WOULD LOOK LIKE A FRIGHTENED CHILD COMPARED TO BIG GEORGE FOREMAN...DOWN GOES TYSON, DOWN GOES TYSON, DOWN GOES TYSON!!!!!!!!
