Did Buster Douglas Really Beat Mike Tyson??

[smasher]

favor tysons short straight blows over foremans wide loops.

Tyson's punches are straight? That's ****ing hilarious!!

[SuzieQ49]

remememer that last left hook tyson nailed trevor berbick with? it was straight as an arrow. or the first right hand which knocked holmes down, lightning fast and straight. those kinds of punches would have got inside foremans long slow loops

foreman would walk through tyson's punches just like holyfield did.

foreman would walk through tyson's punches just like holyfield did.

Or like he did against Lyle? And Holyfield didn't walk through Tyson's punches, everytime he got hit cleanly, he was rocked like crazy.

Anyway, Foreman's punches are in slow motion so he would be KO'd. Thats a dam fact

No way, Tyson's a swarmer. Suicide.

tyson was far past his prime, coming off a 4 year layoff.


how bout ur HERO muhammad ali, was he past his prime after the 3 year layoff?

[SuzieQ49]

tyson was better than the 10lb overweight over the hill version of joe frazier that george foreman fought. tyson was faster, bigger, stronger, better defense, greater puncher, than joe frazier.

foreman was too slow for tyson, and foreman did not have good defense.

Yes Ali was past his prime but his opponent Joe Frazier didn't need medical clearance from the Mayo clinic to get approval to fight like Holyfield did. Nor was Frazier approaching 34 years of age nor was he 4 years older than Ali like Holyfield was, nor was Frazier coming off a KO loss and decision loss in his last 2 title fights nor was Frazier coming off an inability to hurt, floor or KO a bloated middleweight like Holyfield was. Ali was not fighting an 18-1 underdog and Ali also avenged his loss to Frazier twice something Tyson was never able to do once against any opponent who beat him. Nor was Ali KO'd by Frazier like Tyson was against Holyfield, 1 of only 2 KO's Holyfield scored in 13 years. Oh yeah and Ali was still heavyweight champion 7 years after FOTC.

Give it up Tyson lovers. At what point does the ****in' light bulb come on.

Cus D'Amato said no swarmer could ever beat Foreman.

Angelo Dundee said a 90's version of Foreman would KO Tyson.

D'Amato, Dundee> SuzieQ49, Yaman.

Sorry children, the jig is up wake up and smell the coffee.

- tysons MUCH FASTER, shorter punches would get inside foremans long loops and punish him. tyson would be beating foreman to the punch every second. tysons combinations would tear apart foreman.

I am a big Tyson fan, but after seeing what Foreman did to Frazier (similarly built to Tyson, and similar in styles as well) I think Big George KO's any version of Iron Mike. Just keeping it real. I think Tyson would beat Liston though, and probably a few of the others on that list. I think if you were to beat the George Foreman that Ali beat you would need to be a master class boxer, and that Mike was not.

My Top 5 HW's of all time

1. Louis
2. Ali
3. Foreman
4. Tyson
5. Frazier
