Was Tyson scared of Bowe and Foreman?
Based solely on the title (above) of this thread, I'd say that as a shrink, I never had Tyson on my couch to get inside his head. On the other hand, I can see him being scared of the two in combination...

Here is Bowe's reason why the fight with Tyson never happened (at 10.11):

I'm not sure about the Foreman fight but I'm not sure its as black and white as him being scared because of what Cus had said.

**** himself? seriously? if he could be that intmidated by a man, any man. he would never have been world champion to begin with. to get to that point you have to fight countless "scary" guys, the idea that someone would box for years and reach the pinnacle of the sport only to start getting scared of fighting all of a sudden is absurd.
promoters and managers avoid certain fights, not the fighters themselves. tyson could draw massive crowds and make ridiculous ppv sales against tomato cans, why would his ppl risk all that future income by putting him in against guys like bowe or foreman? boxing politics 101.

The real problem with making Tyson-Foreman was that George didn't want to do any business with Don King. I'm not saying he didn't have good reasons for that, but that issue was a non starter.
