Foreman vs. Tyson

[The Surgeon]

I feel like that with Tyson aswell but Foremans the 1 guy in history i see destroyiny mike early!

Actually **** THAT! I can see Tyson using his speed, bouncing in and out and slippin Foremans wild bombs to counter with quick combos!

I dont know if anyone mentioned this, but when Foreman was making his comeback Don King tried making this matchup. Tyson wanted nothing to do with it. Tyson is a professor when it comes to the sweet science and knows that styles make fights. He knew that Foreman would have beat him.

Tyson is smarter than his fans.

only way tyson would drop a foreman in my eyes is by being tired.

Foreman and easily. Tyson struggled against nearly every big fighter he fought and wasn't intimidated by him. Foreman would not be at all intimidated and Tyson would be lost after 2 rounds.

Let's say these 2 met, both fighters still in the prime of their career. Who do you think would win and why?

I lean towards Foreman because styles make fights. Mike, I think, had a better chin than George; but didn't hit as hard with each blow. However, Mike was very accurate with his shots, so I can see him dropping Foreman early on. George would lose the early rounds because Mike would slip his amateurish swipes and counter effectively. However, eventually, George would start muscling Mike to the ropes and forcing his will upon Mike, wrestling him around, pushing him back, and roughing the **** out of him. Mike, as I've stated on other threads, wasn't really a proactive fighter when his opponent was, so if George firmly established that he's the boss, that he's the dominant alpha male, Mike would submit and his activity level would drop and he'd eventually end up in a survival mode......and be stopped by TKO probably around the 6th or 7th.

Of course, there is the possibility of one of Geroge's monster uppercuts doing the job earlier; but I'll give Mike the benefit of the doubt.
