    How old was Foreman when he last won the Heavyweight title?

    Tyson was awesome early in his career, but showed little resolve as a fighter and a person when things started to go bad for him.

        Tyson could have made top 10 all time if Cuss had lived untill today, he was just about the only one who could control tyson.

          Potential

          Tyson had the potential to be regarded as one of the best heavyweights of all time but sadly for him and all that watched him, due to tysons personal demons he failed to live up to the potential.

          I put him n my top 10 heavyweights of all time, but near the end of the list. Ali,foreman,holmes,marciano,louis etc all naturally wud be ahead of him.

          Im not sure he could of beaten a prime george foreman though. U saw what he did to smokin joe and joe was heavyweight champ at the time havin beatin ali.

          I think he beats frazier due to his incredible head movement and footwork, but it would b a hell of a fight.

              I rank Tyson about 10th all time. But even if Cus had lived, Tyson wasn't mentally wired for longevity. You've either got it, or you don't. He had problems while Cus was alive with most being swept under the carpet. With D'amato here or gone, it was only a matter of time.

                If you don't think it is even arguable that Louis was the greatest heavyweight ever maybe you should STFU.

                  I don't put Tyson top 10 HW off all time, much less P4P.

                  Ali
                  Joe Lewis
                  Jack johnson
                  Holyfield
                  Frazier
                  Holmes
                  Foreman
                  Lennox Lewis
                  Liston
                  Marciano

                  all better over their entire career than Tyson over his, Tyson's flame burnt hot but was extinguished very quickly too.

                      You're an idiot. Have you even seen Louis fight?

                      But yes, I also rank Ali ahead of him, nobody else at HW though.
