    Neither of them would run from Wlad for 12 rounds, win or lose.

    So there's that.

        Foreman. Tyson only started doing the big stare when he was on the slide. He was faking.
        Foreman always meant it.

          Obviously Tyson will scare the **** out of say a normal college kid, but say you are a 6'5 6'6 heavyweight 240+ muscles and skills like say a Rid**** Bowe.

          Does a 5'10 Tyson still scare you now?
          Doubtful.
          If I had Bowe talent and was 6'4-6'6 I won't be scared of any 5'10 crazie no matter how hard he punches.
          But I still might be a bit intimidated by someone of my size like a 6'4-6'5 Foreman
          Trouble is, the little Tyson took big guys heads off. So its not about how tall he is, its about what the short arse is capable of.
          Big George was ****ing scary, but im sure many fighters would of believed they could easily out box the mummy. Tysons size and speed would give big men real trouble.

            Foreman wins the stare down, but gets KO'd. He didn't have the speed to deal with Tyson.

              This debate could go either way. The thing is Tyson was tailor made for a Young George. Even a Old George scared the **** out of Tyson's promoters. Much less a young super George.

              Tyson is a brawler swamper. Young George take apart Brawler swampers.

              That being said Prime Olivier Mccall TKO both Prime Tyson and Prime George Foreman.
              Prime Olivier Mccall is the most deadly heavyweight in the history of boxing. Prime Mccall that is. Prime Mccall will TKO2 Vitali as well and destroy Wlad.

                  Tyson's a mental midget. Foreman would stare him into Bolivian.

                    thats one of the biggest myths in boxing. young tyson wasnt mentally weak, he was no frazier or ali but he wasnt a mental midget either. besides young foreman had some holes in his mental game too.

                    i agree foreman would win the staredown though, why? dude was petrified of frazier before their first fight, said so himself but he still stared joe down like an assassin.

                      He was a mental midget at all times. He just had a trainer that kept it under wraps. You don't just become a mental midget, it's always there.

                      Foreman's intimidation factor>>>>>>Tyson's intimidation factor.
