Fun little exchange of words and a humble Foreman.

Foreman self admits to not wanting the fight as long as King was involved and refused to SIGHN any contract after 1989 ....so when and what year was Tyson declining these offers? Foreman went on to fight Mike Jameson like opposition the entie time prior to Holyfield !

Mike Tyson would have put any version of Foreman to sleep tho

Foreman had the great equalizer, but I'm not sure I would want to see Tyson fight the old version. Might have been really sad to watch.

Any version of Foreman from the late 80s through the 90s would lose but put a prime, Frazier killing Foreman in the ring with Tyson and Iron Mike won't be so tough.

Tyson probably didn't want to have to beat an icon. He is a boxing history buff.

Foreman by tko

Foreman at any age would've smashed Mike. One thing about Mike we know is he couldn't take a punch, and he would have had to take a few especially from that jab. In all honesty I can't remember him beating anyone that wasn't terrified in there. Everyone who had a true self belief not only beat him but knocked him out.

Late era Foreman wouldn't have been more successful with Tyson than Holmes was.
