Comments Thread For: George Foreman: Mike Tyson Can Really Be a Top Contender

[tritium_arma]

Foreman has gone senile.

Foreman always saying crazy shit. He's one of those people that doesn't want to offend anyone even if it makes him look off his head.

every time foreman speaks he surpasses the idiotic things he has said before.
Let’s not forget even though Tyson was a monster in his prime he was well and truly beaten by Danny Williams and Kevin Mcbride of all boxers.
He is 54 years of age in June ffs and foreman is basing that statement on a 5 second twitter video of him working the pads.....the mind boggles

Big George can say sum great things but then also sum crazy things. He likes to be contrary sometimes regardless, and sometimes he just likes to back up a comment to the moon. He never really goes into detail, he just agrees or disagrees then smiles at the camera. Mike has always looked great beating a bag or sum mitts. But most of his attack sequences are moves he cycles through over and over, not organic counter punching. Tyson came in moving his head to make himself harder to hit, but that’s not the same as moving in reaction to a punch coming, like James Toney. Don’t get me wrong he steps to the side, ducks, goes up and down, but it’s proactive not reactive.

exactly throwing those kind of combinations for Tyson is bread & butter for him he and would look like that at 70...it’s programmed.
We all know the faults of Tyson even before he left the boxing world and those faults will never be corrected.
Bare knuckle or exhibition 3 rounds he could do damage but in the ring with the top fighters he would get hurt in there.

Green K sent, that’s as good as it can be said.

First you say if anyone can say it foreman can but then dismiss any chance if him winning?

Andy Ruiz beat AJ. Andy Ruiz. Regardless if it was a lucky shot to the temple, you don't think Tyson could walk AJ down and throw combos like Ruiz did and knock AJ out?

Fighting is all they know in their heart, it's their desire, their spirit, their will to be. Just like a 42 year old tom brady, or jerry rice or any athelete not knowing when to quit... And thats the point. Average people quit. These breeds of people don't know what that means... Except if you're AJ and quit in the corner after being knocked down 4 times to a fill in chubby guy.

Alright. Foreman won the heavyweight at 45. And was still knocking out solid competition at 48.

But you think the sanctioning bodies will give Tyson a title shot against AJ?
Eddie Hearn maybe will not risk AJ to even a 53yo Tyson.
Plus what makes you think AJ will not box Tyson like he boxed Ruiz in their 2nd fight?

You can't walk AJ down. Ruiz tried that.
You need to cut off the ring and be really good at it too...

Yeah, I agree. AJ's 'win' against Ruiz is shameful. Running, not boxing...
