    George Foreman: Tyson ducked me because he was scared, and I was relieved

    This is why Foreman should have been Tyson's exhibition opponent, especially since the outcome doesn't matter.

    I don’t buy that and I’m not one of those Tyson fanboys. I think Tyson is vastly overrated. But Foreman is a huge target that’s slow. And he would’ve been old at the time too. The perfect opponent for a big punching, fast, and explosive Tyson.

      Old Foreman went the distance with Shannon Briggs, Tommy Morrison, and Evander Holyfield plus knocked out Moorer.

      Even into his 40s, you weren't knocking out Big George with pure brute force.

          Don't forget Holmes, who called George a phony!

            I said he matches up. I never said anything about knocking anybody out. And for the record I’d take Mike’s power over any of those other dudes.

              80s Mike definitely had better power than those guys.

              90s Mike? No way, no how.

                Foreman would say anything these days.
