  • Prime George Foreman vs Prime Mike Tyson.

    The Foreman who defeated Joe Frazier vs. the Tyson who defeated Holmes and Spinks. I picked Foreman via KO in the 6th round. Tyson might be faster and better defensively than Frazier, but Foreman is just bigger and the harder puncher.

    Tyson explodes on him and overwhelms him.

      Big George wears him down.

      Only Ali was able to stop Foreman, and that was simply by wearing him down physically and mentally.

      Nobody stopped George with pure power. Not Joe Frazier, Ron Lyle, or Ken Norton in his prime and not Michael Moorer, Evander Holyfield, Shannon Briggs, or Tommy Morrison when he was old.

      Foreman would weather Tyson's early storm and stop him in the mid to late rounds. Foreman had the better power, the better chin, the better stamina, and the better heart.

          Foreman early. Would inevitably be a shootout but I got Big George all day.

            Interesting fight, but people always hark back to Frazier to see how Foreman deals with shorter bobbing weaving types. But you can alway look how often an easy an old very fat Qawi landed shot after shot on Foreman while taking very little on return before he totally gased. I think the prime Mike, the guy of the Tucker fight, outboxes Foreman.

              Foreman in 2 rounds, at his best he would have destroyed Tyson. He would be the one doing the intimidating and would have bounced Mike even easier than he did Smokin Joe.

                Hell I think OLD (1991-94) Foreman defeats prime Tyson. By that point he’d upped his MENTAL game which is something Mike, who is a constant nervous wreck, never had.

                  I might add the mental component is a huge reason why Mike lost period. Sure Vander had his headbutts and Lennox is an ATG and those other scrubbs Douglas, etc had their victories but the truth is, Mike did himself no favors by not believing in himself and being a mental midget.

                    If Mike had truly believed in himself as much as he boasted then he could’ve moved mountains in that ring and been an ATG like Ali. No disrespect intended to Mike but it’s obvious his weakness was not his physical accomplishments.
