Prime George Foreman vs Prime Mike Tyson.

[Roadblock]

i would pick the old washed up 1990 Foreman to destroy a prime 1986 Tyson.

so don't even ask what a prime George would do to him

I would too, George was too big and would take whatever Mike hit him with and Mike would fold under big Georges thudding punches.

Mike was a front-runner and a bully against average guys, when he fought propper top guys he crumbled.

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.

I believe that Foreman then had not developed real boxing skills but relied on brute strength. And Joe Frazier was finished, by the ALi fights. He came in slow, and bending over so Foreman just uppercut him. He was asking for it and he got it. I certainly wouldn't back ANYONE to beat Tyson at his best. So I think in this make-believe fight, Tyson all the way. Foreman would have a tough time even trying to hit him cleanly or at all. Opponent's size didn't matter to Tyson, look how he always got to his man, even with a very short reach.

Alright well come back to me when your deluded fantasy becomes real and you find these sources of 'Tyson training with olympic wrestlers'. LOL.

Nobody who knows boxing would ever pick him over George Foreman. Everyone knows the latter eats up forward-only offense fighters.

Weeeelll....I certainly know boxing. My uncle was a carnival fighter, knew a sparring partner of Tommy Burns, who, when a very old man, I was introduced to him, and he gave me some old boxing gear like loosely packed 5 oz gloves, ropes , leather head gear, came down to our club to watch us train. Another uncle was a promoter.
I had a good amateur career 59-2, Used to correspond with Papp, who got a friend to write for him. I met them both at the Papp's 3rd Olympic gold. And I've been watching ever top fight for the past....I don't want to tell you how long.

I say that Foreman would hardly be able to hit Tyson, who even with a short reach could get in and demolish boxers of any height and weight, and hardly be hit. That is, until he listened to Don King and fired his dedicated manager Bill Cayton, and also his talented trainer and friend Kevin Rooney. After that, he just went through the motions, He was finished then but didn't know it. Stopped using his real skills and relied more on punching power.

Big George had one of the greatest chins of all time, great resilience and height/reach over Tyson.

Tyson was explosive, fast and spectacular head movement in his prime but he didn't have the guts Foreman did nor the chin. I think Foreman wears down and beats up Tyson, stoppage round 9.

So you're about 110 years old?

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.

Prime Tyson didn't have "an early storm" he had a 12 rd storm. And was almost impossible to hit. He only went off after he fired Kevin Rooney and Cayton, and went with King who used and destroyed him. And he had a rock solid chin until Buster Douglas put him down-after he was down himself for 14 seconds. And that was a Tyson, trained on Geisha girls, unmotivated, mentally unbalanced, life in a shambles. and much more.

Tyson would have beaten up slow Foreman, and hardly be hit himself, and never cleanly. Size didn't matter to him, and his short reach didn't stop him from getting in and fast punching like a kick from a mule.

Stop with the lie quotes dumb follower why did he beat Trevor razor and others who wasnt scared then dummy

And what do you mean to big so you mean height cause they were around the same weight idiot and no george wouldnt win when he was to slow and easy to read he wouldnt land much idiot watch matches stop repeating these dumb quotes

Cause mike beat bigger in height and his weight so why did you say that like george would be the first height never was the reason he was beat or was he beat by a slow easy to read puncher like george so picking him makes no sense since he never would land alot

Wrong his chin wasn't that tough for hard shots shown by Ron 1st round hard right had him in danger and hurt every round after and it doesn't matter what your crazy mind thinks from other crazy dummies stop repeating lies quotes follower

George was to slow and easy to read its on vid and that's all that matters so how does he win when he wouldnt land much you people are so idiotic watch matches idiot

And Mike was way tougher he took shots from razor frank Smith all big hitters

took a loaded shot from pinklon that would have stunned most and shock it off right after

nobody ever stunned or had him in danger from 1 big shot like geirge so you dont know what your taking about
