I know Foreman has stated that he (70s version) would have KOed Lennox Lewis in 2 rounds. I agree, lets not go there though. Any statements that Foreman has made about beating Tyson? Ive heard that Foreman said his comeback version would KO Tyson.
Word to the wise When George opens his mouth, close your ears. And Prime Lewis takes out Foreman after a few scary moments. Lewis didn't prefer a firefight but when dragged into one he came out on top.
There's also an interview on youtube where George states Tyson would beat him in his comeback but George says that Tyson didn't believe he could beat George. Believe me, George said that as well.
I could never quite take what George says seriously, after I heard him say that he was terrified of Joe Frazier in their title fight and he was glad Joe didn't look down at the staredown before the fight because he would have seen that his knees were shaking in fear. Don't want to call him a liar but it just sounded like total bull**** and I found it hard to ever take what he says seriously after that.
Mike Tyson wins this fight. No way is Foreman landing first and unlike Frazier, no way is there a range Tyson can't hit George. Foreman hits hard. He is a killer. But he needs a sitting duck and he won't get one here. No way can we combine what George was as a reckless youngster with with weak stamina and the cunning savy and ring IQ of an older slower paced George. He was either one thing or the other and Tyson beats both.
Oh please. please. please tell me that all these fools who claim that anything Foreman says is to be taken with a pinch of salt, are fvcking stupid enough to believe that anything Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe, whoever you like, says is worth more than the spit on the microphone. Hahahahahahahahaha.
