    because you are answering a comment that was not for you, complete ******.. was janitor who used louis at example
    any version of foreman had stylistical advantage over short punchers
    the speed is no factor here because all tyson would do is trading with foreman who was bigger,stronger, hits harder and took a better punch, plus got a much bigger heart and was mentally stronger. tyson would come direct to foreman



    larry holmes was nothing but a pig a finished stylist and the age never did help to his style, tyson always had stylistical advantage over holmes.



    holyfield had little power?:lol: the same holyfield who stopped buster douglas early, the same douglas that tyson could not stop.. plus evander did put tyson dancing like a drunk? tyson got a great chin? then why this "guy with little power" did hurt tyson like that?(please tell me now the joe history about a past prime evander 96 with problems of heart being harder puncher than a peak aggressive91 evander)

    Everybody on this forum knows you're thick as pig****

    Who was training Thomas and Berbick when Tyson destroyed them?

    Who was training Spinks when Tyson destroyed him?

    Who constantly always picked the opposite fighter when Tyson was fighting?

    The butthurt trainers

    Only babies like you would have that mentality though, you're just a Tyson fantasist who ****s himself with a Tyson toy on a daily basis whilst watching the Hangover.

    My answer is you've got that sort of mentality, not George Benton or Angelo Dundee or whoever you want to say was upset.

    Dundee has praised Tyson before you ******, if you want to believe it was all make believe the story about Tyson shitting his parts then knock yourself out and keep living in Tysonland. :hi:

    Wasn't it Benton who heard Tyson tell King that Foreman was an animal? The same Benton who was part of Team Tyson and knew every bit of detail that was said behind closed doors, so he told a friend of his who told his housekeeper, who knew D'amato's caregiver that knew Kevin Bacon(Frank Lotierzos best friend) and planted the story so it was told to the media to shame Tyson into facing a 40 something Foreman? The gospel of the lord. Praise be to God.

    The fight might have happened if Tyson wouldn't have lost the title to Douglas.

    it was scheduled to happen. Bill Cayton had it planned for '89 after the Holyfield superfight.

    King had it planned for both pre and post prison Tyson.

    Foreman is the one who didn't sign, plus obviously Tokyo and prison made things worse

    Look at Foremans reaction when Lampley asks him

    'the wba and ibf tell me who to fight'

    that's his answer to why he didn't fight Bowe

    he hates Tyson so much, he once said Holyfield was never hurt by Tyson, he merely 'slipped' just after the opening bell in their first fight

    forward to 04:20 and tell me that was a 'slip'

    I don't know why people even argue about this stuff.
    Business is business.

    It's pretty obvious that Foreman would have fought Tyson if Tyson had stayed champion. Eventually he'd need to take that payday.
    It seems obvious that the real fight for Foreman, as he was as a mature man, would have been against Don King on the negotiating table.

    There's no reason why Foreman should be physically scared of Tyson. I mean, there's no evidence in Foreman's whole career that he was scared of anyone. I take it at face value that he would have been more comfortable taking on Tyson than say, Lennox Lewis, Tim Witherspoon or even Razor Ruddock. The styles and dimensions make it obvious. In the worst case scenario, he'd figure he was big and wise enough to hang on and smother the shorter man.
    And for the money, and Foreman wasn't exactly scared of taking punishment, from what I can see in his entire career.

    Tyson wasn't scared either, certainly not BEFORE he faced Douglas. I can't really figure Tyson's true confidence and mental strength post-Douglas, but if we're talking 1989, Tyson would have taken on anyone. It was only business that prevented some matches.
