    Yeah because that's what a mentor of a young smaller sized heavyweight who had confidence issues would say to his fighter knowing quite well that his fighter would have to go up against fighters the size of Foreman and even bigger.

    Makes loads of sense.

    Also, stop posting that fake ass story about Tyson not wanting to fight Foreman, it was proven to be totally fabricated nonsense years ago on this very site.

    So put the pipe down you blurt.

    **** off you alt, *** boy Tyson was petrified of Foreman and would sooner have seen Don King in the ring with him than fight him himself, typical actions of a coward and bully.

    Come again Gaylord. :hi:

    I guess that when Foreman got back into the game, he must have expected that he was probably going to have to meet Tyson at some point. That is not to say that he was not relieved when the title passed into the hands of weaker fighters.

    Why would he be relieved, the fairytale ending was briefly stolen from him when Tyson was knocked out by the journeyman Douglas. Foreman promised he would have taken out Tyson in under 3 rounds that's how confident he was.

    cant believe how many idiots keep repeating that bull**** made up story.

    Tyson openly admits hell fight Foreman, Foreman talks a good game and then backs out from signing the contract and even admits to doing so

    that equals Tyson was scared:patsch

    What does it prove?

    All he said is he wants to fight Tyson, and that hes more scared of King than Tyson. Pretty much what got said in another thread by Azzer...

    He just enjoys being an uneducated, biased dick.

    Foreman: Ill knock Mike Tyson out in two rounds, when the contract was given to him. He refused to sign.

    That equates to Tyson ducking Foreman.

    At first Foreman's comeback was considered a joke. When it got serious, and Foreman flattened Cooney, Tyson was upset by Douglas the following month. So Foreman eventually gets his first shot against Douglas' conqueror, Holyfield.

    When Foreman upset Moorer, Tyson was still doing time, and when he did come out, it was clear Tyson needed to establish himself again. Tyson decides on a big money tune up with a seemingly shot Holyfield and loses, Foreman 'loses' the Briggs bout and calls it a day.

    Tyson/Foreman was always a fight on the horizon, a fight either could take after their next bout.

    Tyson was banned from boxing 97-99 for the bite fight

    Yeah George Foreman is going to beat Tyson.... The same Foreman who was dominated by Tommy Morrison. The same Foreman who had his face grotesquely rearranged by Alex Stewart. The same Foreman who was scared shitless of fighting Bowe and Lewis and the same Foreman whose promoter had to pay $250,000 to the IBF just to get **** poor Axel Schulz RATED so Foreman could defend against someone he could beat and keep the gravvy train rolling. You know, the same Foreman who lost easily to Schulz and then ducked a rematch only to get stripped. Yeah, that guy was going to fight any version of Tyson. ****ing morons. Tyson would have massacred the slow, fat, clubbing, huff and puff Foreman like he was a thanksgiving turkey. We are just damn lucky that fight didnt happen because it would have been a very high profile public massacre.
