    Teddy Atlas fought both Tyson and Foreman. Teddy beat Tyson up when he pulled a gun on him. And he got in a shoving match with Foreman.

    I think it'll be FMJ's 50th & final fight.

    Its not happened yet because that 0 is worth 30-40mil a fight.
    Fmj is just playing it safe.
    In his final fight, I think he'll go for it.
    2 fights next year, than in May 2016. I'm pretty certain its on.

    I dont know if you can really call it a duck, but Big George Foreman was all wrong for Mike Tyson.
    That jack hammer jab of Foreman would have been Tyson's undoing.
    Evander Holyfield who fought everyone has said the shots Foreman was landing even on his arms hurt like hell.

    Anyone who said Mike was ducking Foreman needs to look at another sport.

    Mike might have killed him , he was being outboxed and outfought by Moorer for 9 rounds , Moorer wouldn't have lasted 30 seconds with Mike.

    I don't think Mike ducked anyone until after prison. I think his team was avoiding Lewis like the plague because Lewis was a relative unknown and a huge risk at the time. I feel the same way about Floyd V pacman. Floyd and his team feel they would probably win that fight, but the reason they don't take it is there are risks to access.

    It amazes me how much people complicate that situation. Its simply that Floyd knows he has to rely on judges, and **** can go funky in a decision fight if Manny keeps it within 2-3 rounds. Why else wouldnt he take a fight where he stands to 1) Make more money 2) Shut up all the critics 3) If any critics talk, he can shove the Pacman victory down their throats forever 4) Cement TBE status

    Because there's risks and he wants no part of it.

    I would have loved to have seen Witherspoon fight Tyson back in the 80's that would have a been a great fight.

    If Witherspoon had not been KO'ed by Smith he probably would have been the one to face Tyson instead of Smith even with King trying to freeze him out due to their legal dispute. Witherspoon with the WBA title couldn't have been avoided.

    I don't think Tyson really ducked him it was more King freezing Witherspoon out for taking him to court from basically not paying him. He was promised 2 million for his defence against Bruno but only got 100K.

    I would say Tyson and King ducked Lewis back in 96 when Lewis was WBC mandatory.
