Foreman v Tyson

Foreman
early KO

 

You dont defeat Tyson without speed and decent defence or mobility .

Tyson T.K.O before rnd 8.

 

Good job Foreman did then isn't it...

 

Would be short with both at their early 20's best. Four round all out war with Tyson knocking big George out, swarming under around and ultimately all over him. Tyson's elusivity should keep the most of Foreman's bombs from landing until he is thoroughly defused by late in the third - though if it went upwards of 7 or 8 rounds I'd favour Foreman. If they were both older, certainly Foreman.

 

Foreman would utterly destroy him. Probably the worst possible matchup for Mike.

 

He did very well ,took a hard beating for 8 rnds until the ref stopped it for major eye swelling ,he was getting rocked all over but gave it his all until the Tyson onslaught was to much..

 

Tyson is made to order for Foreman, he would wipe him out in short order....

 

Mike Tyson KO 5 George Foreman

 

I've always gone Foreman, it's not illogical to pick Tyson though.

 

It's a difficult fight to judge because you could argue that both Foreman and Tyson are made to order for each other. It definitely wouldn't be going to a decision. Both were so devastating it would be a case of who could knock the other one out first.

 

Before Doughlas, Tyson was overrated. Since Doughlas, he's underrated. However, I think that style wise this is a bad matchup for Tyson. George's size, reach, jab, and power would be too much for Mike, imo.

 

Foreman by early KO

 

I don't know about that. Larry Holmes had all of that (except the devastating power of Foreman) and Tyson was able to bypass the jab and reach with his vicious, swirling attacks. Whether Tyson could withstand Foreman's power is as unknown as whether George could withstand Mike's.

 

Foreman too strong, too much power, and too ferocious for Mike.
