    See how easy Foreman manhandled Cooper. Them body shots were sickening too. Monster strength. I'm starting to wonder that for a short time was older Foreman better than young Foreman. Far better iq and paced himself a lot better. If young Foreman had the ring smarts of old Foreman nothing would stop him..Pure fantasy I know

    Old Foreman can’t beat Alex Stewart and Tommy Morrison but he’s going to beat a prime Mike Tyson???

    George Foreman turned down 3 separate offers from the Tyson camp.

    1) $5 million in 1990. Foreman claimed he was more afraid of signing the dotted line with Don King than he was of Tyson.

    2) $20 million in 1992. Foreman wanted a Holyfield rematch instead.

    3) In 1995 he also claimed he won't fight Tyson if Don King is involved.

    George was trying to sell himself by calling out Tyson but when it came to the fight he wasn't as interested.

    Of course he didn’t want to fight Tyson. A peak Tyson was a whole different animal to anything old foreman ever faced.

    Your opinion on a 45 year old foreman is borderline delusional! He lost to B level fighters..he’s not defeating prime top 10 ATG heavyweight champions!

    I think Foreman's goal was to win the Heavyweight Title. He called out Tyson when Tyson had it but when it went elsewhere he followed it. I don't think Big George comes back at all if he was worried about Mike Tyson. It makes no sense. At the time of Foreman's comeback it looked like Mike Tyson was gonna be champion for a long time.

    I don't have a strong pick either way. I've change my opinion on this fight over the years.

    One thing that fans need to understand is that the Foreman that fought Stewart and Morrison wasn't the same fighter that faced Holyfield in 91. I think he had a narrow window and he gave Holyfield a good scrap.

    Big George kept going but trust me. 45 and 41 can be a world of diffence.

    So does any 90s version of George beat A peak 1988 mike Tyson who was perhaps one of the best heavyweights of all time?

    I think he has a chance. George can hit and Tyson at 5-10 is gonna be walking right into Foreman's wheelhouse. Those uppercut. .

    Tyson has advantges speed, youth. Do you think Tyson would of had the humility to change his style and move away from Foreman? That what Morrison did and Stewart was on the canvas 3 times early.

    They both could hit
