    Foreman's religious conversion after a fight he finished on his feet vs Tyson's feminine conversion post Lewis where he was annihilated. I think you know which is worse.

    Or do you?

    After all you do hero worship a guy who publicly stated "I'll **** you till you love me f*ggot" in front of the entire world. One has to wonder...not that there's anything wrong with it if course.

    I remember this channel he knew what he was talking about even though I corrected him a few times ,he was big Klitschko fan and I believe that was the end after a long debate on that one and the AJ win . He had a good idea however to do things and understood practicality over historical labels.

    I haven't seen the video in a minute so I went to the comments where I posted.

    My exact post 2 years ago on that video...…..


    ZOUSKI SAID THAT FOREMAN WAS BIG AND STRONG BUT OFTLEY SLOW . " THERE IS NO SNAP IN HIS PUNCHES ,THEY DIDNT HURT AND WERE THUDDING ,TYSONS HAD MORE SNAP THEY HURT MORE " S. ZOUSKI

    This is the only guy that fought prime Tyson and Foreman besides Jameson ,Tyson lost some snap on his punching post prison.

    Anyone who knows punching mechanics of delivering the harder punch ( not the more powerful one ) will know M.Tyson hit harder.

    Damn, like a whiney b*tch you just don't stop do you? You're running the whole gamut of emotions. Speaking of feminine qualities. Straight up b*itch mode.

    Or remember that time when Big G fought 5 puds in one night, or at least tried to, and like you ended up depriving a village somewhere of an idiot? THAT WAS ****ING HILARIOUS PART 2!!

    Doesn't that indicate foreman had more raw power? He wasnt blessed with tysons explosiveness or speed, nor his head movement. He wasnt a dedicated ko artist with a fine tuned combination system designed by a legendary trainer. He just...pulverized you without much finesse (especially his first career). Despite lacking all the things tyson had and having a much longer career and continuing to fight way past his prime he had a higher KO% than Tyson. That doesn't definitively prove anything on it's own merit, but it is interesting that it turned out that way.

    Typing in uppercase indicates that you're emotional, please be calm. You're a little bit like Tinkerbell after Lewis slapped him at their press conference and he went into full melt down mode- a mixture of tears and threats of a dubious sexual nature.

    And please. Mike Tyson's post boxing career is based on his idiocy. A little hint, when he goes on Jimmy Kimmell or Conan O'Brien the crowd are laughing at Mike not with him because he's recognised for the stoner **** up he is. The guy can't do a 5 minute interview without alternatively saying something dumb, threatening or bursting into tears. He's a buffoon and if he wasn't a circus freak show no one would give a stuff about him based on his boxing anymore.

    Tinkerbell would make you crap your pants if you said that to him,in reality that would never happen what are you a buck 70 or so with no combat experience ? Maybe still 24 ? lol

    Foreman is really irrelevant thats why he is not on many talk shows etc,he older and is not remotely as interesting, Tyson is.


    The real idiot is you and posters on here LIKE you who mock any fighter with the legacy he gave. All you can do is stand far away and shout idiocy so why call anyone a buffoon when you have a 9 to 5 job and no boxing record ? :angryyell:

    Who asked for your opinion?

    This is part of a longer discussion involving Sangria and myself.

    Anyway don't lecture me on mocking anyones legacy when the paragraph before you mocked Foreman relevancy. Tysons only interesting because he's a car crash that people like to look at. George is retired with 100's of million in the bank, a huge ranch and the respect of the general public. Tyson wishes he had just one of those.

    I don't need an opinion from anyone permission ,simpleton its a forum, you dummy. lol

    Foreman defended his belt twice you idiot hes not comparable to Tysons legacy ,he had a great win over Moorer which was a record breaker for oldest champion AFTER a loss to Morrison ,that's his biggest accomplishment so mocking M.Tyson is as dumb as it gets.

    You idiot.

    You know what gets me? When these arm chair weekend wanna be warriors can't check facts. You can measure a fighter's greatness different ways. Facts that keep getting glossed over are Mike Tyson went 22-4 against rated opposition and Foreman went 7-5. Foreman has the 2 bigger names on his record but overall Tyson fought the far better competition. It's not even close!

    Well I would argue Holmes is a bigger win then Foreman has over Moorer who had some weak whiskers moving up .

    Foreman has a few gifts as well ,in Tysons prime or relevance 89/91 he wasn't close to losing not including Douglas fight..

    In saying two bigger names he didn't win all of them if you are counting losses.

    I know one thing, Tyson doesn't struggle like /foreman did who he fought ,Holyfield would have got knocked out in 91 against Tyson most likely and guys like Savarese in the other era to doesn't make Tyson competitive ,Mike mauled that guy ,what did Foreman do ?.


    No one likes Foreman more then I did when he won again, i won money on that Moorer fight and everyone said I was reaching way bf social media. But any realistic person knows M.Tyson is a commodity in boxing and why it thrived beyond the 80's. Foreman was the actually mockery and choosing weak guys for fights didn't help him ,he was the circus act not Tyson I was in that eras to, these fools criticize the guy who kept it alive ,Foreman was asked to fight someone relevant to get that Tyson fight...….


    Do you know who he fought after Don King told him that ? Mike JAMESON.


    Maybe Foreman was confused with the wrong Mike and assumed defeating a MIKE would get him the fight ? :yikes:

    I completely agree. Foreman wasn't even the best heavyweight of his generation. He beat Frazier twice, Norton and Lyle but lost to Ali and Young. In reality he came back after 10 years and made some noise by beating jobbers but lost to anyone who was good. Take the Moorer victory away and what are we left with? A man who ducked an Old Holmes and anyone else who can fight, that's who. His limitations were very transparent.

    And like you, I pulled for the guy and thought he would beat Holyfield. Wishful thinking because I favored a Tyson-Foreman brawl over a Tyson-Holyfield bout because they were my 2 favorite heavyweights at that time.

    There's also documented proof that Foreman refused to sign a contract to face Tyson after calling him out for years. There is no proof, however, of Tyson ducking Foreman. Only third hand accounts of agenda driven nobodies trying to stir the pot.
