    Foreman had a Granite Chin In over 70 Fights and fighting into the Mid 40s He was TKOd oncel...He fought a Prime Holyfield when He was 43 and went the Distance....We all know what Holyfield did to Tyson twice.....Tyson even Prime is not knocking out a Prime Monster in Foreman If he can not TKO Foreman He can not Win.....Big George by TKO in 5.!!!

    Then you’re denying the evidence of your own eyes!

    Your facts are a bit off. Foreman was 42 when he fought Holyfield.
    But he fought until his late 40's almost 49. Ending with the likely gift decision loss to Briggs.

    If Ali could KO Foreman. Tyson would.

    Okay I’ll do it.

    Tyson beats foreman of the 70’s but loses to george in the 90’s because he took punches better and the cross guard would benefit him.

    That’s just a crazy assessment and it’s predicated on a falsehood!

    Foreman gassed against Ali, he was ready to fall over all on his own Ali just helped him on his was with a couple of token shots on his way down.
    Ali had the skill, the footwork and the speed to draw Foreman into his web, entice him into a fight that exhausted big George and Ali also had the durability and chin to withstand the punches that got through.
    It’s a TKO but it was fatigue that dropped Foreman not a blow to the head.

    Tyson could not employ those tactics Vs Foreman and he doesn’t have the one punch KO power to drop Foreman!

    No brawler is beating a prime Tyson. Both Foreman and Lyle in their fight were swinging wide and wild. Plays into Tyson's style perfectly. Lyle almost knocked Foreman's head of with a hook and I don't know how he got up. Tyson KO's both of them, at least the 1976 versions that would try to out brawl him.

    You’re straight up assuming that Foreman fights Tyson in exactly the same way he fought Lyle!
    Lyle was a monster in his own right, he just met a bigger monster that night but make no mistake Ron was a very good heavyweight himself. However his style was totally different to Tyson’s he was also bigger, slower, heavier and threw completely different combinations than Iron Mike.
    Why would you assume Foreman fights Tyson with the same reckless abandon he approached Lyle with?

    And I'd be correct in assuming that. Foreman mostly fought one way in the 70's and he never showed respect to smaller fighters. He'd use the jab which he flicks and would try to maul Tyson. He reinvented his style later on.

    Tyson doesn't need to fight going backwards. He'll just use his head and body movement, bobbing from side to side, making Foreman miss and then he'd counter.

    Tyson beats anyone in the 70's.
    Foreman will be his only tough fight.
    70s Ali was too slow to cause him problems
    And Frazier is an inferior version of Tyson that gets obliterated in under 3 rounds

    WTF are you talking about ?!?
    That was Tyson's bread and butter and the main reason for his success.
    Him losing his amazing defense is what led to his downfall in the 90s.

    Only Buddy Baer would be able to KO Foreman besides Ali
