Neither he nor his coach thought Tyson was better than Foreman. Maybe against comparable opposition. certainly not head to head. Tyson wouldn't even fight the old Foreman, never mind the young one.
Foreman was more versitle then Tyson was. He could win the fight with his jab, or just knock you the **** out.
This is a troll post right? Tyson was much, MUCH quicker, had every punch in the book, similar power and had far better defensive attributes. This is pretty obvious, not sure how it could be disputed. Foreman had, I think, more of a will to dominate. I would go with Mike because I think both guys would land shots, but Tyson's would be a lot sharper, straighter and come in combinations instead of one at a time. If George takes him to the late rounds and is still throwing hard enough to hurt Tyson maybe he breaks him down, but I kinda doubt it. Anyone who wants to match bombs with Tyson but is easier to hit and slower is most likely not going to be standing there long. Would be a hell of a firefight while it lasted.
Prime for prime, absolutely. Tyson was at least as powerful as Foreman, but much quicker. Foreman would have been an early KO.
You saw the horrible beating the old version of George took from Holyfield, right? Can you imagine what happens to him if he eats that many shots from a prime Tyson? Young George v prime Tyson is a fascinating fight. Old George v prime Tyson is a vicious, ugly beatdown that I would never want to see.
Movement & combination wise, Speed ect... A Pre HW Champion, First year as Champion Mike Tyson was IMO >Foreman.
Mike Tyson at some point of his life had extremely good abilities. The man was quick, powerfull and had no mercy. Everybody was afraid of Tyson. Bu he is also one of the dumbest mem alive. Lost his fortune. His ex wife, Don King, and that stupid model destroyed his life. Goerge Foreman was a Monster too. Just look at his record!!!!!!!! The mas was retired 10 years. Came back and had a record of 30-3 after coming back including heavyweight championship. Plus the man has been sucessfull in life and have the respect of the public
Prime Tyson, yes. I just watched the entire Tyson vs. Spinks match, earlier, with the ringwalks, etc.. Tyson has the most intimidating entrance there that I've ever seen. What a guy.
