    By viewing them on the bag id say tyson looks more impressive with that combo of SPeed/Power. BUt if Iwere the bag id be more scared of George.

    Foreman did look slow clubbing that bag. Although In a fight it was a diffrent story,I was watching his fights with Fraizer,Norton and Joe Roman the other night,and i was impressed with his speed, which ive always thought was underrated,AT least in the early rounds.He telegraped at times but they were still coming pretty fast and you could actually see the power in Mid Air before he even hit them.

    One Old timer I know who co/owned legendary Main st. Gym at one time, said that Liston was the most impressive he ever saw on a heavy bag, he told me Liston practically buried his elbow into the bag.

    Forget the heavy bag.........Who would you NOT want to have at the other end of the ring waiting for the bell to ring, if you were the opponent?

    I would want George because I think I could use my fear and speed to avoid most of the beating....Tyson would just kill me!

    No I hear ya ,the fraizer fight is a great example ..But compared to Tyson on the bag it was a diffrent story ..I wonder how a fight with them two would of played out ? Do you see a prime Foreman just taking his head off ala Fraizer or is Tyson's speed too much ?

    George got more power but much less techique. I have to say tyson is more impressive. Tyson had speed, power, and good combinations. p4p tyson also got the bigger punch. Foreman is a much bigger naturally. Tyson got serious power for his size.

    tyson is hitting a heavier bag and looks like a better quality one too if it all matters.

    Yey I think so I think George would have been all wrong for Tyson. I think George takes him in 6. Even an Old Foreman wanted Tyson and I dont think it was all just for the money. Cuz George could have had big money fights with Lewis and Bowe but never wanted no part of them. I think George seen something in Tyson that he could take advantage of and thats when he was old! Although I dont think an Old George could pull it off.

    Foreman

    For the reason because of his raw power. Tyson is obviously the great technician, but that is what makes it less intimidating. Tyson was trained, and through THAT training developed his ferocious punching power

    Foreman on the other hand, his power is raw. He is someone that was simply born with a huge punch.

    Tyson today wouldnt punch near as hard he did in his prime.

    Foreman on the other hand, I would bet still hits nearly as hard. He could catch you a with a short left or right and you would be out cold. His power is simply his brute strength

    Does everyone here realize Tyson footage is taken during a photo shoot, it is not training session, as is Foremans? Also photographer is instructing Tyson to stop, start, and what to do. Despite that, he is still more impressive than Foreman.
