    It was Don King who prevented it then. That makes sense.

    he was asked about the Tyson fight around 70 minute mark in the show.

    was he ever offered, was he interested and what he thought would happen if they were to meet.

    Foreman confirmed this. :thumbsup

    Tyson was scared of being KO'd plain and simply - cos his trainer Cus had once told him that Foreman would destroy any swarmer and Tyson believes everything Dmato told him.

    Besides teh style, power, strength, chin, durability, stamina, height, reach advantages for Foreman, he also has no fear - he would stand up to Tyson and refuse to be intimidated. So Tyson's confidence would shatter as he would lack fear-control over George, so I cannot see Foreman losing, had they fought anytime from 1987-1997. :bbb :!:

    I think if Foreman fought the Foreman that Stewart fought, he would certainly beat him.
     
  8. Foreman was quite overrated imo, anyone that could move around would beat him. He ducked Tyson, and Holmes and his views on boxing's current scene are laughable. Pacman needs Mayweather, cause if he does not fight him, it proves he is afraid of the steriod tests :!:

    His words on the current state of HW boxing are completely fitting. The HWs today are boring and the division while seeing a bit of a rise has overall been largely a joke.

    Foreman KO 3 Vitali prime for prime.

    Foreman would have beaten both Tyson and Holmes.

    No he wouldnt have. He pretty much admits Tyson would have an easy time with him, and no way he catches up to Holmes who had the perfect style to always beat old slow George from outside.

    George says a lot of things. Tyson would not have stood up to Foreman very long. Holmes would have boxed for a time but would eventually
    get stopped by George.

    :lol:

    The blind knob slobbering around here is awesome. How does someone like you even stumble into Classic?

    Your boy up there in your avatar was caught with steroids. We sure as **** won't see you highlighting that delicious bit of truth anywhere though.

    Go bring your bandwagon accusations back to ****ing General. :lol::hi:
