    Makes alot of sense. The time frame coincides. Big George admitting at that point he really wouldn't of have proved much of a challenge to Tyson and goes after Holyfield instead of Tyson and Lewis's close fight to a prime Mercer explains why some fights didn't happen. If we're getting alot of hoopla today with Arum and GBP I don't see why not with King and Duva yrs ago. Different time, same deal.
     
  2. i don´t hate tyson, he was a great boxer, simply i think that george foreman was completly wrong for him

    Not a tyson admire. He used scare tactics and many fighters cowled to that. As proven in his losses. He was no match for a fighter that didn't fear or who could box. If it came to fighting Foreman. Big hitters made a mistake. It took Ali's style to beat Foreman.

    Not true that's just a common myth proven wrong. Holmes wasn't scared and I don't think Ruddock was either. I do think a prime Foreman executes Tyson and that slick,crafty,durable boxers beat Foreman.
     
  6. . larry holmes was ready to lose, he fought just for the money. he told king before the fight "i can´t beat mike tyson, i did nothing for 2 years"
    and ruddock was scared clearly.(and who is ruddock? david jaco destroyed him , old foreman destroyed jaco in 1 round)
    james smith or tonny tucker wasn´t scared. and tyson didn´t look so good.
    and yes, prime foreman would execute tyson
