Prime Foreman vs. Prime Tyson

well two atg here like both fighters a lot but in the words of the great Cus D'Amato "no swarming fighter beats George Foreman ever" enough said

 

R.I.P My friend


I hope you are at peace.

 

Tyson would have no fear or respect for Foremans ability.
Tyson did get stunned against Bruno and Tucker, however
I believe Tysons defense was impregnable. Foreman would
have trouble landing the jab and Tyson would counter with
lighting quick precision combos. If George lands a flush shot
Tyson could get backed up but hed recover. I see a moment
Where Tyson ducks and dodges about 8the punches then hook
to the body, uppercut, left hook. Tyson tko 3

 

Foreman in a utter destruction of Tyson

 

All you need to know is a prime Tyson got KTFO by Douglas. Oh wait I forgot he was well out of his prime in that right and was only 20% of the fighter he was a year ago. foreman by KO early on, but gets caught with some big shots thrown by Tyson.

 

Terrible style matchup for Mike. I always thought Mike was much greater than George, but h2h George would beat him. The size and pushing and punching for George and the uppercut agaisnt Mike would have been devastation for Mike. It could have turned into a hugging fest like Bonecrusher if Mike could bob and weave to avoid the uppercut, but to think he could avoid all of those fast punches is too much to ask for. And if one landed Mike is on ***** street because George was just too big and hit so hard and he punch threw more than I saw many fighters do.

Foreman Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook!:rasta

 

It would be two sided for a few rounds,but once Mike sees that George is going nowhere,and he starts getting hit with 'The Houston Avalanche' s best shots,Mike gets battered in five rounds or so.

 

Thats a mistake.

No one ever accused Tyson of being intelligent.

 

One hit from George, and it's all over red rover.

 

Both could punch, Tyson did it better, faster, in combos, with stamina, and had better defensive skills. Tyson could blow him out fast, or do some boxing and wait for Georges usual collapse after few rounds.

 

No amount of rhyming would make this prediction less ******ed.

 

I remember early in Foreman's comeback (1988) the Ring magazine interviewed him. He had stated that "I don't think the George Foreman of ten years ago could beat the George Foreman of today."
He might have been partially correct. Early in Foreman's comeback: 88' to 91' he looked crisp and sharp. Then he started to amass big money from his purses and skills at becoming america's premier salesman of grills and mufflers. He had a couple of crummy fights with Alex Stewart and Tommy Morrison. Foreman was so much smarter and more patient in his comeback than in his first career.

Foreman's so called prime from first career : 50/50 chance of defeating the prime Tyson of 86' to 89.'

Second career: Foreman in the prime of his second career: 88' to 91' vs Tyson in his prime from 86' to 89.' I give Foreman ironically a 75 percent chance of defeating Tyson because he fought way SMARTER and with more PATIENCE. He was not sloppy any longer.

 

I meant to put 1988 at the beginning of the last post. Sorry.

 

'73 Foreman that beat Frazier; that guy beats '88 Tyson that ko'd Spinks.
