    Tyson power is not even close to Foreman not even against old Foreman but prime Foreman?
    According to 3 gys old Foreman punched harder than Tyson and Foreman had bigger KO ratio than Tyson.Tyson power was never even close to Foreman which is stupjd to say for guy eho lifted 350lb cows on his shoulder at age 17 and pushed same sized Frazier as ping pong ball.
    Which power guy Tyson fought in his carrer and not lost?
    He lost against power guys like Douglas/Holyfield/Lewis who were not even close to Foreman strenght.
    During Foreman prime he faced much better power guys than Tyson faced.
    Hoe many power guys Tyson faced and won?
    Only power guy he faced was Ruddock/Bruno who were known for glass jaws and lost against any good puncher.
    Ron Lyle-bigger and stronger than anyone Tyson faced
    Ken Norton who was as good as Smith
    Gorge Chuvalo-iron jaw
    Joe Frazier-legendary determination
    Did Tyson ever faced someone as them?
    You again pull Berbicm but Berbick was not even close to Holmes who was not knoen to be a puncher but Foreman second hardest puncher?
    Wasn't that Berbick beaten by every good guy he faced including low energy Larry Holmes and was stopped in first round by Bernardo Mercardo who stopped him even faster than Tyson?

    You obviously know very little about boxing. Try watching the fights instead of just looking up results on the internet.

    I know you are Tyson fight but why you could nkt accept the facts that Berbick was outboxer Ali type like Greg Page but he lost every notable fight he had:Mercardo stopped him in first round,Holmes,Snipes,Truth Williams,Douglas,Rahman....everyone beat him.
    He was c level fighter and good contender but nothing more than that and now you pull him to prove he could beat Tyson?
    We could use Bert Cooper(your profile name),Frazier,Chuvalo,Norton....for proving Foreman could beat Tyson at any age.

    Regrettably, you are too ignorant for logical debate.

    Nope I proved several things without insulting someone let alone calling him with some names...
    I proved that Foreman would beat Tyson 100 of 100 times and dealt with that.

    Tyson had the chin to take single, big shots. It was prolonged beatings over many rounds that got him. I highly doubt that a few shots from Foreman would stop him or have him in serious trouble.

    Tyson is only a 6 round fighter. Always struggled going beyond. Plus Forman is a different animal which Tyson has never seen. Forman by murder.

    Foreman had the most powerful uppercuts in boxing history. Literally lifting guys off the ground with arm punches that had no snap. A single flush shot to anyone's jaw is going to rattle them bare minimum.

    As for Tyson taking prolonged beatings, the same applies to Foreman. You do realize his career was twice as long and yet he was stopped less often? You can't keep using Random moments all throughout Tyson's career when it's convenient. Otherwise I'll go ahead and apply every positive moment from comeback foreman and apply it to the 70's version.

    But what I'm talking about is a general pattern. That was the MO for Tyson. He was never stopped by a few shots, no matter how hard the puncher.

    And the same applies to Foreman.
