I disagree that Foreman was ever a logical defense for anyone. Foreman had huge popularity and appeal, so he brought in the fans, and that...
If they did that, then you'd realize that most fighters are shorter than their listed heights. Tyson at 5'11 1/2"? Hahaha.... Tua gets listed...
Which is probably why those guys survived to hear the final bell. IF those big guys did, in fact, open up and fight Tyson, they probably would...
How tall would you say Tyson is?

Agreed! I think it's absurd to think that no fighter before Foreman or after could not have matched, or in some cases exceeded, his punching...

39. I miss the 1990s, when we had Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis, Ruddock, Tyson, etc., making waves in the heavyweight division, along with the...
