    Tyson 1991 in no way resembles Tokyo Tyson.

    He doesn't resemble 87-88 Tyson either...the slick defence,head movement into attack and pivots seemed gone.

    1991 Tyson or Tokyo comeback Tyson was a hungry mean determined powerpuncher with a great chin and great stamina. This Tyson could fight 15 hard rounds if neccesary.His physique seemed more muscular and far less prone to being physically pushed back like the shot 2002-2005 vintage.

    1976 Foreman I rate extremely highly.

    I beleive Foreman in a punishing Lyle like war...survives 2 knockdown in round 1, to knock out Tyson in round 7 in a fight fought hard and dead even until Foreman hurts and puts Tyson out with a left jab ,right uppercut,wild left hook ,right cross finish and left hook finish that puts Tyson out of the ring. Tyson valiantly scrambles to get back in but becomes tangled in the ropes and is counted out. He reacts with fury at the stoppage and was ahead on points

    Yeah, it's not like Foreman beat anyone like Tyson. He almost killed Joe Frazier, TWICE!
