    Battle of the ATG punching goliath's. Foreman with his titanic power, tremendous size and great chin and recuperative abilities.

    Or Tyson with blazing handspeed, huge power, and impeccable skills. Who you got?

    After looking at the Schulz effort, Tyson should win handily

    No slow, plodding puncher would ever beat Tyson. At least not a Tyson in decent mental and physical shape.

    Foreman will get hit far too much and far too often here.

    If foreman is still standing after 6 he'll be able to outlast mike but chances are he'll fall in a way similar to cooney against spinks making him look like a gigantic punch bag.

    Old Foreman never beats Tyson

    Hes too slow, **** footwork and just fat. The only problem here is Foremans jab and straight right. However thats ALL Foreman has, He wouldnt present the problems Holyfield did like angles, counterpunching etc.

    Tyson beats Foreman to death and the ref saves him

    Tyson would need to knock George out early. If the '96 model of Tyson got extended,he would crumble. Even the old Foreman was durable enough to still be in there late.

    I agree that Foreman had **** footwork, and he was slow, but Foreman has a large arsenal of power punches not just the 1-2. And he wouldn't present the troubles Holyfield did, he would present his own set, such as his immense size and ungodly power. His incredible punch resistance and will to win

    Posts like this show the lack of knowledge on this forum. Just ridiculous. Foreman hadnt had a KO victory since facing china chinned Moorer who stood with him in 1994 and it still took him 10 rounds to do it. He couldnt knockout Crawford Grimsley in 1996. The same guy who was knocked out in about 10 seconds against Jimmy Thunder. Asthmatic Briggs, Savarese, and late fading Morrison all took him the distance. This "ungodly power" as you call it, is so dam overated its sickening.
    In 10 fights since 1991 where he faced "somewhat" credible opposition, he had just three stoppages, but he was going to defeat Tyson who was faster, better and a harder puncher than anyone he had faced up until that point because he had Tysons number stylistically? :patsch

    In 96 tyson was the top hw in the world, a title he lost to holyfield at the end of the year.

    Foreman was not the top hw at this point.

    1996 Foreman vs 2002 Tyson would be a 50-50 fight.

    1996 Tyson would execute old ass Foreman.

    George Foreman is bassicly accepted as the hardest puncher of all time, I don't even have to defend his power. Now shut the **** up and get the **** out of my thread you pinhead loser
