    There actually is but you won't accept it. It is absolutely a fact that Mike Tyson was afraid to fight 41-year-old George Foreman--the same Foreman who Evander Holyfield would fight and beat in April of 1991. I have not a doubt that had Foreman and Tyson fought anytime between 1990 and 1997 that Foreman would have knocked Tyson out inside of three rounds. Tyson just has nothing to beat Foreman with; his edge in hand speed would have been a non-factor. He can't beat him by backing away, and he would have gotten his head handed to him if he brought the fight to Foreman. In addition, Foreman was bigger, stronger, tougher and hit harder. Not to mention the fact that Foreman had a better chin and no fear or doubt, unlike Tyson, who was full of fear and self-doubt.

    Think about it, Foreman-Tyson was the biggest fight that could have been made in 1990. Foreman was perceived to be an easy fight for Tyson, and it would have been his biggest payday to date. There can only be one reason why Tyson didn't fight Foreman, and that's because he feared losing to him.

    I haven't a morsel of a doubt that Tyson just doesn't match up with Foreman, and he knows it. If Tyson of 1990 was afraid of an old Foreman, think how petrified he would of been of a prime Foreman, the one who stared down both Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali in 1973 and 1974.

    Tyson knew boxing history and he must have been intimidated like all hell with the idea of facing Foreman. Prime vs prime Foreman kills him. Old Foreman at old Foremans best beats 1990s version of Tyson. Very hard to envision a fighter like Tyson, Frazier being able to beat George. Such a physical monster in there.

    This thread has deteriorated to where it sucks worse than another installment of a Friday the 13th movie..

    Perfectly said. Turning down a mega payday that your opponent is literally begging for to fight for a tenth of the money is the most reliable empirical evidence you could even find.

    Apologies, your highness. But we all go a little mad sometimes. Friday The 13th is a wonderful series of cinematic delight. We grew up with it, we lived through it. And I'm definitely looking forward to the new installment involving scantily clad babes that takes place during a winter wonderland. Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma:ahhhh

    Ya, and too bad, because I was hoping the children's playground would be confined to the general.
