'73 George Foreman vs. '88 Mike Tyson

Bruno hit hard in both hands and frankly didn't do jack to Tyson other than land one good shot that made him blink for two seconds.. This is hardly anything like getting decked multiple times and rocked half to death by a 35 year old man who's power was average at best.... And if you actually stopped to think about it for a minute you'd know that I'm correct in this assessment...

 

Bruno wasn't a big left hooker at all, think you need to watch the shot again. Tyson did more than blink, every commentator on each broadcast yelled "Bruno rocked Tyson, Tyson is hurt." Getting decked a few times is nothing like getting KTFO by an average hitter in Douglas and getting stopped by a blown up Cruiserweight in Holyfield....

 

Um....Wass... I'm the one who posted the clip off youtube, gave you the time on the tape to look it up and explained everything right to a "T".. You ignored everything I pointed out..

Or getting decked and beaten half to death by a feather fisted fringe contender who's career cornerstone is beating Foreman.

That "cruiserweight" commonly makes most people's top 10 and is a man who I'd pick to beat any version of Foreman.

 

Post it again 3 times so we can all look and listen to the commentary, from Bob Sheridan, the HBO crew and Harry Carpenter. They all have one thing in common.... "Tyson is hurt, Bruno wobbled Tyson."

Or getting knocked out by a glass chinned British journeyman....

 

5:37..... And this time actually WATCH what happens, Tyson's reaction to it, and how things unfold rather than listening to the overreaction of an idiot commentator..

Lennox Lewis? Journeyman? Seriously ?

 

Danny Williams, come on Mr Magoo try harder :good

Yeah he's buzzed alright, falls of balance and basically holds his head down whilst coming forward.

 

And composes himself within no time to go right back to battering Bruno.. And again, this was against a huge puncher who did virtually nothing to him..

 

Mike was more skilled and rounded but George could just club him away like he did Frazier. Frazier vs Mike would be competitive.

 

He composes himself because Bruno didn't know what to do once he had him hurt, Buster Douglas knew the score though.

 

I think I'm on his ignore list because he never rebuttals my arguments. Either that or he can't.

 

Bruno tried to follow up. Its all right there in front of you... Douglas was outboxing Tyson from round one and hammering him for 10 rounds strait before he finally went down - a scenario that wouldn't even apply to Foreman.. And most people ( including myself ) don't even consider the Tyson who fought Douglas to be the best rendition of the man... But whatever... I've spent enough time on this...

 

He had Tyson hurt before the 10th round did he not? Holyfield had Tyson hurt as early as the 2nd round in their first fight. Danny Williams knocked Tyson out in the 4th round. You try and make out as though it took sustained punishment to hurt Tyson when it clearly wasn't the case.

 

If being "hurt" or momentarily "stunned" is the only thing you're nitpicking at then Foreman's nearly being KTFO by Ron Lyle in the fourth round of their fight virtually eclipses any example you can give in any of Tyson's fights... Whenever I point this out to you, you automatically default to mentioning his knockout by Douglas, which I've already addressed. And Tyson wasn't badly hurt against Douglas early on... He gradually broke down over many rounds.. Evander had him legitimately hurt early.. But couldn't finish him until late... Tyson had a good chin and could withstand big shots from hard hitting men early in a fight, and I think he could do the same against George...

 

Single shots yeah he might take a few but once Foreman stuns him he would be landing numerous hard shots on Tyson's chin, no way in hell does he survive a Foreman onslaught when hurt IMO.

 

You are one of the few who actually acknowledge Holyfield hurt Tyson in the 2nd round, nobody ever sees it but I sure as hell do. Ruddock also had Tyson hurt in the mid rounds of their first fight.
