91 Foreman Tyson bout

@least some1 round hear is an Boxing-XPERT just liek me!!

Does "Tinkerbell" Tyson do worse then Old-Man Qawi???

 

Foreman TKO in 9 or 10 rounds. Big George claims the center of the ring and takes away Tyson`s forward momentum and his confidence soon follows.

Unless someone wants to tell me that Iron Mike is going to start sticking and moving like Alex Stewart or Morrison. Both of those guys conceded the center of the ring to Foreman and used the ring.

Foreman smothers Mike Tysons punches and pushes him back consistantly. George lands enough heavy jabs early in the fight to close Tyson` eye. Tyson tightens up, throws one punch at a time and looks for a place lie down around the 10th.

The follow up punches that Razor Ruddock didnt know how to land...Foreman would land.

 

Sure Stewart moved around a bit but it's not like he was that mobile or fighting off the back foot. When he landed his shots, almost at will, he was stepping forward. Slow and methodic as he was, Stewart had success the whole night. Tyson would have doubled that damage in less time. And Ruddock was a more dangerous threat to Tyson than comeback Foreman. Ruddock was the better fighter too.

 

Tyson was the undisputed champion of the world with several title defenses against a lot of fighters who would abuse old Foreman. You want to tell me he only knew one way to fight but a guy like Morrison was more dimensional? Thats just hilarious. Foreman was so slow that Morrison was able to just walk around him in circles, he wasnt sticking and moving and Morrison had zero stamina so Foremans pressure was overated.
Tyson could box and move and punch in angles way better than Morrison ever could and Morrison shut him out.
Why do people think Foreman, who really didnt knock anyone out of note, would beat Tyson if Tyson stood with him? If Tyson starting hitting Foreman like Holyfield did, and he would, Foreman would be unconscious.

 

Foreman by KO.

Foreman Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook!:rasta

 

I'm picking Tyson. Comeback Foreman was just so slow. He could use Morrison's strategy, but I think he would win, emaphatically, even by coming forward.

 

Foreman was a former and future heavyweight champion. You want to tell me he couldn't KO Tyson but a guy like buster Douglas WHO KNOCKED TYSON THE **** OUT could but foreman couldn't?

You say that Foreman didn't KO anyone of note? He KOed the undisputed and undefeated heavyweight champion of the world.
Holyfield and moorer showed us how to tame an old foreman. Fight behind the jab and just box. Holyfield and Moorer's reach was about 3 inches shorter if
memory serves correctly. Holyfield tried to go to war after racking up a few rounds and the fight completely evened out. Tyson couldn't box like Holyfield and moorer purely because of his size. Sure his boxing skills are way overrated but we all know he could box properly but to someone with an 11 inch reach advantage, a lot of power in both hands and someone who wasn't afraid of him? Tyson wouldn't be able to get in and out and land jabs because if he did he'd get hit with big shots by foreman. If Tyson goes to war with foreman it's a 50-50 fight IMO. If tyson try's to box him he's gonna get KTFO coming in.

 

Fun fight while it lasts but at the end of the day old Foreman was way too slow and hittable and did not throw enough punches. Tyson could take what Foreman had to offer, especially given that Foreman kept a relatively slow pace and rarely threw combinations or the fast, well-timed blows that you needed against Tyson. I don't think old Foreman hit any harder than prime Ruddock. Plus George wasn't much of a clincher either. Many fighters showed that when you hit George hard once, you can hit him again and again in succession, and guys like Holyfield, Morrison, and Stewart were not quite on Tyson's level of power. Tyson had a special brand of punching power. Tyson with his explosive speed and ferocity would have hit him harder than he had been hit since the 70s, and it would not have been pretty for an aging George.

 

This is the 90's not the 70's fool. What undisputed champion did he KTFO??????
Firsr off Moorer wasnt undisputed and he barely beat an injured Holyfield and had a china chin yet Moorer still beat the **** out of him for most of the fight. The fight with Holyfield even?? Gimmie a break your post is full of holes. The truth is Foreman was overated as a top level fighter in the 90's. He could beat mediocre guys who stood in front of him but any guy with any type of skills he got his ass kicked. A guy who could box a little didnt even need mediocre skills.

Douglas would have beat the **** out of old Foreman. Old Foreman couldnt box and move like Douglas and thats what it took to beat a uninterested Tyson.

 

On paper the fight favors Foreman. Cus D'amato said no swarmer could beat Foreman. Tyson believed every word Cus ever spoke. Truth.
Foreman was stronger,had a better chin,was dangerous for the entire fight unlike Tyson who was more of a 5 round KO artist. Tyson was stopped by old Holyfield.
Old Foreman fought well against prime Holyfield. Old Foreman survived hard shots from Alex Stewart's 10 round attack,Tommy Morrison's constant left hooks,Cooney's left hook,Moorer's power shots and a prime Briggs. Foreman was tougher. Speed is a non factor because everyone was faster than Foreman and he beat them anyway. Tyson has nothing to beat Foreman with. I think Tyson is less dangerous from rounds 6-10 and Foreman stops him before the final bell. Tyson feared him no doubt and Foreman called Mike out constantly. And regarding the supposed offers Tyson made to the Foreman camp,George wouldnt fight for bull**** money and anyway there never was any offer.

LOL @ those Foreman clowns in this thread...........

Life and death with cannonfodder Stewart and Saverse, gift decision against handpicked tomatoe can Schultz, outboxed by no stamina party animal Tommy Chin, beat up silly by another glasschin Lwht until he landed a lucky blow, yeah, comebacking Foreman was some real animal, lol, 20 rounds with Stewart/Saverese all swollen up HBO house fighter questionable decision wins.....Cooney straight out of Coke o'ville.....playing heavybag for Holyfield loosing pretty much every round.........did I say swollen like a pulp again, lol.

Comeback Foreman is a first rate Arum con job full of smoke and mirrors, same tactics as they are using with Pac, using Mayweather for publicity with no intent of fighting him EVER.

Big bad George was all about the money and avoided ANY legitimate challenge and rode strictly on his name, lol, he did not deserve ANY shot based on resume, avoided Tyson ,Ruddock, Mercer, Lewis, Bowe, Hide,Donald , Mccall , Bruno, Tua. etc etc by all means necessary because he knew they would F him up bad. The only reason why he cherrypicked Holyfield was because he considered him a light punching small Hwt ,rinse and repeat with Moorer with the added bonus of genuine china, and then after winning the title he got stripped because he refused to fight ANYBODY with a pulse.

Foreman was never thought as a serious challenge to the top contenders, he was more of a nostalgic grandpa show hyped by HBO. I remember when Tyson was asked at a Ruddock press conference with a room full of journalists about a Foreman fight and he replied like " You guys would cruzify me if I fight this fossil and put him out of his misery" . and not ONE journalist disagreed.....

Conclusion: knowledgeable Sports writer, trainer , promoter or casino including top tier fighters saw in him not much more than a carefully orchestrated circus show.

 

On paper the fight doesn't favor Foreman not even in the 70s. Cooney, Stewart, Briggs and Morrison are not Mike Tyson. They are all slower and lack the power that Tyson has in both hands. There is an inherent difference between being faster and being Tyson fast.

Foreman calling Tyson out constantly means nothing. Mitch Green did the same thing; are we to believe that Tyson would have been in trouble against Mitch 'Blood' Green?

How's that for bull**** money?

All four were turned down by the Foreman camp. The 2nd offer was turned down because George wanted a Holyfield rematch as opposed to facing a very dangerous Mike Tyson who had no belts around his waist. George wasn't stupid. He called out Tyson as much as he did to convince the masses that to buy into what really would have been a farce. Nobody expected a competitive fight, they simply enjoyed the curiosity of a novel idea.

Foreman would be there for the taking; you don't beat Tyson without lateral movement. Most importantly unless you can keep him from landing, you're toast. Foreman may land one or two of his shots but if he's unable to keep Mike from landing in succession expect a short night. Tyson is no Cooney, Morrison, Stewart or Moorer who are all famous for their average to below average chins.

Douglas, Holyfield and Lewis kept Mike from getting close and landing. The moment Buster got careless Tyson (despite showing up undertrained and under motivated) dropped Buster.

Foreman barely survived Stewart's shots; if it were a 12 round fight instead of a 10 rounder George would have quit on his stool.

So you can call Mike "midget lisp" if it makes you feel better but if you think that George Foreman actually had a shot against Mike Tyson then I get impression that if Tyson never fought Holmes you'd swear up and down that not only would he never have a chance at knocking him out but he wouldn't even beat him.

So sorry bud. I think I put enough here to end the thread.
