Could Prime Tyson Knockout George Foreman (foreman grill version)

:roll: You do realize that most of those lesser fighters held on for their life to make it the distance don't you?

 

people seem to forget that foremans chin isnt as famed as everyone thinks.

ron lyle anyone?

im sure tysons power and speed and defences, were at least the equivalent of Lyle lmao

also foremans monotonous, plodding style, is made to measure for someone like a peak tyson....

in my opinion peak tyson beats any version of foreman.

 

Tyson by TKO.

 

I don't know why the **** people are using ron lyle as an example of foreman having a mediocre chin. Ron Lyle hit hard as ****. You do not have a mediocre chin if you're dropped in a slugfest with a puncher like that. You're just a human being.

I think Prime Tyson could KO him on activity, comeback george was a little too slow and cautious for a fighter like Prime Tyson even with the style advantage. 70's foreman slays him though.

 

Well cuz d'mato (sp) didn't think so.

 

Even though I think Tyson is overrated by most, and I love Foreman, I do think Tyson would beat the "Foreman Grill" version.

Look at the Moorer fight, and how he looks to be in SLOW motion.
So terribly slow, I don't think Tyson would have any trouble.

 

:thumbsup

 

It's possible prime Tyson could stop an old Foreman on sheer accumulation late on in the fight by the ref steeping in an stopping Foreman. But I can't see him getting a clean KO.

But I think the most likely scenario would be Tyson winning a decision. Foreman in the 90's while much slower was a mountain of a man and was smarter and more cagey than the 70's version. I see Tyson dominating early but George pushes him around and manhandles him whenever Tyson gets close. George does enough to frustrate and smother Tyson to survive the full 12 rounds.

 

Well Ron Lyle is nothing, we talk about Tyson here

 

cus died before tyson became champ atsch

 

Hell no... Tyson would end up with his head stuck in Foremans grill. :bart




....he may be able to eat one of his ears :think

 

Too much speed and power, if not by TKO, at the very least a decisive win on points.

Tyson was a go getter for all twelve rounds in his prime, there's no way he'll fade away in the late and get knocked out like so many people think. Just go watch his fights with Tony Tucker whom by the way George ducked like the plague.

 

Can't see it. Tyson has the speed and power sure, but I doubt he'd open up the way he did on his other opposition after eating a bomb or two from big George.
