Do you believe Tyson ducked Foreman?

Just because Fury said he could beat a prime Foreman and it didn't happen doesn't mean he ducked him. Foreman, let alone prime Foreman, was long retired by the time Fury came along.

 

Foreman was made for Tyson, no way, no how.

 

No he didnt ... Tyson losimg to douglas and going to prison is what stopped this fight from happenning ... Foreman lost to holyfield and morrison ... Tyson would chop the old fool down

 

Foreman was to slow for tyson.

 

No.

 

Tyson wasn't a glass jawed former LHW, I think "prime" Tyson, would have been too much for old Foreman to handle. I do think Foreman would have hung in there though. Would have been interesting to see.

 

It took Foreman 10 rounds to get rid of glass chinned Moorer, no way would he get rid of Tyson at any point. If he did land Tyson could take it,Tyson wins a wide UD.

 

How do you sell a fight between Tyson vs an old relic like Foreman who at the time (1990 ish) hadnt even fought a top 10 guys.

Simple economics.


PS - watch Foreman vs Alex Stewart. Then watch Tyson vs Stewart.

 

just because one fighter avoids or "ducks" another, does'nt mean that he's afraid of being beat.
the foreman fight would be a big payday for tyson, but would be a lose, lose situation for mike. foreman was seen by the american public as old, fat and slow.
if tyson beat him up bad, or quick, the fight would be seen as a joke and a freak show, there's nothing to be gained from it, also foreman could REALLY BANG, and there's always the risk tyson could end up on the end of one of them shots.
if i was tyson, i may have avoided foreman myself, makes sense.

 

:deal
That's the long and short of, really.

The Tyson with head and lateral movement would definitely have given it a go. The stalking brawler Tyson I think would be ko'd by big george.

 

Foreman in His prime was Brutal,long career and only TKOd once and he fought till he was 48,dont know about this fight if it ever happened but Prime Foreman finishes him in 8.!!!!

 

It is well known that Tyson wanted no part of Foreman.

Tyson was tailor made for Foreman, it would be 4 rounds or less before old fat Foreman brutally knocked out Tyson.

 

Yes.
