    Tyson would have killed Foreman in 1990. Foreman got battered by Alex Stewart over 10 rounds, whom Tyson easily destroyed in 1 round.

    If Cooney won, people would be saying George shouldn't have been in the ring with Gerry. Gerry had a great first rd, I don't remember Goerge knocking people out like that before the Cooney fight, maybe he was truthful saying I had to get him out quickly because he hit so hard. He was awesome in the Holyfeild fight!

    That was 1995 vs 1990 foreman. Big difference, 90 was his 2nd career peak

    Your uncharacteristically off your mark time wise here Q, in 1990 George had all cylinders still going in his comeback, but in '92 against Stewart the age factor was clear after the first two rounds and that continued through Moorer and the rest of his bouts. He could punch but took lots of them in return at that point.
