Foreman - Was There Anyone In The Puncher Laden 90's...

YES, Lennox Lewis, Foreman called him the best EVER, when he was still linear champ I believe

 

I think Foreman was one of the best punchers of the 90's in the earlier part of the decade. As the years rolled on, however he seemed to have lost some of his ability to finish men.

 

Tyson in 1991 would have knocked foreman out badly, similiar to tyson-holmes. before thankful for George that fight didnt take place. Ruddock in his prime pre 1992 would have done alot of damage to george.

 

No one in history blows out holmes too right? Against Mike tyson there is no such thing as a great chin. Tyson takes foreman out in 1991

 

I think Tyson does KO Comeback George, but Foreman beats the slower Rudduck in a brawl

 

Tucker was defensive, Foreman would get hit more

 

A prime tony tucker was 10x the fighter defensivley/speed wise a 43 year old granpa fat foreman would be. Foreman in 1991 was there to be hit, he had no defense or speed.

 

what is so funny? the fact a 44 year old foreman was nothing but a big punching bag? he was slow as molasses and had no defense, as seen in the fact alex stewart left him a bloody mess and beat him up. O ya the same alex stewart that tyson dusted in one round.

 

That fight was probably the best performance that Alex Stewart ever had, and one of the worst of a 44 year old Foreman's. Stewart and Tyson were nothin alike, and Tyson actually had a style that was better suited for George than anyone else.

Do you think that Razor Ruddock was a better fighter than Foreman was in the 90's? One of Ruddock's best wins that put him on the map was a 36 year old Boncrusher Smith who fought Ruddock in 1989. I saw that fight live. Smith hadn't won a fight since 1986, and that was a fix against Witherspoon and I'm not even going to argue that the fight was set up to go in the tank. I have already posted an entire thread on this issue and gave evidence of its makings.

Smith was nearly 20 pounds over weight for this fight, and fighting very rarely. He was coming off a losing streak and nearly Ko'd Ruddock, yet not long after, he scored a win over Dokes ( a coked up version who was declining ), then took Tyson the distance. This says nothing about Tyson's fights with Tucker and Douglas ( though he was not motivated for Douglas, but we're talking about a 90's version, not 80's ).

Foreman was a better fighter in 1991, then any Tyson had faced in years, and he could have easily given Tyson a great fight, perhaps even upset him......
