    Berbic beat Ali just as many times as Frazier did

    Tyson beat Holmes, who beat Ali who beat......Foreman/Frazier

    :D

    Tyson was strong but he was never hard to push back. Even Jose Ribalta, who wasn't particularly strong, 6'5 and 211 pound, was pushing Tyson off him.

    And Foreman was the king of the pushers. His brute strength was through the roof.


    I like this one ;

    pushing is illegal under duke of queensberry rules

    foreman did not win fights by pushing people accross the ring

    he won by hitting them ****ing hard as **** like a truck

    This is true.
    But the pushing helped him take away the opponent's chances.

    I also like the 1 arm shove he did to Chuvalo that made him fly across the ring like a rag doll :lol: If Tyson got too close for comfort all it would take is a little shove to get him back at long range where Tyson ain't doing much.

    I dont see how pushing is any type of skill that would benefit Foreman? Tyson was pushed by everyone, Biggs, Berbick, Tubbs, Thomas, everyone! That doesnt mean they are stronger than him. Tyson wasnt one to push guys around anyway but he did end a lot of his shots on the inside to clinch.
    Most of Tyson's devastating blows were delivered when he was back in punching range set to punch anyway. George was no defensive specialist either.

    I was actually impressed with how Trevor Berbick came out and tried to muscle Tyson in the first round. Although Berbick got stung by rounds end, he did come out with an aggressive attitude and managed to push Tyson back some, which not many fighters before or after Berbick managed. Berbick was a decent, durable fighter. Tyson said after the fight that he was impressed and surprised by Berbick's physical strength.

    People are using this as one of the main reasons why Foreman would crush Tyson. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. It never worked on Tyson before but since Foreman is a master class shover it's going to cause some major cosmos. :nut:roll::patsch:-( :barf

    Big George at 42 went the distance with Holyfield,thats something Tyson tried twice and failed both times,Big George was an absolute Monster in his prime he would be to powerful and strong for tyson and considering George was TKOd once in his whole career doubt that Tyson would KO him.

    Not only did a Prime Foreman destroy Frazier in 2 rounds he took 2 rounds to finish Norton,Ken hit George with some huge Bombs and Foreman just brushed him aside like a little Boy,knocked him out 3 times in the second round before it was stopped.!!!
