    Cus D'Amato thought the opposite, he was convinced a short, come forward slugger like Mike could never beat Foreman.

    Even his 40s George still thought he could beat him.

    Lyle vs Foreman is ****ing epic, an incredible fight

    Wait

    what are you saying? That comeback fat George have no chance?

    That's obvious, Tyson punch holes through him. But 70's George vs Prime Tyson could be a much tougher fight.


    I still say Tyson wins. But his chin will be tested to the fullest extent possible.

    Hard fight to call. Foreman had waaay more power than Tyson, Tyson had more speed.

    But I think Foreman would win, strangely enough the old version with an extra 50 lbs on him, might do better than the 217 version. That punch he hit Moorer with looked like he barely threw it and yet Moorer went down like he was shot and the fighters who did beat him, for the most part weren't trying to trade shots with him, they moved and boxed, not Tyson's style. But Tyson's speed...

    Prime Foreman vs Norton vs the Tyson that beat Berbick? Someone is getting KO'd.
