Hearns wanted a piece of Tyson in 1990?

at the time, Hearns was going to fight Bobby Czyz whom he was favored to beat for the cruiserweight title, but when Barkley beat VanHorn at 168, Hearns decided to defend against Barkley to try and beat the guy who knocked him out in 1988. The Tyson fight was probably just talk.

 

any foreman would **** in the face of any tyson.

old foreman : "WE WANT TYSON" "WE WANT TYSON"

tyson:" please george please do not **** me"

no need to explain that you know **** about boxing

 

You a ****ing **** and you telling me i dont know about boxing??

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

s p i c is what i was meant to say

 

you are mentally ******ed and you know ABSOLUTELY **** ABOUT BOXING

 

Ok, whatever you say

you diseased spanish p r i c k

 

Damn... that fight was intense!

And Tyson would have murdered Hearns.

 

Even more of one. It makes me laugh,the way some people describe the Spinks fight as Tyson's PRIME performance. Tyson had nothing to beat on that night.

 

Getting oblierated by Tyson shouldn't devalue an opponent.
For instance, Alex Stewart was oblierated in the 1st round too, but gave Peak Holyfield & Old Foreman hell.

 

Former welterweight champion Barbados Joe Walcott, sent out challenges to all the top heavyweights.

History has a funny way of repeating itself!

 

I was a pretty avid boxing fan back in 1990, and don't recall ever hearing the claim, but my guess is that it was mostly talk, and probably not to be taken seriously.

 

I agree that Tyson would get Hearns out of there pretty comfortably, however Tyson only had five fights against guys who had moved up from lower divisions. He beat Spinks and Tillman, a no contest with Norris and lost twice to Holyfield.

Just being pedantic as i think you are pretty spot on with this post otherwise

 

Yeah because weight equates to power.

Who you got number 1 all time? Butterbean or Valuev?

 

Funnily enough, i posted this very same thread quiet a few months back

i more or less got the same replies
apart from the 2 twats, they know who they are

 

Yeah just trying to remember who the guys who moved up were. I think one was Alfonso Ratliff. Yeah Holyfield did move up. I forget now a little since most of his career was at heavyweight.
