How much of Mike tyson s potential did we see?

Foreman's style is perfect for Tyson IMO, he used his physical strength to manhandle and push fighters into position. Tyson didn't know how to fight on the back foot, how would he handle being pushed back, square on and taking monster uppercuts off Foreman?

 

Old foremann far too static for tyson. You d have to be a maniac to think an old george beats a prime tyson.

 

Agree. Any 22-year old with dedication and ambition should have room for improvement bar something unforeseen like a bad injury, accident, disease etc.

 

Tyson couldn't throw punches while he was being pushed back and manhandled.

 

All the worse for Mike !

 

Maybe you're next outcome will be Jaco destroyed Tyson in the first round by an one punch ko.
I don't wanna underestimate your stupidity.

 

For example the 20-21 years old Lewis was an unimportant amateur fighter with several amateur losses by
mediocre amateur opponents.He proved he couldn't be a 20-21 years old heavyweight world champion.
Or the mighty wlad ? What about the Puritty-wlad fight ?

 

Thats not really true while he definitely didn't like it because most of his style was based on the henry armstrong effect, he could punch off the back foot if he had to. infact berbick was pushing him back until he was stunned, ruddock was often pushing tyson back with his sheer size while still taking punches, mcneeley(lol) buster mathis.
but i believe foreman actually has an equal chance to beat tyson as bowe and holy did around 91

 

I'd say about 90 percent. If he stayed focused and disiplined after the Spinks win he could have gotten a bit better, I think.

 

Or an obsessive Tyson hater...cough...Wass..cough.

 

Maybe 91 percent the Spinks win was over 91 seconds.

 

"let's not forget he went life and death with Ruddock."
