    Who did Tyson step up to fight? And who did Tyson beat when he got out of jail? Peter McNeely?

    Foreman would fight a guy right after Tyson knock the guy out just as quick. Or a few times fight the guy first and still look better. Who looked better against Holyfield. Tyson or Foreman? Foreman looked better against a prime Holyfield and Tyson got knocked out by a shot Holyfield. Wait Tyson was washed up right? Typical Tyson fanboys.

    The only boxing fan boys who are worse are Rocky Marciano fans and on that note Anthony gets put on ignore

    Aldison Rodirigues was no worse than James Tillis who went 10 with Tyson. Burt Cooper wasn't great but he was a great puncher. He was able to hurt Holyfield with his punches. Something Tyson couldn't do. You people act like the other contenders were calling Foreman out. Nobody was calling him out because it was a no win for them. If they won people would say Foreman was over the hill and if they lost they would say worse.

    Foreman was also trying to get back in shape and shake 10 yerars of ring rust. As I said do you believe any fighter could retired for 10 years come back and fight the same people Foreman fought and have as good as a record? Give me a break. Guys like Tommy Morrison would of gave a prime Ali hell. If 180 pound Henry Cooper and Doug Jones could make Ali struggle then why not Morrison?

    Do you believe a 44 year old Ali could go 12 with Morrison? How about Tyson? How about Joe Louis? How about Sonny Liston? They would of all got wacked out.

    Prime Ali would struggle with Tommy Morrison, but a prime Foreman doesnt lose to an old Ali right?

    Prime Foreman was a force of nature in the ring. Tremendously strong, deceptively quick, great pole like jab, cut the ring like no other and was one of the hardest punchers ever to live. Although no all time great scientific boxer he kept his hands high picking off punches and would pull opponents to himself and at the same time fire off an inside uppercut...cute move for a puncher. Add to this he was a determined fighter with great will to win, killer instinct with an iron chin. Prime George would ko any Tyson and he also had the power to do the same during his comeback. Foreman stated many times during his comeback that one of the reasons for his comeback was that he truly believed he could ko Tyson. George loved fighting smaller crouching fighters who fought in his power zone ala Frazier.

    Foreman turned down Carl Williams, Orlin Norris, and Anders Ecklund among other fighters. Big George did NOT want to face any real, live bodies before getting a title shot. His motto seemed to be: Title match or mismatch.

    first of all my dear ******... the best version of old foreman was 90-91 who faced evander and cooney.
    2_your point is stupid,irrelevant and ignorant. styles make fights.. tyson never would fight like that, he would fight aggressive and he would trade with foreman, morrison not just did change his style against foreman but he was 6´2 heavier and longer than tyson.

    based on the fact that foreman stopped every short aggressive fighter that he fought ever... qawi,frazier, cooper(mccall said that cooper did hit harder than tyson and lewis with his hook),chuvalo....
    tyson never did beat a guy like foreman, never... ruddock was a fragile glass compared with george.

    and of course i would listen the words of cus about the swarmers vs foreman
