    Exactly my thoughts on the matter, Tyson makes Foreman's face look like the Stewart - Foreman fight but potentially worse and wins a wide Unanimous Decision

    Yeah, and it wasn't like Stewart adjusted his style against Foreman. He stood in the pocket and landed at will after a slow start as George bit off more than he could chew. This was the fight which opened my eyes and figured comeback Foreman wasn't as good as everyone thought he was. A coming back down to earth party that convinced him to seek a second retirement.

    Tyson had exactly the same intentions of fighting Foreman as Jones did of fighting Lewis, after beating that useless plank Ruiz. NONE

    Foreman is a stationary punching bag against Tyson, he isnt dropping Tyson and he isnt out boxing him nor does he have any fire power to make Tyson respect him, Tyson wears him down and lays him out in 7

    Foreman does not have the firepower? Hardest puncher in boxing history my friend. Trust me on this one.

    This thread is about the 90's foreman so yes he did not have the firepower to do jack against Tyson then.

    If takes Tyson 7 rounds to dispose the mummy Foreman back then, it would be a poor performance. Holyfield was criticized for going the distance against both Holmes and Foreman back then.

    Oh I agree dude..but I dont see Tyson dropping Foreman earlier than that..what Tyson does is a systematic beat down over the fight breaking his will and laying him down flat..slow as hell Foreman isnt going be able to brush off those bombs Tyson lands on him nor will he be able to keep Tyson off of him...Those videos on youtube of Tyson working the heavy bag letting off 4-5 punch combos..yeah..that heavy bag would be Foreman..but we both know Tyson would be criticized either way...
