Mike Tyson vs George Foreman 1988

Stick around and don't leave this place so often! LOL. We need your skills.

 

hard to imagine an old fat slow foreman beating a prime Tyson. Now a prime foreman is another story.

 

Tyson in 88 would have KO'd any version of Foreman.

 

If the fight had happened in 1988 I think Mike Tyson would have really embarrassed George Foreman and knocked him out with a combination similar to the Pinklon Thomas KO. Evander Holyfield had Foreman in trouble with combinations but didn't have the power in them to take him out, Tyson did have the power and in 88 he had the means to land them too.

 

Exactly, not only can I see the ref's count clearly. I can HEAR it as well. And don't know about you, but my hearing is fine, and I heard a "10" you know, the number that comes AFTER 9.

 

and he was up at 9. your hearing is, good, i agree, but your cognitive ability needs attention.

 

If he was up at 9, why does it read Douglas KO10?

 

Yep that's me. Except I can't play a guitar, and am not black. That and Skynnard spelled Lowe, "Loew".
But yes that is were my moniker comes from, and the song is a good tune.

 

Yes, great song.

 

Comeback Foreman is probably the most overrated Heavyweight ever. If his career started from his comeback he would be rated a bit lower than a Bonecrusher Smith level guy. Just a very tough hard hitting guy but quite limited

 

Ruddock at this point would've put some major damage on Old George. A lot of fighters avoided Ruddock since he was seen as almost as dangerous as Tyson. RUddock was a far better and more dangerous fighter than Foreman here.

 

Tyson was never "in trouble" against Bruno. He wobbled a little bit is all.

 

Prime foreman wins old foreman is 50/50 when Mike was at his best his stamina was slightly better then when he started getting lazy. Tyson’s stamina is terrible if George makes it out of the 6 it’s sleepy time for iron mike

 

Dude, Foreman had terrible stamina. And Old Foreman just fought smarter. Against Tyson he'd have to deal with a speed demon with a high work rate. Even if Foreman survived the early rounds his face would look worse than what Stewart did to him.
