Mike Tyson Vs. George Foreman

Well at least Big George finally came clean very recently and told us he was actually drugged befor the fight. Little wonder he tired so fast and fell over at the end!!!

 

It's true, Bundini did the old "Look up there" trick and Moore and Sadler immediately looked around and Drew poured some Muhammad Ali Cologne in Foreman's bottle, and George, being a guy that couldn't take his ale, was drunk on the alcohol content.*




* This is true. I only deal with truth nuggets as you know.

 

Exactly! dinner - a man who tells it like it is! Didn't Ali do the witchdoctor thing too? I mean how is Big Daddy's granite chin going to be up to it's normal sterling (hardened, of course) self when some buggers been sticking pins in it!

 

Ha ha Poor George. The fight was delayed by a month too as we know, because of a cut- in reality it was a series of cuts.

Poor Georgie. :-(

 

LMGFAO!!!!!!

 

Guess what fight I watched last night. Foreman v Lyle. After his loss in Zaire, and this being his very next fight around 15 months later, he done well to come back from two knockdowns to stop Lyle. The second knockdown, Foreman was flat on his face and looked as if he'd been shot from a masked sniper in the crowd. This sure was a legalised streetfight. Foreman's legs turned to jelly when Lyle smacked him at long range with a right hand during the first round.

 

Big George in 3. Tyson discouraged easily and a few haymakers from Forerman would Have Mike reaching for the antidepressants and his corner the smelling salts.

 

Tyson was never in any fight in his career discouraged by his oppnent landing big on him. Tyson loved to fight. If he was ever discouraged in his career it was because he was unable to land his shots and he was subsequently outmanuvered and therefore beaten.

Foreman had a lesser chin.

Foreman's power was equal to Tyson in terms of effectiveness. Tyson was a better composite puncher, no if ands or buts.

Tyson's handspeed combination punching will ensure that he gets to Foreman early and often and because of that I dont see George surviving.

Tyson was as complacent as his opponent allowed him to be; when pressed or caught with a big punch Tyson came back swinging and landing eventually breaking his opponents down.

Look at Tyson Ruddock I round 6. Tyson smiled after taking a combination from Razor, and he waved his hand signaling for more. Considering Ruddock's power, especially in his smash I have a very difficult time believing that Tyson would falter just because Foreman landed a big punch.

 

win or lose Foreman would take a lot of punches to the noggin before the fight was over.

 

Tyson.

 

yes I remember that, Ruddock hit Tyson with a huge shot. Tyson said "hit me again" . Similiar thing happened when he took a right hand from Larry Holmes. I've seen prime Tyson take a lot of punches, but he ALWAYS walked right through them without even flinching. He had an iron jaw.

Foreman may possibly overpower and take out tyson as he did frazier, but he'd take a lot of punches in the process. Tyson's speed and countering punching ability would be a problem for him.

 

I think so. Tyson was much better defensively than Frazier, and I don't think Foreman would be able to hit Tyson the same way he did Frazier.

 

Foreman by late KO in a closely scored fight.

 

Fighting Foreman wouldn't have proved anything for Tyson. I think Tyson proved more by fighting someone like Razor Ruddock, a guy who practically everybody in the division was avoiding at the time, including Foreman!

 

Cooney never hit Foreman with a massive hook. He landed a short left hook in close that looked like half an arm punch. George had a good chin, but he could be hurt. And not many fighters were better "effective punchers" than was Tyson.
