Name a heavyweight boxer that could stand up to Foreman and Tyson's early onslaught.

Tyson KO1 Klitschko

 

HA! The best fighter he fought after that was Holyfield and McCall and he lost to both. Mrs. Klitschko could beat half the opponents Holmes fought after Tyson. Oh let's not forget the legendary Butterbean.

 

Let's not forget the nearly 2 year lay-off Holmes had bf he fought Tyson. He got back in there with Tyson without a few tune-up fights. You are overvaluing that win.

 

James Braddock KO1 David "The Diver" Haye

 

Juan Manual Marquez KO1 Diver Haye

 

Michelle Obama KO1 Diver Haye

 

I just don't buy Tyson as a great fighter. Foreman was an ATG and a beast and would have decimated Tyson. And the Klits would have forced Tyson into a dress and raped him.

 

He cleaned up the division by himself. :conf

 

Tua
Ike
Vit
Wlad
Wach
Smith
Tucker
Valuev
Lewis
Holy
Bowe
Green
Ali
Sam Peter
Mercer
Ruddock

many more.

 

Lennox Lewis trained his arse off for Tyson and despite Mike being washed up went 8 rounds.

Lewis didn't even train for a Vitali, who in his prime only went 6 rounds and got battered so bad.

That should show you how far apart this era is from 90s and 80s

 

Ali, Holmes, Lewis, Liston, McCall and a few others.

Tim Witherspoon could handle Foreman and Tyson. Underrated fighter in skills, but his inconsistency made him a good and not a great fighter.

 

tezel: You have done more editing than Michael Moore in his documentaries. Why don't you show the 10 times he took dives to the floor. You show a little bit of the diver running which he did so well.

 

I think it would be a mistake for Tyson to rush in with trade with Louis. Louis has faster hands, more power, and a better range of punches and is a better in-fighter. Tyson would be very smart to show Louis some serious respect.

People seems think that Louis would take a Tyson shot and fall down and flop like a fish when so many other lesser fighters on Tyson's resume withstood it and fought on.
