Old Foreman vs Tyson

i dont believe them myself.

That story is basically somebody knew somebody who was related to someone who knew someone who was there.

there's an interview with Tyson available on youtube where he says he is willling to face either Douglas or Holyfield for the belts and once he gets his belts back he wants Ruddock and Foreman before he dies of old age.

Doesn't sound like Tyson was scared.

 

Easy to act big on camera.. A nuthugger like you obviously won't believe anything that puts your hero in bad light..

Didn't Tyson once say he was going to eat Lewis's children??

 

I mean Jesus Fukkin Christ, mediocre Alex Stewart pummeled Foreman, and he was nothing special. Imagine what Tyson...never mind.

 

Yes, the interview was on David Letterman I believe. A day after the C00ney fight.

 

It is like this.

Foreman's winning the lineal heavyweight title when he was pushing 50, is arguably the greatest accomplishment in the history of the heavyweight division.

That version of George Foreman, was one of the weakest lineal champions of all time, head to head.

 

I mean Jesus ****in Christ, Grandfather Foreman went the distance with prime Holyfield yet Tinkerbell Tyson recieved the beating of a lifetime from a over the hill version. Imagine what Foreman would... Oh never mind...

 

I think that if push comes to shove, we have to look at their respective results vs ranked opponents.

One guy is beating the ranked opponents with the odd exception, and the other is loosing to them with the odd exception.

The main asset that Foreman brings to this fight, is his name!

 

That doesn't mean jack when was has a stylistic advantage against the other.... IMO Foreman knocks out Tyson.

 

A stylistic advantage doesn't mean jack when you are pushing 50!

 

Well seeing as though the OP mentioned Foreman of around 1990 he would have been a hell of a lot nearer to 40 than 50!!

 

Do you mean to say that he would have been a pure slugger who was barely past 40!

 

For the idiot bringing up the Holyfield fights.

Foreman, prior to the Holyfield fight, had been active in the 4 years preceding the fight

Foreman fought in approx 25 fights, approx 80 rounds.

Tyson, in the 5 years preceding the fight with Holyfield had fought in 4 bouts, a total of about 8 rounds in five years.

I dont think i need to explain the difference between an active fighter and an inactive fighter.

Also Foreman went 12 rounds with Holyfield, Tyson went 11.5.

So its hardly something to brag about.

Tyson also fought a bigger, stronger and much more experienced version of Holyfield as well

 

To the re**** above... Foreman was an old man facing a prime Holyfield, Tyson was facing an old war torn Holyfield.

I don't need to explain the difference between a prime fighter and an old worn out veteran.

Tyson was out on his feet at the beginning of the 11th round not knowing where he was, Foreman was in no trouble whatsoever come the final round, big difference ...

 

Lou Savarese. Another LOL Foreman barely beat.

 

Yeah about 7 years after 1990 silly girl..
