Peak Mike Tyson Vs Peak George Foreman

Lol you've never been in a fight in your life. Just because two people weigh the same doesn't mean one can't shove the other.

 

We should tell all the sumo wrestlers that it's pointless to fight against similary sized wrestlers then.

 

It’s against the rules for one thing. If we assume the ref is competent, nobody will be shoving anybody.

 

Well elbowing people, throwing shots to the balls, or trying to break their arms is against the rules too, which is something Tyson was guilty of doing.

Good luck trying to get a clean gentlemanly fight between Tyson and Foreman.

 

Ear Biter vs Rope A Dope Victim. The winner wins a free lesson from chef Bobby Flay, the loser has to make those crummy Medicare Commercials. Ha Ha.

 

Foreman was known for being mentally fragile. Let’s hope that these tactics don’t destroy his confidence.

 

Was he? Based on what?

 

I think both Mike Tyson and George Foreman were mentally fragile. George was more streetwise, Mike was overly protected by Cus D Amato and Kevin Rooney, this led to personal and marital issues, he was well taken advantage of in life.

 

Mentally fragile is Tyson's middle name. Frazier was known for the fight of the century, Tyson was known for the bite of the century.

Tyson claimed he broke his back and quit on his stool in other fights. Tyson never got off the floor to win once in his career. Foreman managed to win fight of the year while getting off the floor to win by KO. Foreman came back in his 40's to reclaim the championship, Tyson was pretty much shot in his 30's and had zero heart in the game just fighting for a payday becoming a sideshow.

You really don't want to start comparing mental strength between these two.

 

Make No Ears About It. Ha Ha.

 

After prison, something was off. Before prison, even looking stale against Douglas, he still almost blasted him out and tried to win until the end. He also beat Ruddock with broken ribs.

 

Tyson’s mental weakness was post prison whereas Foreman’s was evident during his prime years.

 

True, A very Good Post.

 

Tyson didn't show a lot of mental strength when he fought Douglas which was in his prime.

I'll give him the Ruddock fights tho (although there were many ugly blatant fouls). He took some good punishment and kept fighting.

 

Tyson maybe lost a step in prison although he demolished Bruno much more emphatically than he did in 89 which was why he went into the first Holyfield fight as heavy favourite. Those bum rush tactics didn't work against Holyfield and I doubt they'd work against Foreman albeit young Foreman was more open and a bit petulant. Foreman wins this 2 out of 3 times.
