Prime Foreman vs. Prime Tyson

Tyson is too fast and technical for foreman. Tysons short compact punches will get inside of Foremans long loops.

Tyson TKO 3 Foreman

 

Foreman is just a greater fighter, period. Prime Foreman would scare the **** out of Tyson, he wasn't afraid of anyone or anything. Sure prime Tyson could beat the version that fought post Ali for a couple of years but prime for prime Foreman had too much for the little man.

 

Gotta admit that's pretty cliche

I go back and forth on this.

 

It's obvious how this will turn out. There's quite a few on here who still believe an over the hill Foreman beats a prime Tyson.

 

Thanks for this thread, I missed the other 487 threads about this.

 

Yeah he only had a mental breakdown and retired for a decade after Ali and Young.

I used to think Foreman because of his physical strength and ability to set the range off of it. But Foreman looks so bad sometimes and his big wide looping punches could be countered badly by Tyson, so i'm not so sure anymore.

 

foreman ko (great fight though)

 

A real 50/50 fight.

I don't think it goes to a decision.

 

All you need to know is Prime Foreman nearly got knocked out by Lyle. Tyson's too fast, technically a million times Foreman's superior and too good defensively. He'd destroy Foreman

 

Tyson would probably get his ass kicked in this fight.
He's not going to avoid getting push across the ring, manhandled and bombed with uppercuts.
No short-armed come-forward fighter should be favoured against Foreman. Tyson had skills, but not the necessary skills.
Yeah, he has a chance of landing on a wide open Foreman. But that chance comes for every 10 chances Foreman gets to brutalize the kid.

 

Prime for prime Tyson's speed of hand and feet will be the decisive factor here. Tyson by knockout. Foreman will see the difference between Tyson and Frazier.

 

Tyson UD12 Foreman.

 

.... and that Tyson DID get KO'd by Douglas !

In your dreams.
Tyson's defensive against uppercuts was lacking. And his stance would play right into Foreman's hands, he'd get manhandled, pushed, pulled and beaten up.
He had trouble with Smith and Bruno holding on to him, Foreman would just grab his shoulders as he came in, and shove him back - or pull him in by the neck and spin him round. If Tyson lasts a round I'd feel sorry for him the punishment he'd be taking.
