    I like the Foreman jab and uppercut. Posting Lyle footage to me is like posting Tyson against Douglas or Ruddock, perhaps worse. Mentally he wasn't the same fighter, and he wasn't doing the things he was by his run up to the title. Foreman digressed jabbing after that Frazier fight. He fell in love with that power and declined more so than Tyson did imo.

    Tyson was stopped by Douglas and Holyfield, guys who weren't huge punchers.
    I mean, who else did Douglas ever knock out or knock down ?

    I don't care that Tyson "remained on his feet" - he was getting pummelled. He was in a fog for most that time. And he got knocked out. That's nothing to boast about.
    I would imagine that Foreman took more punches from Holyfield, as did Bowe.
    Tyson couldn't go the distance with Holyfield or Douglas but several other top heavyweights could. Even guys who were taking loads of shots.
    It's ridiculous to use those KO defeats to prove his durability.

    Frazier was over-the-hill at the time. Tyson was stopped by Holyfield at a similar stage of his career.
    You think Frazier would be stopped by Douglas ?

    Foreman.

    If there is any heavyweight with the chin to withstand Mike's punches, and the power to stop his onslaught, it is Big George.

    What I think as well man I just listed those fights for people to look at. I put up the Berbick fight just to show that Tyson being pushed back didn't somehow completely take him out of his game, it didnt make much of a difference because he wasnt an inside fighter.

    Frazier was an inside fighter, that's why him getting pushed back resulted in him getting bounced up and down like a yo yo.
     
  5. berbick could not do it even ok, because he did not have the strength of foreman, a short puncher must hit ALWAYS in the short distance.

    You're pigeonholing yourself and gonna be grouped with Combat aka Foreman Hook aka downgoesfrazier with those kinds of arguments. If Tyson is winning early rounds with ease and is dominating, 100% of the time he goes on to win his fights with ease and domination. When has Tyson folded after taking a few punches?
     
  7. said the biggest tyson fanboy....
    it is because tyson never faced a puncher even close to george foreman with his physical strength, with good chin and great heart

    No pressure fighter in history is beating Foreman period, going forward against Foreman is sucide, Foreman at his peak was a murderer.

    Mikes the man, but Foreman would of ripped his head off

    OMG XPERT POST M8!! :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

    Foreman PROVED he could DESTROY a Grade A, ATG GREAT PRESSURE FIGHTER , called Kenny Norton who did beat Ali in 1973. Tyson a worse pressure fighter then Kenny, cos he would only beat 1976-1981 Ali, NOT a Great Ali like Norton won. BRAVE Norton lasted 2 Rounds - Tyson would get smashed about like a ****ing weak little ragdoll ***** And FLOORED in Round 1 - BUT he would NOT get up, he quit on teh floor in Round 1, Maybe teh 1st minute of teh round. :deal:deal

    Old Foreman DESTROYED Prime Bert Cooper - forcing him to quit like Tyson did VS Holyfeild 2 And McBide.

    Bert Cooper trained by Joe Frazier And have a v.Similar style to Mike Tyson And he v.fast like Tyson.

    Big George Foreman would DESTROY Tiny Tinkerbell Tyson with teh UPPERCUT.

    Tyson was ALWAYS v.Easy to hit with teh UPPERCUT - IF you stood-up to him And were not scared, it a XPERT FACT. :deal

    Just when I thought this thread was safe. :hat

    I'm a fan of Foreman as well. And Ali, and Dempsey, and Louis, and Holyfield, and Bowe, and quite a few others.

    Oh yeah, Tyson knocks out Foreman in teh 5th round of most facts fight that is only teh reality:deal
