    Yeah, to be fair you are new, and i'm here a lot. It's fine to want to discuss it again, I was just being grouchy.

    I think Tyson has a much better chance than you indicate though. Foreman's threw a lot of broadsides. Against a super-concise puncher with superb and very quick footwork, he is vulnerable. Of course, the excellent chin doesn't hurt, but that works both ways.

    I think fast-handed combination punchers who can get inside and get off first would trouble Foreman, i.e. Louis and Tyson.

    It's close in my opinion, but I'd think George starts getting through after the first two rounds of getting countered and tagged.

    Foreman KO3

    i will go for foreman to win purely for the fact that in a fight where both would land pretty well i feel he would be a little more durable

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    I guess I really got under your skin. BTW, if we're taking a prime Tyson it's the one who beat Spinks, not Berbick, but the fight would be similiar to Berbick when Tyson eventually knocks Foreman out with his blazing fast combo's to the body and head.

    Tyson's jab, counterpunching,(another thing he was great at pre Rooney) and defense(which he doesn't get enough credit for) would be the key to him taking Foreman out. Foreman throw too many loopning punches to hit Tyson, he'd never hit him, ala bonecrusher, and once Foreman Taste the fire, he'd either hold like bonecrusher or fight and get knocked out. He had heart, so I think it would be the latter. It wouldn't matter though because skill, and speed will always beat will. And Tyson had both over Foreman, and Mike had the power too something foreman wouldn't be use to.

    And please don't compare Fazier to Tyson, Frazier was a small heavyweight, he was 205Ibs. in his prime, mike was 218 pds. of solid muscle, and strong like a bull. The way to have a chance against a prime Tyson is a great athurative jab(foreman never had) and you have to circle mike, something Douglas was doing(he was much better boxer than Foreman) and Holyfield. Holyfield would give a prime Tyson fits(but Foreman ain't tactician like Holyfield) but Foreman would be easy for a prime Tyson.

    So basically to sum it up, it would be great boxer puncher vs. a crude slugger and Mayarga found that out when he fought Trinidad, who was way more fundamentally sound, and is why he was so much of an easy Target, Foreman would be the same for a prime Tyson. Easy fight Tyson.

    Foreman KO1 Tyson.

    It a FACT - Foreman would DESTROY Tyson.

    Tyson is a Crappy-Frazier IMO And Foreman DESTROYED Prime Frazier.

    Styles ALWAYS makes fights And even Cuz D'tomato knows Foreman ****ing murders swarmers, cos Frazier is teh best swarmer with teh best head-movement And Foreman MURDERED PRIME Frazier in 2 Roundz And bounced him about like a bloody bouncy-ball.

    Foreman KTFO Tyson in teh 1st round, cos Tyson wont get up from a HAYMAKER Uppercut-of-****. :deal


    Foreman Hoooooooook!:hat

    No, i'm not a fanboy, i've watched both, you just can't accept my stance on it, because your a fanboy of Mr. Foreman. And a Prime Joe Frazier was the 205ibs. the one that fought Ali the first time in Madison square garden. Frazier was never same after that fight, so maybe you should do your homework.

    I pick Foreman by KO, don't know what round, but Tyson's style plays into Big George's hands. A stoppage is inevitable in this one. I think Iron Mike will do better than Frazier did, though.

    Please. Cus never even lived long enough to see how Mike developed. And lets not forget Foreman was outboxed by gregario Peralta and Jimmy Young who wouldn't even last with the best 80's heavy's kicked Foremans ass.

    V.Good Xpert point of FACTS m8. :thumbsup

    Frazier was PRIME And 214lbs of Pure-Muscles in teh 1st fight And v.nearly muscley in teh 2ND fight at 224lbs. Tyson only 221lbs VS Berbick so he still canny SMALLER then teh Norton-Fight BIG George. :deal
