    Foreman would KO the bum in 2 or 3 rounds.

    Foreman stops Tyson, probably early too. His style was just designed to destroy short brawlers.

    Tyson's chin better than Foreman's? No way

    I don't know how you can give him stamina either.

    I believe if you look at the type of fighters Tyson had serious problems with they were big. Tyson went the distance with James Smith and Razor Rudduck, now people are going to think the Tyson walks through Foreman? LOL yea right.

    Foreman was too big for him and I think KO's Tyson in the mid to late rounds. Foreman was a top 10 HW, Tyson barely makes my top 20.

    dream on man, most people foreman knocked out were bums in the 70s.
    and bonecrusher and ruddock were both bigger than foreman. and if you think he had problems with them you either havent watched the fights or are ******ed!
    crusher would have been disqualified now for holding on for dear life most the fight and ruddock took a beating twice on the canvas numerous times!
    so thats just null and void using that as a measuring stick!!
    truth is foreman didnt have the finese and style to pull a buster, his slow wild swing would get him counterd everytime untill he slowed and would prob get tko'd late of lose wide on points.

    Foreman would beat any version of Tyson with a broken leg and cancer of the *****.

    Tyson brutalized some decent fighters but noone anywhere near great. Foreman brutalized Frazier. Foreman will always look clumsy (which is why he was not taken seriously as a challenger for Frazier) but that can be so misleading. I see Tyson looking good in the first 2 - 3 rounds, but already taking shots that shatter his confidence. Eventually, Foreman's power will take a toll and Tyson never learned to come back from real adversity.

    That may be true hut he knocked out a fighter much greater than Tyson in two rounds. Tyson has nothing compared to that apart from a well past it, 2 years inactive Holmes.

    Fair enough if you want to pick Tyson, it's your opinion, but logically picking someone who was a beast in their prime but completely untested, as well as losing to Buster Douglas over possibly the biggest hitter of all time who holds a win over an ATG virtually in their prime whilst losing to the GOAT at heavyweight. Especially when you consider stylistically it's all wrong for Tyson there's just no logic behind it.

    I remember Bobby Czyz kept saying that "nobody stands..." line throughout the telecast of Tyson Holyfield I. Eventually Ferdie Pacheco corrected him and said the facts before them in the ring were proving otherwise.

    The same would be true of Foreman but with even more devastating results. Any reasonably young version of Foreman, even in his comeback, would beat Tyson.

    Yeah because that's how boxing works :patsch

    Out of interest, I used your same 10 categories for Foreman vs Frazier:

    1. Speed: Frazier
    2. Physical Strength: Foreman
    3. Chin: Foreman
    4. Heart: Frazier
    5. Agility/ability to move: Frazier
    6. Defense: Frazier
    7. Punching power: Foreman
    8. Combinations: Frazier
    9. Punch accuracy: Frazier
    10. Stamina: Frazier

    7-3 Frazier, not even close :lol:

    Well constructed argument there bro :good

    Right. This silly check list, even if done right, is not some predicter of outcomes.
