Prime Mike Tyson vs 70's George Foreman

George was an absolute Monster was only TKOd once in a long career and that was by a legend in Ali,Tyson liked to finish his fights early and did not like being taken to later rounds,George knocks him out in 8 just to powerfull.!!!!

 

Prime Tyson would be far to mobile for Foreman, people need to take off the rose tinted glasses.

 

Wonder why this really never happen ..Foreman was very dangerous at the time ..Tyson was also far removed from Cus by then..

 

Funny how Tyson supporters say you cannot include the Douglass fight in Tyson's "prime". Gee, he was what, 23 at that time? No all time great athelete has ever been washed up at 23, barring catastrophic injury. If Tyson was really what Tyson's supporters think he was, he couldn't have been so diminished by the age of 23. True boxing talents don't forget how to be great at 23; they are just on the rise towards mastery.

The result of the Douglass fight would have happened even with Rooney on board.

 

This

 

Have to disagree if Rooney were on board for the Douglas fight.He would have been much better prepared for the likes of Douglas .

 

And Foreman won a World Title at 46 years of age and went the distance with a prime Holeyfield when he was 42 Big George in his prime defeats Tyson.!!!!

 

I think prime Mike Tyson was just too dam fast and that would eventually be the difference in this match..

 

All I'm sure of is that it would be one hell of a fight.

 

please, Frazier's chin and balance was ****, Tyson takes Foreman's best shot and attacks with thunderous combos... Larry Holmes is better than Foreman and look what Tyson did to him... Holmes was still a heavyweight contender, after the Tyson fight he went like 23-3 so its all bull**** saying Holmes was at the end of his career Tyson kicked his ass, it's surprising Holmes is still alive

 

Larry Holmes was practically shot.

Winning as 52 year old against Butterbean isn't a big feat unless you're a brawler or an inside fighter.

 

Prime Foreman, 6'3 225-230, not big enough for Mike

 

Butterbean was his last fight... He went 21 wins -2 losses after the Tyson fight and he beat up undefeated Ray Mercer.. he wasn't shot at all for the Tyson fight, stop hiding the facts

 

this could go either way imo. As hard as Tyson hit, he wouldn't KO George. If it went the distance, Tyson on points. But George also has a chance to KO Tyson. The difference in chins might be the difference between winning and losing.
