Without getting into PED use and illegal tactics, Holyfield definitely could take a punch ... But his ability to recover is what is most amazing ... He could bounce back from being hurt in a matter of moments
Nut just from being hurt, he could also look like he was completely gassed out the way he would lay on the other guy and look completely limp in a clinch and then start bouncing again as soon as they got seperated. Extraordinary willpower.
That was an off balance punch...Foreman's uppercuts in the 7th round land solidly and with more weight behind them. Foreman was close to 260 pounds and credits being stronger in his come back to weight training. Foreman at 220/225 wouldn't hit harder. Holyfields chin? Well the video you posted actually show cases Foreman's chin by far ... Lol
Holyfield landed 225 power shots on Foreman. Holyfield didn't fight as many big HWs who could punch as Foreman did...but he did take Tyson's shots ( barely..he was rocked early with a uppercut ) but Foreman is not so easily rocked as Holyfield was. Both had great chins but Foreman was never taken off his feet in his comeback and he was always taking direct punches BC of his weaker point which was defense. I think Tyson would have TKO'd him in 1991. I think Tyson defeats both of them in that time period.
It would depend on Tyson's conditioning and how hard he trained for both of them. But there is no doubt George will face a tougher challenge dealing with Tyson's punches to the face, if Stewart could batter George Tyson will do even more damage but he will also have to be elusive, quick on his feet and deal with Foreman's pushing back tactics, will have to counter punch as well to the point George becomes demoralized, i bet if George lands his best shots on Tyson and Tyson is still standing there, that will totally demoralize him.
Foreman wasn't a combo puncher, he threw one punch at a time and his two shots at a time would be like slow motion for Tyson. Tyson himself was never hurt with just one punch and his chin is highly underrated so Foreman would need a bit of luck to get a win over Tyson BC Tyson's losses were from accumulation ,let alone a early 90's Tyson? I don't see Foreman winning this one.
Don't mind Sad. She's just a Tyson fanboy who think's he'd beat anyone. I wouldn't take anything she says to seriously.
Balls, Holyfield took Tyson's shots with aplomb. To say he "barely" took Tyson's shots is utter BS but not unexpected.
I said he was rocked by A Tyson uppercut, I never mention PUNCHES that Tyson couldn't hurt him with..you need to actually watch the fight though right? Lol If you actually knew something on this topic , you would also know Tyson didn't land many flush shots BC of Holyfields lateral movement and credits that along with rolling with shots for not getting knocked out in which he stated Foreman hit him harder BC he just didn't stand in front of Tyson. You need to also learn to read and read carefully so you stop looking foolish on this forum and be less fast to reply with idiotic responses as well, right?
Younger Foreman hit harder for sure. Foreman himself even said he didn't throw the same punches he did when he was younger. He was literally trying to behead guys when he was younger.
LOL We'll never know but we certainly can have varying opinions on the issue The bolded part shows you take yourself and your viewpoint way too seriously.
