    I agree, especially when you factor he went on to face a younger stronger puncher in Ruddock, twice!

    Surely the argument is Foreman is death to swarming style fighters he did knock out Cooper and Morrison ran all night probably the best swarming style fighters apart from Tyson at the time. Tyson has done some silly things in his life time, to stand in front of George Foreman though was not one of them.

    I think Tyson could have had problems against old George simply because his mind wasn't right.

    Foreman fought with real serenity in his comeback, very measured and calm. Pretty much the opposite of Tyson. George wasn't going to be intimidated by Mike and would have been a massive sentimental favourite. All these things together could have made Mike crack before he even entered the ring.

    Who knows really except Tyson himself? It would have been a massive fight at the time.

    Am I right in saying that every single post you've made on this forum so far has been a negative one about Mike Tyson?

    Tyson vs Holyfield was supposed to happen after Holyfield KO'd Douglas but Tyson went to jail, that's why it was called the biggest fight that never happened in 96 when they finnally fought...
