    Foreman showed a great chin and tremendous durability and heart against HOlyfield, but in terms of actually doing damage and scoring points (and punches), Foreman wasn't that impressive against Holyfield. Foreman was a big, strong man who outweighed Holyfield by almost 50 pounds; that had a lot to do with his ability to last the 12 round distance though.

    Beating a 5'10 cowardly ****** like Tyson and beating the 6'3 or so Foreman are 2 different things. Douglas could keep Tyson away with his jab. Douglas couldnt do this against Foreman. Once you hit Tyson you took away his heart. This isnt true with Foreman. A 60 year old Foreman could beat Douglas on his best night. Its good to see alot of gay Tyson fanboys here though

    Your right. And Tyson was at his very worst that nite, so that wins gets blown up too much about douglas. He was certainly at his best the nite he fought Tucker, a competitive fight he got knocked out in and he definetly didn't look like no mister universe. Tucker at his best was better than Douglas and Tyson beat him easy in a lack luster performance but the difference was he showed up to fight and he had a good trainer in his corner that new his style. If Tyson looks like that against any of his previous opponents, he gets a paint job on him the same way because most of them were better than douglas.

    A decision for Douglas unless George connects late for a T.K.O.

    Pretty much like Foreman-Moorer.

    As far as Buster doesn't do anything stupid he should win by points
