    Foreman beat 1 top 10 ranked fighter in his comeback and he was a mile behind on points in that fight aswell.

    Tyson never struggled or feared big imposing punchers.

    He beat Bonecrusher, Ruddock, Bruno, who weighed more than Foreman did in the 70s.

    Foreman was going life and death with Alex Stewart who made his face look like roswell.

    In comparison Tyson wiped out Alex Stewart in 60 seconds.

    Foreman was far too slow to beat Tyson at that stage in his career and he would get lit up like a Christmas tree.

    Holyfield landed 60 percent of his punches on Foreman can you imagine the damage Tyson would do to Foreman landing at that type of percentage ?

    Finally why would Tyson be scared of an old Foreman ? Which notable top 10 contenders was Foreman beating that would put the fear of god in Tyson ?

    I swear to God, Foreman's second career is so overhyped. All these legends, myths, numbers. Mainly based on a good promotion by a fat, likeable old man, his gift of a gab and media loving it.
