Video footage of Mike Tyson’s amateur bout as a 12-17 year old against a 23 year old.

When Mike Tyson was eleven years old, Teddy Atlas put him on the phone with his idol, Joe Frazier. He told Frazier that he was so mad at seeing Foreman beat him that one day he would grow up and he would beat George Foreman FOR HIM. It brought a tear to Frazier's eye and he thanked the young man for his passion and told him he believed him, that one day he would beat up George H.W. Foreman for him as AN ACT of VENGEANCE for the KO defeats which Frazier had suffered twice against George. And then the day came. Foreman made a comeback and called MIke out. It was time to respond and fulfill the destiny he'd laid forth on that earlier, most fateful day. So, Tyson quickly avoided the fight with Foreman and decided instead to beat the holy shirt outta Joe Frazier's son, and then proceeded to bite Kevin McHale (of McHale's Navy fame) on the nipple after the match, in the stands.

 

He was 6ft4 and a clubbing mummy-like banger, awkward as hell and a grown man. So probably. Three rounds was not enough rounds for Mike to catch up with the running style, long jabs on the move with no infighting or body punching in ams.

 

So was Audley Harrison

 

That fraud was nearly 29 and just mastered the new amateur scoring system of touching headguard with pillow for 4x2

 

Mark how could you possibly think Tyson was 12 in that video. Please say it was a typo

 

How stupid do you have to be to embarrass yourself like the thread starter did here ???

 

I thought I saw the answer to your question beneath it but it actually said Serbian Loudmouth likes this. There's a sentence if ever there was one that could've ended two words earlier.

 

17 year old Tyson was a man-child prodigy making great waves in the heavyweight amateur circuit. 17 year old Foreman had never put a glove on. That's not to say Foreman doesn't beat Tyson later down the line in their boxing careers but, in a boxing match between one 17 year old who has been boxing for years with a world-renowned trainer and is on the cusp of being selected for the Olympics and another 17 year old who has never been in a gym but can lift a cow, I know where I'd be putting my money.

I'd just need to find someone daft enough to back a 17 year old who had never boxed. Surely such a buffoon doesn't exist...?

 

Considering Foreman hadn't even touched a glove at 17, I would doubt that.

 

No kidding!?! Dang!

 

Foreman didnt come back till a year after Tyson wiped out Marvis.

I know you made the whole thing up but at least get your time frame right.

 

You'll be hearing from my lawyer. Jamal Robinsonstein. Good day to you, sir.

 

Easy done. What, with the 2 key being so close to the 7.

 

Ah, but the Foreman who lost the title to Ali and came back in 1987 was George E. Foreman. Boxed Ears named George H.W. Foreman.
