    Google "Why we never saw Foreman vs Tyson". Read up and learn your history before you comment.

    Here's a fun little game...go on boxrec and look up Tysons record. Usimg 6'3 as the over/under, find who you think Mikes best 6 or so opponents are for the over, as well as the under. Compare results of the fights with the over against those with the under.

    By doing this, you will begin to understand that Mike Tyson is just like everybody else in that their ability to defeat and or knock out good fighters drops considerably with an increase in size advantage for the opponent. Once you have looked at the large men Tyson lost to or struggled with till the end, then imagine what a Klitschko would do to the poor little guy.

    Your welcome.

    bigger men have advantages, anyone knows this.

    now check out tysons record. he beat them all until his fall from grace.

    the bigger they were the harder the fell. And the K bros would fall HARDest of all.


    unless you mean some K bros other than the ones who, in their absolute primes, got ousted in 200 seconds by a failed 38 year old HW or stopped by a former WW, MW and LHW.

    What's all the fuss about Jimi Hendrix? He played a few songs and had a short prime.

    He's done very little since age 27 so he's clearly a hype job :rasta

    Prison was the death of Tyson. It was plainly obvious that he was a different person in and out of the ring after that, then went on to fight the great heavyweights of the era.

    I think it was Azzer85 that posted in the classic forum a while ago why we didnt see the fight, was a really interesting read. Might be worth going for a look if it was.

    No point telling this moron, ive told him multiple times already. But because he loves Foreman/hates Tyson so much, his vision is clouded :patsch

    Lewis never dominated Tyson, Tyson knocked Lewis through the ropes.

    Lennox Lewis HBO documentary 'I dont want to fight this guy (Tyson), hes an animal'

    If Lewis apparently dominated Tyson in sparring....why was he so sh** scared of the version that he fought in 2002? the one that had one foot in retirement

    Tyson was a product of the media. Guy was obliterated against every real fighter he ever fought.

    id say Holyfield took a whole lot more

    Tyson fought Lewis in '02 and fought Williams in '04, hardly a massive gap
