the full sequence is joe frazier getting knocked out in 2 rounds.



and if you stood right in front of him, which he would, he'll keep punching until one of them lands.
Again, you are selling the best scenario. You come in with a game plan, Foreman misses and is left open.

He can keep punching, but Mike will be throwing and moving too. George's lack of defense will be his downfall.

he will be throwing. but he wont be moving. he will be standing right in front of foreman, bobbing and weaving, like frazier did. since he'd be bobbing and weaving, he would be exposing himself to foreman's uppercuts, like frazier did. thats not a best case scenario. thats what would happen. tyson sets up all his punches with his slipping motions. tyson wont get a chance to get his punches off if foreman keeps hitting him every time he ducked his head. thats why he beat frazier.

I've already posted a video. That jab/uppercut scenario isn't as money as you are selling it.

Tyson will make him miss and counter. Can't say the same for George. That will be the difference.

Fight would play out like De la Hoya-Pacquiao. Everyone thinks the bigger guy will be too much. When they get in the ring, the bigger guy won't land the punch and will be too slow to stop anything.

its more likely that foreman stops tyson in the same manner he stopped frazier, for the same reasons, given the same similarities. your comparison of this fight to dela hoya and pacquiao is just bizarre.

foreman reach & strength would keep mike away

he used to push motherfukkers around the ring

smothering shots catching parrying shots & even if you get to him his chin was adamantium

It's bizarre because you are completely sold.

well i just watched it again since its only 2 rounds. i think he might have landed two left hooks in between being knocked down six times. it was hard for frazier to even get into range to punch since all foreman had to do was push him. are you aware that manny pacquiao is a southpaw?

I think Tyson blitzes big George before he really gets a chance to get in the fight.

Foreman was that dude, but he was slow and his punches were telegraphed as fukk. He made it work for him, but against a smaller guy who can get inside and under and between those bombs while delivering his own faster bombs, he'd be food.

All that shyt about Tyson being shook of dude was just Mike listening to the old heads keep repeating that Foreman's style was all wrong for him. It's partially true, but styles don't make fighters. Fighters make the style. Frazier and Tyson had comparable styles, but both were better at certain things then the other. Joe was mentally tougher and had more endurance than Mike, but he wasn't as quick and explosive, nor did he have the offensive arsenal that Tyson had. I think Tyson definitely fairs better against Foreman than Frazier did.

Boxer punchers usually clip swarming type styles, but I feel like Tyson was better at his style than Foreman was at his.

Another reason this fight is so intriguing, whether it's 25 year-old Foreman or 40 plus year old Foreman is because both Tyson and Foreman had legendary chins. The difference is Tyson never lost a decision all his losses were by knockout

I'd pick prime Foreman but Tyson would be competitive

I just feel Foreman had his way of dealing with shorter opponents with his arms always controlling the opponent somehow, pushing them back, sticking his arms out after the punch to deny them from gaining momentum and things like that

Now Tyson would still give him fits with his speed and head movement but I feel Foreman would eventually knock him out

Tyson would have beaten the old version of Foreman though in the 90s
