So big ol George Foreman was afraid of short ol Mike tyson?

[Tom Foolery]

I summed this up in The Ring months ago. Foreman had no defense and was slow as shyt.

People never factor that into this match.

But breh speed don't trump height according to the coli oracles.

foreman got in the ring with fighters ready to box even if they had no chance of winning. tyson fought people with glass jaw, no grace cant go the distance etc, that is why he can get drop by someone like buster douglas. foreman gave you a lot of exciting matches. can u say the same for tyson

who did he fight that worth talking about... when you talk about foreman fights, you can go on for days about how good they were. these 2 second tyson fight was a joke and hbo wasn't having it

Negged for not knowing shyt about boxing

So Tyson being better than his opponents is a knock on Tyson?

 

[old pig]

I could absolutely see why @ 38 y/o foreman would be hesitant to fight mike tyson

no need to lie/exaggerate about how old he was @ the time

we are not knocking Tyson putting weak opponents against him is not a testament to his boxing skill and he pain for that later on

what makes you a expert.. you think what mike did in his early fights was boxing then clearly your out of your league in this topic. being drop by buster douglas proves my point. wheres your point

 

[jackson35]

Tyson was doing blow and fukking Japanese hookers the night before he got laid out by buster douglas. Bad comparison

that is a weak excuse, what do you think his peers was doing in the heavyweight division on the night before their biggest fights

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

All of these dudes were scared

Tyson said he was afraid every single match

They just worked past their fear, they didnt allow fear to control the outcome

Tyson was great at hiding that shyt

Cause breh looked at a breh’s soul when they touched gloves, pause

 

[3rd Ward Swangin]

He was 38. He's also 6'4.


He was 218 in his prime. And according to people who have met him He's 5'9.

I been in his presence and he not as short as he appear on television. I'm 6 feet tall. I was surprised by his height.

 

[jackson35]

Yes and what about Berbick, Bruno and Ruddock. You cherry picking to prove your shyt opinon.

the same berbick that fought a past his prime ali

I'm not sure what you are trying to say. He fought a past his prime Ali was he supposed to refuse the fight?

 

[True Darkseid]

He said he seen that man's demeanor and punching power. Height didn't have shyt to do with anything. Even right now l ask , which one of yall think yall can withstand his punch power.
And his defense wasn't no slouch either

I know I can box, but even with mike right now

I'll be
for real.

 

[Roid Jones]

lol @ some of the posts in here, at that moment in time Foreman was not doing anything to Tyson and would have got teed off on

when we watch a boxing match, we want to see a all out boxing match.. we want to see boxers fight boxer why would anyone want to see trever fight ali in the 80's
