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

[Knicksman20]

Tyson's one of my favorite fighters but a prime Foreman probably brutally stops him.

Older Foreman could win but the main issue he'd have to contend with is the hand & foot speed of Tyson. Prime Tyson could catch him with something he doesn't see & hurt him really bad or stop him.

Not comparing the fighters but just the hand & foot speed:

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

You avoided my question.

You avoided my question.

tyson was set up to fight duck fighters to gain easy victorys it wasn't until buster, evander, and lennox that he choked in the ring because he was getting used to money grab fights.

Buster was a loser. Let's get that out the way. Again, Ruddock and Bruno were highly regarded. Ruddock beat Lewis btw. You sound like you just a hater.

[TheBigBopper]

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

Resting.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

I think Foreman could've taken Tyson imo

Yeah... I think Cus was basically like don’t do it or some shyt like that.... Tyson even said that Foreman was slick like a fox and wasn’t gonna get in the ring with him like that

Wasn't Joe Frazier comparable to Mike Tyson?

Only in stature

Tyson could get you outta there with either hand & had just about every punch in his offensive arsenal. He also had faster hands/feet

 

[3rd Ward Swangin]

I heard stories foreman used to terrorize his hood as a bully

He did bully small dudes in 5th Ward till he got ran back to Marshall Texas. His nickname was Monkey and my uncle had a fight with him. This was middle school and high school stuff though.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Foreman didn't jab tho

Exactly

Like wtf is the dudes talking about.

ofcourse foremans power would be an issue but lets not act like Mike wasn’t a faster boxing with better mobility and power in both hands..

This wasn’t Joe Frazier and that wasn’t the Foreman of old. Tyson was a whole different breed at that point

 

[O.T.I.S.]

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.

Tyson fought short but he wasn’t short... another reason why he was kinda dangerous at his size.

Any real boxer with experience will tell you speed isn't everything. That's why Lomacheno disposed of Gary Russell with ease and Russell is one of the fastest boxers on the planet

George steam rolled everybody and damn near had Ali. George lost because he tired himself out.
Mike would've went toe to toe with George and got knocked out
