The Truth
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
When did i say speed was everything?

but at that point, speed would’ve definitely been a factor against slower, lumbering George foreman... Thats how he lost to Holyfield who was shorter and 60lbs lighter.

And I wasn’t just saying hand speed, i was accounting mobility.. and you think Mike didn’t have timing as well?

In fact, Mike knocked out some guy in one round and Foreman struggled to beat that same guy in 10 round fight a year later...

And who you think punched harder, Mike or Ali? That wasn’t the same Foreman that fought Ali... he steamrolled everyone in the 70s and shyt

If we go that route why couldn't Mike knock out Holyfield who struggled against 43 yr old foreman?:unimpressed:

Like I said, speed and mobility wouldn't have been issues for Foreman, he been fighting faster dudes his entire career.

Because that was years later and not the same Tyson or Holyfield :gucci:

He was also head butting the shyt out of Tyson but thats not important.


I literally told your ass that it wasn’t the same Foreman that you said “was steamrolling through nikkas before Ali” that would’ve been fighting Tyson...

if thats the case I could’ve said Mike was steamrolling through everyone until Buster Douglas :mjlol: Foreman had lost 4 other times after Ali

nikkas sleep on Foreman. Dude had 80 fights and 68 KO's. He only lost 5 times. Only been knocked out ONCE, and that was Ali. . He went the distance with young KO artists like Briggs and Morrison when he was well into his 40s.

Tyson would have been throwing bombs, but old George's chin was granite. He would have ate them punches and Tyson gets frustrated he does dumb shyt.

Nobody sleeping on Foreman, we’re just saying that Tyson would’ve beat 38-44 year old Foreman who had retired for 10 years.

Still would’ve been a dangerous fight but highly possible. Tyson was Foremans motivation to come back, not vice versa. Tyson was running through everyone too... this wasn’t Joe Frazier with one punch and erratic head movement and this wasn’t 220lb Foreman that fought Ali and could move somewhat.
