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

[verbaltelekinesis]

Man listen, I don't know if nikkas know exactly when Prime Mike was, it was at no time after Cus died or he left Rooney.

Mike right before Cus died is beating the shyt out of any heavyweight EVER!!

Cus had his head movement on 10, footwork on 10, body punching on 10, speed on 10 and he had him letting his hands go. I mean he was a GAWD DAMNED HEAVYWEIGHT throwing lightning quick 4 and 5 punch combinations. That shyt is not fair! You not supposed to be able to hit like you got bricks for fists, but move your hands like you got wings on your fingers.

I'm sorry, nobody beats a prime Mike!!!

Was this nikka in his prime when he fought Foreman?

Do you nikkas even read


This why i need to stick to these discussions with cats in The Ring maybe. Ali was the fastest Foreman ever fought and that wasn’t even young Ali or even the prime Ali that you posted in your vid


So you think Mike wasn’t just as fast as an older Ali when Mike was in his prime?

Apparently, you must not not realize that Ali was using a strategy of laying on the ropes to let Foreman punch himself out in the Zaire/Congo heat. Ali knew that he could not punch with Foreman so he lay on the ropes to let Foreman wear himself out.

As for Tyson he was was not going to do anything against Foreman, but get knocked out. Foreman was one of if not the hardest punchers in boxing history. He beat the shyt out of Joe Frazier. He knocked Frazier down 6 times in two rounds. Tyson is a little smaller than Frazier so he would have stood no chance against George Foreman. Tyson in his prime struggled with Buster Douglas. How was he going to match up with hard punching Foreman?


What people seem to also forget is that Foreman beat the shyt out of Ken Norton too. Norton was another rough customer in that era.

Not doubting you but who knocked him down? I watched dozens and ive never seen breh get rocked

ahh i forgot about Ron Lyle. I stand corrected. Ron Lyle was really underrated. He could have been a ATG if he didnt do 12 years in the Pen. Thats one of my favorite fights and totally forgot he knocked Big George down. They were like Rock em sock em Robots. Foreman was throwing bombs in that fight too tho.

Jimmy Young fight i never saw but thats the one i heard made him retire. I think he had a stroke or some shyt in the dressing room

nikka everyone knows that Ali was using a strategy to beat Foreman... do you even know what it’s called


Wtf does that got to do with the fact that even old Ali was still the fastest opponent Foreman faced? And Tyson isn’t as fast as out-of-prime Ali???


Who do you think hit harder... Ali or Tyson


Bottom line you non-boxing nikkas are missing is that PRIME Mike Tyson would’ve been fine against OLD, SLOW, RETIRED FOR 10 YEARS George Foreman.

And again, like I said a thousand times in this thread, Tyson was not Joe fukkin Frazier

And did you just say Tyson was smaller than Joe Frazier??? Tyson was slightly shorter and weighed more while being faster, a better puncher, more elusive, better footwork, and an overall better boxer in his prime
