@capablemachine Tyson turned down 20 million in 1989 to fight Foreman while still champ ? As far as the top ten was Ali in the top ten when he fought Holmes being retired 2 years ? Was Holmes in the top ten when he fought Tyson being retired 2 years his last two fights were loses to Spinks ? Was Sugar Ray Leonard in the top ten when he took the middleweight title away from Marvin Hagler being retired 3 years ? Was Leonard in the top ten when he got a shot at Camacho's title being retired 6 years
IF Foreman unretired in the early 80s, Larry Holmes was at least 5 years younger, and Holyfield became a heavyweight a few years earlier, Tyson DEFINITELY NEVER wouldve been an undisputed champion....maybe not at all. Tyson fans love to overrate him, saying his losses to Holyfield & Lewis were flukes----even though they were by far the 2 best opponents Tyson ever had
Bobby Hitz was 6'2 max. Foreman was 6'4 though for sure. People always wonder about George's height but he was taller than Norton,Lyle,Ali and all of them were 6'3.
I love how people think that Tyson was avoiding old Foreman. Very few people believed Foreman was a legitimate challenger. Tyson was fighting legitimate challengers in the late 80's.
@allankles No,It is a fact that Tyson was afraid of Foreman. Cus had Mike convinced that a short swarmer couldnt beat Big George and whatever Cus said was fact to Mike.
@muclesmarinara This 88/89 when people are saying this. Cus died in 86 and never saw Mike's 3 year title reign. So it's got nothing to do with Cus and just folk tales by Foreman fans who don't know that no one considered Foreman a legitimate elite heavy weight at the time. In 88 people were asking Foreman to fight a young top heavyweight so as to prove he deserved to be in there with Mike. If Mike had fought him in 88/89, he wouldn't have been praised for fighting a top challenger.
@muclesmarinara And Mike might have been a swarmer but he wasn't a typically swarmer. Fought with very good balance, was rarely there for an easy uppercut.
You mean legit challengers like Trevor Berbick (who actually actually had some trouble with a Muhammad Ali in almost as bad shape as he is today) & Bonecrusher Smith (who lost to a Bobby Hitz type THE SAME YEAR he fought Tyson)? HAHAHA!!
Lets just say that Michael Moorer (who Foreman beat to win the title in 1994) was EQUAL TO/BETTER THAN 90% of the top "challengers" during Tysons reign
@jjwilson3345 Moore had a cruiserweight's chin though. Tyson would've destroyed him. Styles make fights yes, but George was more hittable, slower in both hand and foot to Tyson. To say that Tyson wouldn't have chewed up Moore is wishful thinking.
At the height of his powers few were standing up to Mike, at his best in his generation only a prime 80's Holyfield would beat him or at least have a chance at beating him imo. People bring up the Douglas fight, but he was ill prepared for that fight.
Exactly why Moorer is equal to Tysons opponents as champ (including an ancient Holmes). Like I said, if the prime 1979-1983 Larry Holmes fought Tyson, Holmes has a very good chance of winning (just the fact that young Holmes beat a few huge guys with Tysons punching power & more endurance than Tyson). And Tyson-Foreman----NOT THAT old Foreman is better but Foreman KILLED fighters camping in his range (Tysons style). And Tyson struggle bringing down bigger George like Lennox Lewis.
@jjwilson3345 Lennox Lewis is not a bigger George. Lennox was a better defensive fighter and had better reflexes and speed. Leaving alone all that, Tyson was well out of his prime when he fought Lennox, so I don't see how that even factors when you're assessing Tyson, picking an old slower version of him.
Also I love how you diss guys like Berbick as if Tyson had problems with Berbick. And Bonecrusher stinked up the joint. Do u know how many HWs have had stinkers? Legendary HWs?
So with my point of Michael Moorer="contenders" during Mikes reign & the fact that Foreman beat Moorer at age 45, I don't see why Foreman couldn't have held AT LEAST 1 belt during Tysons reign. That first Moorer post was mainly aimed at the morons who say Tyson didn't fight old Foreman because he was fighting REAL contenders. Tyson is LUCKY he wasn't 20 years old during the Ali-Frazier Era or even the 90s with Holyfield.
@jjwilson3345 Tyson would have been great in any era imo. Only a seriously blind or deluded fan would dismiss how special Tyson was. Fighters with the combination of speed, power and coordination of Tyson are almost never seen. Before Tyson there wasn't a single fighter in history with his type of power combined with the level of speed Tyson brought. Not Fraizer, not Liston, not Dempsey, not Marciano and not even Joe Louis.
Agreed. His only weakness was his height and reach. Once he lost his blazing speed and couldn't move in an out as well he became vulnerable, especially to tall fighters.
How about a prime Tyson v. Holfield, Bowe and Lewis?
@jjwilson3345 Tyson was a buzzsaw with regards to heavy weights. No heavyweight like him before nor after. His biggest weakness would have been versartility. He could give anyone hell physically but if he doesn't get you out of there quickly, what options does he have left? This was Tyson's biggest draw back. But inside 6 rounds, few were as dangerous and few could much his physicality let alone overcome it early in a fight.
watch the punch, it didn't land that good, and bobby put his hands in front of him when he was going down.and if a punch does knock you face down like that, you don't suddenly get up totally fine either.
foreman knows too, he isn't offering "words of consolation" in the corner. it's obvious he's telling hitz off, just look at their body language.
@Robstailey it looked like it landed clean enough to me on the first replay, not perfect but dont forget how hard this man punches. Hitz just wasn't a great boxer and any journeyman or lower stature boxer getting hit by a foreman right is going down. no dive.
I didnt know who George was till I seen him on USA tuesday night Fights (His comeback when he was around 39) I was like whos this chubby old guy till I seen him start fighting and I was like OMG this guy is for real...He then became my Idol watched all his comeback fights to try to regain the title...hes still my idol to this day 20 years later...thanks George you changed my life im now 43..
Tyson beat Larry Holmes, who beat Ali, who beat Foreman. I know this is stupid point. I think peak Tyson would be second best heavyweight after Ali. Foreman is probably worse that Lennox Lewis. So I'd say he is 4th all time. But what he achieved at this age is obviously better than almost any fighter I know of. Inspiring.
6:33 that gut check right there was what sealed the deal. Man, Foreman just doesn't throw any soft stuff at ya. Every punch, even the jab is thrown like a straight...
@BringerOfTheTruth But instead it was Foreman who got the shot at Holyfield ahead of Tyson ? Which Holyfield said hit him the hardest . Tyson was scared shitless of the style matchup with Foreman . Foreman is the strongest of all HW champs with the highest ko% till the age of 46 with a record of 73-4 with 68 ko's for a 88.3 ko% . He also has 46 knockouts in less then 3 rds which is more then any other HW champ . Thats why the fight never took place for any amount of money . Make sense retard
@BringerOfTheTruth But WHAT WAS THE EXCUSE when on June 16th 1990 Tyson and Foreman fought on the same card . Where Tyson fought unranked Henry Tillman who beat him twice in the amatuers and cost him olympic gold . While Foreman fought TOP CONTENDER Aldison Rodrigues ? Both King and Arum wanted this MEGA BUCKS SHOWDOWN ? The public wanted to see it and Foreman begged for the fight . The fastest way for Tyson to get his title back was to beat Foreman in 1990 and get Holyfield in ealy 91
@BringerOfTheTruth WHY DON"T YOU BRING THE TRUTH ??? Foreman fought the same fighters Tyson did on his climb Zouski , Jaco , Young , Jameson ? In 1989 Tyson was offered 25 million to defend title against Foreman but the excuse was Foreman never faced a TOP CONTENDER ? Even though Foreman was borderline top 10 anyways after beating the Tyson clone Bert Cooper which ranked him 11 ? But basically the problem was the top contenders were avoiding Foreman . # 1 contender Carl THE LIAR Williams was one
@Maryjaneslave Easy to be calm knowing you aren't fighting anyone remotely close to competition and is obviously afraid. Hitz is barely a journeyman let alone someone that could really fight.
@Richdanahuff: True, but George keeps the same composure even when fighting good fighters. Holyfield, Moore, Morrison. The whole standing up in his corner after rounds is genius I thought.
@Maryjaneslave That's true I don't think its a gift as much as it being the only way he now in his older age knows how to fight. Foreman was never a very good boxer he was a 1 trick pony in his youth and his 2nd career. He had 1 speed, 1 defense trick, 1 way to keep you in range ( pushing) Foreman had strength, size and power the rest he lacked.
The funny thing about old foreman is that he just whip you on the chin, he is so heavy and big that he doesn´ t need to do much! He doesn´ t want to literally kill people like the Roman fight which must be consideret one of (if not) the hardest punch ever landet!!!
@pfitzger2e1 Sure Tyson ran from Foreman because foreman beat up top 900-1000 part time truck drivers while Tyson was destroying top 10. Makes sense retard.
@lhwood777 You heard what Tyson said about Foreman as well huh? Tyson fans (which i am) don't want to believe that Tyson was scared shitless about fighting Big George.
@muclesmarinara "scared" is an interesting word--for sure Tyson didn't want to fight him after Douglas. Would you? Everybody said "Foreman's old and shot," Tyson said "HE'S TOO DANGEROUS"--who was right? Tyson--Foreman went on to KO an undefeated heavyweight champion a few years later. Tyson knew it was 40-1 Tillman could beat him--but maybe only 2 to 1 with old George (only beaten by decision after that--nobody KOed him except Ali, who exhausted his young, dumb ass.) "Scared"--for good reason.
People are ripping on Hitz for running. But yeah, think about it. George is built like a tank. You can't hurt him with body shots. You can't knock him out. You can't take his punches. So what can you do? Run! I don't blame him. Run and try to wear him down, or....who knows!?!
i agree 100% , for this motive prime tyson avoided old foreman. foreman would destroy tyson.(styles). stronger,harder puncher,better chin.more heart,bigger,heavier,reach...
Well, George Foreman is an intimidating man ! And with his reputation as well, I can understand that Bobby Hitz didn't feel like trading punches with such a huge formidable knock out machine ...
ph, why don't you go down to Houston, any Sunday you can find George at the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ just north of town. Go on in and punch George square in the mouth. THEN you have earned the right to call Hitz a pussy, you bad man.
Hehe, well, my friend, I don't necessarily think Bobby IS a pussy, I'm just saying he fought like one. I have nothing at all against Mr. Hitz and he could probably kick my behind.
However, for a prizefighter, he tried to run a little too much. That's why I said he fought like a pussy. It was a a gross mismatch; I believe that's his only excuse for fighting that way.
george is slow, has little technique. other than that his defense is deceptive and is actually not bad at all. u cant tell when hes on defense. he never stops coming at you and ya cant hurt tha big guy. his power will end you eventually.
its like watchin ur old man put an ass whoopin on sum1 he's slow but You know theres sumthin so sinister behind that left or right the young man dont stand a chance
Foreman was babied whn he came back - but in the early days a great warrior with abilities that included scareing his opponents until Ali put the Freddy Kruger in him
He wasn't really Ko'd, it was the two huge lefts to the body earlier that made him decide he had enough. it's funny watching champs wipe out low rankers again when they make comebacks. you can really see the difference in genetic ability.
im really curious about where people get these numbers from? i heard somewhere else that shavers was rated at 1600. if someone could supply a website or anything on this information id be very thankful indeed :)
George looks so casual about the fight. It's like he's almost bored, which is very cool. Can you imagine getting hit with that right hand? Holy shitballs.
The late, GREAT Archie Moore in Foreman's corner!

thanks for putting up this vid, Foreman is in a class of his own, what a legendary fighter. One of the toughest I've ever seen.

george is slow, has little technique. other than that his defense is deceptive and is actually not bad at all. u cant tell when hes on defense. he never stops coming at you and ya cant hurt tha big guy. his power will end you eventually.

Foreman was babied whn he came back - but in the early days a great warrior with abilities that included scareing his opponents until Ali put the Freddy Kruger in him

He wasn't really Ko'd, it was the two huge lefts to the body earlier that made him decide he had enough. it's funny watching champs wipe out low rankers again when they make comebacks. you can really see the difference in genetic ability.

hitz is now a box promotor.
foreman had a (record) punsh measured +1500 psi per square inch
thank god he never used his hips and right foot: he'd kill a man
I'would not like to box him even at his current age

im really curious about where people get these numbers from? i heard somewhere else that shavers was rated at 1600. if someone could supply a website or anything on this information id be very thankful indeed :)

George looks so casual about the fight. It's like he's almost bored, which is very cool. Can you imagine getting hit with that right hand? Holy shitballs.
