Foreman vs Tyson - It'll never happen but Tyson has been compared to Joe frazier in style, height, left hook, reach. So watch the two Foreman Frazier fights and see what would most likely happen.

@ggg657575ggl yes he was very good.... but still foreman had the style and the power to destroy tyson.

@Bucketheadhead Yeah he could but Patterson ALWAYS had a weak chin. People say Tysons chin is weak but when you watch his fights against Douglas, Holifield and Lewis they all had to punish him through out the fight. Tyson has never been dropped by 1 punch. If the match is 15 rounds then most likely TKO win to Ali, because Tyson said it himself, he didnt have alot of stamina and coupled with his style its must be very tiring. 12 round match then most likely UD to Ali.

@sparx2k9 Yes Liston did but he would no doubt have hit Tyson as well and he hit bloody hard, I wonder who would have wobbled first. Tyson was just a bigger, faster, stronger, crazier version of Floyd Patterson who Liston destroyed as if he wasn't there at all, so Liston COULD beat Tyson's style, whether he could beat Tyson well...it would be good to see.

For me, Ali would just be too swift and have too quick a jab for Tyson. Ali would take it the distance on points most likely.

@Bucketheadhead Tyson would have probably dropped him quick since Liston relied too much on being able to take punches.

Tyson VS Ali,

Now that would be a sight to see

[Bucketheadhead]

@sparx2k9 Remember Foreman hit very slowly even though it was so powerful and Tyson ducked and moved his head from side to side, so Foreman would have trouble catching him clean.

Anyway no point talking about what ifs, it would have been a very exciting fight no doubt.

Liston v Tyson would have been good as well.

[sparx2k9]

@Bucketheadhead Yeah theres no doubt Tyson will make it inside but when he does hes either gonna get clinched or pushed back. Fraizer had more heart though. Yeah can see Tyson dropping or wobbling Foreman but in the end Foreman would most likely win. Tysons best range is mid but so is Foremans. Im not saying Tyson doesnt have chance but according to the guy who trained him, he wouldnt win.

[Bucketheadhead]

@sparx2k9 Yes I know Tyson was not an inside fighter when I say get in I mean get past Foreman's reach. No fighter in history ever went after Foreman and succeeded but none of those fighters were as fast or hit as hard or consistently or ferociously as Mike Tyson.

Like I say Foreman is where I'd put my money but it wouldn't surprise me to see Foreman on the canvas.

[sparx2k9]

@Bucketheadhead Have you ever realised when Tyson got inside he got tangled up with his opponent, he alowed himself to get clinched alot. Tyson is best at mid range where he could unleash volleys of hooks and uppercuts where as Fraizer fought best with his head close to his opponents chest. Damato said to Tyson no boxer in HISTORY who went after Foreman, meaning brawlers and infighters, would win against him because he "was just too big and too powerful".

@sparx2k9 Man I think Tyson is underrated when compared with Foreman/Frazier/Ali. Tyson in his prime years had an almost perfect defense, he could get very low to the ground which would make it hard for a tall upright fighter like Foreman to hit him, his head movement was also impeccable and Foreman was an incredibly powerful but slow boxer I think Mike could quite easily dodge his punches. Mike was so fast and explosive also I think Foreman, and in fact anyone, would be in trouble fighting Mike
