Norton couldn't fight backing up... Foreman-Tyson? Keep in mind that when Don King was trying to make that fight in 1990-91 Tyson said to King "you like him so much you fight him." At least according to Ring magazine.
@dragonfurp Yeah,I saw Lyle land a right hand and foreman was on queer street.I'm totally convinced the if tyson got foreman hurt with the same punch,he would have finished foreman off!!!! ,tyson would certainly land his shots.the key is could foreman take it enough to start landing on tyson? That's my issue.Would foreman weather the storm enough to take over because I saw Thomas and Bruno both survive tysons first round assault and they came back a little.
@regismo im not defending Tyson at all, but he fought Lennox Lewis, who was great, and he fought Larry Holmes, who was Great in his prime, but when Tyson fought him he was washed up. Wouldn't it have been great to see Foreman vs Tyson in their primes?
@dragonfurp In fact Tyson never beat a really great fighter, or a fighter who has been great, but not anymore. So how can we judge of his real value ? Foreman destroy prime Frazier and prime Norton. And old Foreman shock the world several times by beating mens 10-15 years younger than him.
Tyson in one punch was less strengh. Young, he was dangerous with his speed. But Tyson can't take punches, Foreman can. No, young Foreman won, and maybe Old Foreman don't, but in points, not by KO.

@regismo Also, Foreman became heavyweight champ again at age 45. Tyson is 45 now, do you think he could come back and be heavyweight champ again?
