    Who would win between Mike Tyson and George Foreman? Would Tyson's inside fighting ability still be too much for George or would Foreman's reach and strength win it?


    I thought I'd try this kind of a mythical match-up for a change.

    I'd pick Foreman outright, right now. It's a horrific style matching, among other problems of note Tyson would face.

    Foreman with Tyson's speed would have been devastating beyond the pale. Tyson wouldn't have a prayer. I don't even give him that great a shot as th underdog against Foreman as he was in his pomp.

    Yes:bears: Something new to this section.

    Remember that even though their speed would be the same, Foreman would still throw the looping shots and Tyson would put up good combinations and move his head

    If Foreman had been that fast, everyone he fought would be dead now

    I think Foreman beats Mike ANYWAY

    Agreed on both points, & that includes Ali in '74, IMO. With that kind of speed, & no sacrifice in power, Holmes may never have had a shot at his long reign. It could've been Foreman in his place.

    What if Foreman had the speed in one arm, but the other arm was a gimp arm?

    LOL @ this one..


    I'd rather see Ali with George's power but keep his boxing and speed


    how about if Tyson had George's arms? and Holmes had Cooney's fingers?

    If Foreman had driven Tyson's car when it crahsed, Geroge would be dead now since the energy hitting a bigger guy would be bigger too. So Tyson wins

    However Tyson never wore socks, so if he would, that would fuck up his footwork and George wins
