no no he would not. except tyson wasent faster then foreman at all. Foreman was pretty much as powerful as tyson and has vastly better chin and was more skilled. Put foreman and tyson record side by side. foreman in his prime was better had more wins by TKO and KO and fought vastly superior people. Tyson fought mostly chumps.yea and foreman came back in his friggin forties overweight, that tyson excuses is lame, evenb looking purely at there primes Foreman record is simply better it not even debatable. Hell even ring magazine rates Foreman at number 7 while Tyson does not even make top 15.
I can't believe you just said that Tyson wasn't faster than Foreman lmao. Foreman was had slow hand speed, he just hit like a freaking pile driver and walk you around the ring with his monsterous right. Tyson had comparable punching power, far greater speed, unlike Foreman he was just as devastating with his left as his right, and when he was actually trying to box he was a master of the Peek-a-boo style (instead of just letting people punch him in the head like he did latter one), he had superior technique (Foreman was a brawler). I'll give you that Foreman fought better boxers than the boxers Tyson fought, but he didn't fight better boxers than prime Tyson.
Of course not. Tyson was a joke under Don King, and DK didn't want take the risk of Tyson losing to Foreman... but luckily that isn't the Tyson we are talking about. 😎

thats a lame excuses, just like saying his trainer death is the reason he went down hill which is utter BS seeing as his trainer died the same year he turned pro.
It's not a lame excuse, it's the reality of the situation. When Don King picked up his contract, Tyson stopped boxing like he used too. He stopped using the style and technique he had developed, and excelled at, he stopped training hard and fighting seriously... he basically tried to tank punches to the face and hope for the best. He was only the same fighter in name and nothing else.
