Tyson would have been too much for Moorer in 97, 98. Tyson was still a top notch fighter at that time, even though his skills had deminished alot. I honestly felt, if Tyson would have held his self together in the rematch with Holyfield, He would have stopped an angry bitten Holyfield. Tyson looked ...

Re: Size matters

Something I've noticed over the years watching fights is that a fighter's size is more than height and weight. I mean some fighters are a lot bigger than their height and weight. If you'll look at an old George Foreman fight you'll notice how much bigger than his opponents he looks even when he tec...

[quote= Holyfield would have beaten either one of them, though. At the time of Tyson-Douglas, he was rarely losing a round, and it was clear he was going to get a title shot sooner rather than later. He'd been calling out Tyson since '88, but Tyson wasn't going to fight him until Holy became the man...

Sorry for the blow up, but I get pissed when people always discount Tyson's abilities for what he's done or said, especially AFTER his prime. Nobody ever brings up any other boxer's life outside the ring when they talk about Ali or anybody else. Nobody calls Ali a coward for ducking the draft, nobo...

Ibeabuchi vs. Lewis who wins?

Back in the late 90's before Ibeabuchi went to jail, what if he would have had a fight w/ Lewis for the title? Who do u guy pick as the winner? I think the "President" would have won by ko, I also felt that he would have been the best hw in this era if he would have stayed out of trouble.

U people should not even mention POWER when it comes 2 Holyfields opp. The man been in the ring w/ Foreman, Bowe, Tyson, Lewis ( some of the biggest hw puncher in history) & he held his ground. Holyfield can take a punch, & what works against Marciano is that Holy is a great counterpuncher w...

Fights like these is always hard 2 call. There is really no boxing skill envolved it just like a street fight. The outcome really depends on the era, in Dempsey's era he wins by k.o., in Marciano's era he wins by a late tko. But 2 give my honset opinion pound 4 pound, I'd pick Marciano stopping Demp...

I think that Holmes win (w15). U can't beat what u can't catch, as I recall, Foreman was never a real agile fighter w/ speed. Anything is possible when it comes 2 hw's, having a good chin means nothing when caught w/ a good shot. Foreman would have that punchers chance, but the jab is the most letha...

Foreman had a great jab and uppercut. Add in his phenomenal power, and Tyson is toast.
