how do you know foremen hits harder than tyson

here comes the mexican lol tyson has admitted that foremen hit harder then him and its too obvious lol.
You can have big muscles but hit like a weak punk and liston hit harder then foremen ali said that by expierance.

id say tyson would hit harder when he was around 18 or 19.. he wasnt as big as foreman but he was a little fucking ball of muscle.

I dont think Tyson hits harder than Foreman. But alot more accurate and with greater speed, especially with the combos. And he never got tired, just like Ali. Foreman seemed to lag stamina or he didnt pay alot of attention to it because he destroyed people with ease.
Ali-Tyson would be some great fight no doubt. Some people say that Ali could beat Tyson easily some say the opposite. But the truth is there's no way that these two could beat the other easily.

u forgetting what happened to tyson after he got rich? lost disciplin then lost his stamina and his boxing techique and that was only in his 33th fight! ali wud play mental games and get to tyson with ease.
Tyson would properly end up tryin to bite him or break his arm lol

Money and Prison. A young Tyson had great speed and power. Foreman probably hit harder but you cant judge it off just that. Tyson was swift and fast with his power which I thought made it alot more devastating.

Tyson is a what-coulda-been fighter. Had all the tools just not the mental mind set.

by the way where do u come up with his 33rd fight theory

P.S I dont think the Tyson before Spinks would have tried dirty tactics in a fight vs Ali in a mystical match up.

when tyson was unbeaten in his 30's and 0 record im not sure if its his 33rd fight he had nothing left.
thats why he lost to buster douglas

Um no... Tyson was 32 and 0 after fighting Larry Holmes he went on to destroy tony tubbs in 2 rounds. Then some call his 90 sec knock out of Spinks was his greatest showing.

Tyson was not washed up in the Douglas fight he was just not in a very good shape. And even if he was in shape are you not allowed to lose a fight ?
Ali also lost fights as I recalled.
Tyson bounced back with very good wins over Ruddock.

The Tyson that lost to Holyfield was a completely different fighter. He wouldn't have beaten Ali.

But the Prime Tyson is a different thing.

Anyone who says that Ali could handle Tyson "with ease" are ignorant and are just joining the latests trend, to diss Tyson. They obviously don't know anything about Alis career.
Ali almost lost to Dough Jones and went 15 rounds with George Chuvalo and was unable to hurt him. Henry Cooper almost knocked him out.
So how on earth can you say that Ali would handle a Tyson at hist best "with ease" when he couldn't easily handle fighters far from Tyson level. Try to use your thinker man !

larry you should say who your talking to use your thinker lol cause no one knows who that flame was too or was it in general?
George chuvlo was a underrated fighter before fighting ali so was cooper i think cooper wud of won if it wasnt for the cut ali gave him and chuvlo was tough it would take alot to get him down.
Those fighters back then was different from the 90's fact it was harder to be a champ back then.
