Reasons

[GFR]

In addition, Foreman was bigger, stronger, tougher and hit harder

 

[GFR]

Not to mention the fact that Foreman had a better chin and no fear or doubt, unlike Tyson, who was full of fear and self-doubt.

 

[GFR]

Think about it, Foreman-Tyson was the biggest fight that

 

[GFR]

could have been made in 1990. Foreman was perceived to be

 

[GFR]

an easy fight for Tyson, and it would have been his biggest

 

[GFR]

payday to date. There can only be one reason why Tyson

 

[GFR]

didn't fight Foreman, and that's because he feared losing to him.

 

[GFR]

I haven't a morsel of a doubt that Tyson just doesn't match

 

[GFR]

up with Foreman, and he knows it

 

[GFR]

If Tyson of 1990 was

 

[GFR]

afraid of an old Foreman, think how petrified he would of

 

[GFR]

been of a prime Foreman, the one who stared down both Joe

 

[GFR]

Frazier and Muhammad Ali in 1973 and 1974.

 

[GFR]

The above account is of a quick get to together for

 

[GFR]

something to eat between myself and the above mentioned

 

[GFR]

parties. The only thing I can't recall for certain is if it took

 

[GFR]

place after the Holyfield-McDonagh final press conference, or

 

[GFR]

the weigh in? However, the above quotes are just that,

 

[GFR]

quotes. Everything there is exactly how the conversation

 

[GFR]

unfolded. Whether you chose to believe it or not is up to

 

[GFR]

you. All I can say is that is exactly what was said. To

 

[GFR]

disbelieve this you have to assume a lot of people close to

 

[GFR]

both Foreman and Tyson are lying. Remember, Tyson is a

 

[GFR]

student of boxing and boxing history. If there ever was a

 

[GFR]

fighter who understood styles and match ups

 

[GFR]

its Tyson.

 

[GFR]

He was smart enough to know that Foreman was all wrong for

 

[GFR]

him. You can talk about his speed and defense for the next

 

[GFR]

100 years

 

[GFR]

The fact of the matter is he had nothing to beat
