Legendary boxer George Foreman has showered Mike Tyson with praise, after viewing his training video. Tyson posted a clip to social media, throwing devastating combos on the mitts with his trainer. Surprisingly Foreman revealed that Muhammad Ali was fearful of Mike Tyson’s power during the interview. Foreman spoke to Ali during Tyson’s prime and said that Ali was not sure if he could beat Tyson due to his devastating knockout power. Ali reigned supreme for a number of years, with his elusive style placing him among the greats. However, given Tyson’s raw talent and natural strength, many argue he was more talented than Muhammad Ali. As reported by The Sun:

‘Muhammad Ali told me himself. I said to him, ‘Do you think Tyson could beat anybody? He said, “Man, Tyson hits so hard. He felt Tyson hit harder than anyone he’d faced. He told me once that he didn’t have the confidence he could have beaten Mike Tyson.’ said Foreman

‘Iron’ Mike, revealed in a recent interview that he plans on returning to fight in 4-round exhibition bouts. Foreman made a similar return to boxing back in 1987 after a 10-year absence. He went on a 24 fight win streak before losing to Shannon Briggs in 1997.

“He could come back and really be a top contender”- George Foreman

‘He was looking fit and those punches were coming sharp. If he’s able to go into the woods and dedicate himself to that for about 10 months, he could come back and really be a top contender. So it starts off talking about exhibitions, but then it gets bigger and bigger. And Tyson, I would like to see him back in the ring. He’s an older fella, but a record is always waiting to be broke.’ said Foreman

Foreman revealed that he initially came out of retirement to fight in exhibition bouts. However, soon after that, he went onto capture the various heavyweight titles. Foreman believes despite Tyson’s ripe old age, he’s capable of capturing the title.
