For good reason: George handpicked his opponents and avoided any fighter with even a semblance of a heartbeat. George wasn't interested in fighting anyone who could actually fight -- unless it were for a big-money title shot. And George "earned" his title shot against Holyfield by basically beating a bunch of tomato cans. And against Moorer, he was gifted the title shot; his last fight prior to Moorer was a loss against Tommy Morrison (15 months prior). Merchant was accurate in his criticisms.

Tyson's last fight before his prison stretch was a very tough decision over Razor Ruddock. In this fight although he fought bravely, Tyson was exhibiting signs of decline. The great footwork, head movement, and punch combinations were clearly not as sharp. Mike himself has stated many times that his prime ended that night in Tokyo. After taking a beating from Holyfield and losing his titles again, making money became his sole incentive.

For anyone saying Tyson was ducking Foreman, that makes no sense...Tyson was trying to regain the title, and he wanted a rematch witH Douglas, and Douglas obviously ducked Tyson until he retired the first time. Tyson ended up fighting a much more difficult fight with Razor Ruddock, and a rematch, and then went to prison for 3 years. Had he not gone to prison, I'm sure it would've been inevitable for Tyson-Foreman to fight. I just don't see the logic in Tyson wanting to avoid George Foreman, he is perfect for him.

Tyson fought some tough guy's, plus they trained very hard because they knew if they beat him there next fight would be a huge payday, between green and spinks Tyson was the perfect fighter unfortunately that bitch and king got there claws in, and he lost that head movement and stopped frowing those great combinations and excepted clinches boxing's biggest shame

I hope Larry Mechant apologized for his commentary on George Foreman. It was beyond criticism; it was mean and disrespectful. He had a whole lot of "crow" to eat when George defeated Michael Moorer. I love the story of George Foreman. He showe hope and perseverence...even in the wake of brutal critics.

If foreman stayed 235 for his whole career he wouldve been better during his comeback he shouldve stayed out the Fridge

Hbo shit on foreman his entire comeback.

I get that people hate Floyd Mayweather Jr., I do I really do. I like him but I get it. That being said everyone should of appreciated him for telling Larry Merchant "you don't know shit about boxing". Larry is and was always a pompous ass

I wonder what adversity Larry Merchant had to overcome?
