Foreman version 1 looked pretty scary as well.
Allegedly when don king was trying to set up a tyson foreman version 2 fight, tyson's words to king were 'if you love him so much, you fight the motherfukker,he's a fukking animal'.I can;'t imagine what foreman was like to be in the ring with if tyson thought he an animal .Tyson also thought that foreman was a bit of a scam artist in his book , when foreman came back in version two form, fat looking out of shape ,slow , tyson claimed that it was all a big scam, to give other younger boxers an illusion that he would be an easy pay day,when in fact ,he wasn't nearly as shot as he pretended.
That is why I reckon tyson never fought foreman,he never trusted king and I think he thought king and foreman were going to scam him somehow. He also remembered the only man who gave a damn about him, cus d'mato,telling tyson never to fight foreman because foremans style was all wrong for him.
