Mike Tyson Opens Up About The Biggest Regret In His Illustrious Boxing Career

Mike Tyson admitted that he was disappointed he never managed to face boxing legend George Foreman in a mega-showdown.

‘Iron’ Mike, 53, was feared for his devastating punching power and fans often wondered what would have happened if he crossed paths with ‘Big George.’

And Tyson is the first to admit that he wanted the clash to happen so he could settle the ‘biggest puncher debate’ once and for all.

“I would have liked to fight George Foreman,” the boxing legend told Ring Magazine.

“There have been many fans who wondered who was the bigger puncher.

“I would have liked to put an end to the discussion — one way or the other.”

Foreman, 71, previously suggested that the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ would have been a “nightmare in the ring” and he “didn’t want a part of Mike Tyson.”

“That guy was a nightmare in the ring,” he explained. “If he missed you with his left, then missed you with his right, he’d bite you.

“I didn’t want anything to do with that guy. He was scared and I was glad of that. I didn’t want a part of Mike Tyson.”

The two-time world heavyweight champ also has a theory for why Tyson might not have stepped into the ring with him.

According to ‘Big George,’ ‘Iron’ Mike might never have faced him due to legendary trainer Cus D’Amato warning him about Foreman’s power.

“There were a couple of times, serious negotiations were going on with the Mike Tyson fight,” he explained.

“Mike Tyson just didn’t want to fight me. Not to say he couldn’t have beaten me. I mean, this guy could punch.

“The bigger they are, the harder they’d fall as far as Mike Tyson was concerned.

“I guess that I have a feeling, his first original trainer and manager, Cus D’Amato, must have told him about George Foreman’s punching power as though I would never come back.”

A fan recently asked ‘Big George’ who would have emerged victoriously out of a best-of-three series between him and Tyson.
