Who would win a Tyson or Ali?

A George Foreman vs. Mike Tyson superfight would be a boxing fan's dream. Two of the heavyweight divisions biggest hitters in what possibly could have been one of the all time great fights. But who would win? In my opinion, both fighters have what it takes to beat one and other. But when all is said and done, I feel that in a prime for prime battle, Mike Tyson would have the edge. He was faster, was a more effective puncher, had a tighter defense, and was a hard, slippery fighter to hit cleanly. Foreman, with his stand-up, somewhat plodding style, would be hit - and hit hard! And Tyson would have the speed and the power to finish off Big George!

Where can you find information about a boxer from the 1940s named Eric Boone?

JW: I have a reply for you - took a little bit of -researching- a.) I have an Eric Boone with three (3) -pro- bouts experience (two kno.s/ the loss by a decision/ "interesting accomplishments" though the minimum -pro- experience). This boxer fought -twice- in 1982- -then, once in 1986- He was active in Africa. He is the only "Eric Boone" I see.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You -probably- mean Eric Boon(b) -and- I'll tell you about him, -here- He also fought under the aliases of, ""Fen Tiger", & "Boy Boon". I see a -very handsome- picture of this boxer in the BoxRec.com -bio- archives. Born at Chatteris, England, he passed away at age 61 on Jan. 19, 1981. Eric began his career -as-a-pro- 3-0. Then he suffered a defeat. Then: I "stopped counting" after seening him -string- 28 wins straight. He was a lightweight and for those of you out there who do-not know boxing scales, lightweight is -middle- of Welter (up) and Feather (lower) "traditional" weight structure -and- -between- Jr. Welter (up) and Jr Light (down) -"modern"- era weight -structures- (in place 40 to 60 years or longer, now)/ 135 lbs. In "history" of the sport, one can find Roberto Duran a dominant -figure- from the "Lightweight" div. Lets talk "numbers" in the record: first/ 92-21-5 is the -record- given, 62 Ko's -quite a high -ko-percentage- (wins-losses-drawn. such is how -boxing records- are --always-- -display-). The boxer was 5'5 1/2" tall. BoxRec.com -for what its worth- "Identifys" Eric Boon as: "Human 24131".

Now, I must add something else about this boxer: A "Bio" is "Open" on this -boxer- and in the Bio his -record- is "constrewed". I have -never- seen anything quite like this in past. In the "bio" they say he is: 93-23-5 w/ one No Contest. In his -record- they -list- the pro debute from May 9, 1937. In the Bio they take it from 1935. But, their are other "confusing" things about the actual -record- in the -Bio- section. I haven't in least put study to the calibration of opponents. With so vast a -record- I imagine he faced -some- of the -best-. With request, i'l sequest the record and give it a good -examine- For whom ever it was who asked this question...if -yah- can get "deep" w/ Wiki/ here, I am certain they will give you -keys- so as to -add- to that -Bio- You could be an important -link- with history with this -apparently- "significant figure"/in boxing/ from that time period. Good luck.
