1991 George Foreman KNOCKS OUT 1991 Mike Tyson

[tysonesque]

Prior to Kevin Rooneys departure, Tyson wins (In my opinion, Tyson would've retired undefeated if he'd not fired Rooney).

But in the early 90's, Tyson would have the potential to win, but only if he has the sense to fight smart like Holyfield and Morrison did by sticking and moving and not standing still in front of him. However, and no offense to Mike, I don't think he would have. I believe eventually he would start brawling trying to knock Foreman out, and WHAM! Down in one punch.

Tyson beat Ruddock who was more dangerous at the time than Foreman. If he can stand and trade with that puncher, Tyson could do it against Big George. Prime Tyson moved to the sides but this 24 year old version was less disciplined which was why the fights with Donovan were tough fights.

Ruddock made his name off of a devastating knockout of a shot Dokes and two losses vs Tyson. He was a one arm fighter with poor stamina, no jab, a decent chin (at best) and compketely one dimensional. No way was Ruddock EVER more of a threat than George. Lennox destroyed the Ruddock myth inside of three rounds.

Tyson was never overly impressive when the other guy could take his punches, and George had a great chin and excellent durability. Tyson won't jab n move like he needed to, or fight the counter punching fight that Evander did. George pushes Mike back, manhandles him and punishes him for the late stoppage. Style wise this is a horrible match up for Tyson.

Style wise, it's a perfect match up for Tyson.

A big, slow guy who is massive and an easy target. Tyson wouldn't have been able to miss him! 1991 Foreman was nothing more than an even slower Frank Bruno but with a decent chin. Foreman would have taken an absolute beating. He couldn't even knock out Alex Stewart for crying out loud. Tyson had a very good chin and there's no way he's going down from the tiny number of punches Foreman would have managed to land.

Ruddock was never the same after his fights with Tyson. Tyson hit him with every punch under the sun and broke his jaw. In those days, plenty of fighters were never the same again after Tyson was finished with them. 1991 Ruddock is a far more dangerous opponent than a lumbering and fat George Foreman.
