Be that as it may....

Tyson would have been free swinging for a while and heck maybe he connects vs George and hell maybe George hits the canvas BUT Foreman gets up, survives, and once he hurts Tyson it's ballgame over!


Foreman was stopped 1 time.......by Muhammad Ali. Foreman did better vs a PRIME Evander Holyfield when George was 40 than Mike did vs an Evander Holyfield who was an underdog entering the fight.... FACT

Foreman old or Prime would have used his arms to steer Tyson away from him, he'd push him back, he'd lean on him, he'd move Tyson backwards and in Tyson's style if you go backwards you're done for.

Prime George Foreman wins by TKO 5
Old George Foreman wins by KO 8
I think that that is a pretty good assessment. Watch Tyson fight, even at his peak. He'd let guys steer him with their arms. Holmes was doing it to him, and trying to time him with the right coming in, before he figured that Tyson would get under the right and started looking for the uppercut.
If Foreman could, he'd stand Mike up and hit him, or he'd throw the uppercuts, which would make Tyson stand up on his own, then hit him. But Tyson could, at it isn't unlikely, get around those arms and hit the body. Tyson didn't fight much inside but he'd pick his shots and really hit the body. Then he'd come back over the top, and he was patient and did his work.
Honestly, I think that Foreman could get him early, and I'd bet this 60-65% of the time, but it wouldn't suprise me to see some ugly wrestling going on, Tyson ripping the body, Foreman looking awkward (he needed room to punch) and then Tyson exploding on him.
