Foreman would have beaten Tyson senseless!
In 1991 Foreman had already learned and dealt mentally and psychologically with what Ali did to him but Mike Tyson was still being haunted by demons in 1991. When you go from "Invincible" to being the slain Goliath after having battled David there's a period of recovery that needs to happen and sure Tyson could have gotten refocused, but at the time he was not interested in training and being that machine he once was whereas Foreman WAS focused and completely dedicated to victory.
Foreman has some shaky moments but after round 3 it would be 100% Big George. The jab, the right cross, the hooks, the huge uppercut....they'd find the target and once they did Tyson would have to work in and in 1991 he didn't do that behind a jab the way he did in the mid-late 1980's.
Foreman's entire fight strategy at that point in his career was specifically "I will be there for another fighter to hit.....BUT I will hit him first, and I will hit him harder"....you didn't have to chase George you had to dance away from him, that was the brilliance about him and there would be 1 or 2 moments in a fight where George would stalk you down rather than wait for you to come to him.
