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.
    I think Tyson would dominate the first several rounds against Foreman, but would later get tired of moving around and then get tagged not unlike Micheal Moorer.

    Well i am not really sure who would of won the fight i think Tyson was better on the comeback then when he lost to Douglas. I mean some of best wins were before he lost to Holyfeild and Foreman was better when he was younger but lacked some ring smarts at times.

    Tyson was hollow when he came out of jail. He looked good physically but that was muscle bound to hide his deficiency. Tyson looked spectacular for a few rounds but take him past r rounds and he was finished.

    Foreman was no spring chicken either so he could tire from the punches he would take.

    You're kind of talking about Tyson like he's a stick and move boxer.

    Could a 40 year old, 260lb Foreman keep the wind in his sails after engaging Tyson for several rounds and taking Tyson's body attack?

    Tyson had a great chin in his day, not really comparable to the often rocked, often dropped Michael Moorer.

    This thread is ridiculous.

    This fight would have been a mismatch with Tyson winning every round on his way to a UD and Foreman's face ending up twice its original size. In many ways it would probably have been very similar to Tyson's fights with Ruddock.

    Although past his best, Tyson was still very good in 1991 and was much too fast and agile for someone like Foreman. Foreman had power, but he was painfully slow and no one ever knocked Tyson out with a single punch - even when Tyson was completely shot.
