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.
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.
Foreman was no spring chicken either so he could tire from the punches he would take.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
