So let's say this fight goes at least 8 rounds....Would Foreman hurt Tyson? Would he knock Tyson down? I mean he rocked the shit out of Holyfield and obviously Evander had a great chin....but if he rocked Tyson and Mike staggered a bit and Foreman threw with ill intentions what would happen?
At some point Foreman would undoubtedly hit Tyson very hard, and Tyson would think "holy shit this old guy hits hard"... but if Holyfield, Stewart, Morrison, ect could get hit and keep going, why not Iron Mike? He had a world class chin.

Tyson took Tuckers uppercut, Bonecrushers right hand, Bruno left hook and Ruddock's smash.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
For sure, and it has to be said too that not only did he have a great chin, he was one of those guys who would get hit very hard and be able to keep his composure. You're not just going to one-punch him unconscious like Michael Moorer, it was going to take a consistent, accumulative attack.

Certainly it would have to be accumulative (also paired with fatigue) which is why Foreman would have been very dangerous for Tyson. Foreman would pitter pat, he'd just touch Tyson up, and then he'd drop the hammer and it would take a second or two for Mike to recover but soon as he's recovering another big punch is coming.
At that point in his career George Foreman was like high tide....one wave would hit you and as you get back up another one would wipe you out, then another and another....maybe Tyson could steady himself quicker than most, but all it would take for him to get in real trouble is to be wobbly when Foreman was loading back up for another blow.....Foreman as an older fighter was a master of timing, space, and accuracy.
