FOREMAN actually looks quite light on his feet here im quite suprised

He still has no defense, and a jab that Tyson would easily slip to get in... Foreman was pretty lean back in the day, and I can't see him handling Tyson's powerful body shots very long.

Foreman handling the body shots of Tyson? Again lets look at history. Foreman had only one knock out loss in his 5 defeats in 87 fights ( a TKO actually - the opinion was that he gassed out because of Ali's rope-a-dope tactic)). While Tyson was knocked out 5 times out of his six losses in 50 fights. If Tyson were to land body shots, it may affect Foreman but one bomb from Foreman will surely send Mike to the moon. Again, Foreman had a slightly higher knockout percentage than Tyson. Foremans opposition? Please google him and find out (Ali, Norton, Frazier, Holyfield, Moorer, Lyle among others).

You can't compare stats... Tyson fought way better opponents overall... Only HOlyfield, Douglas, and Lewis were legimate Tyson getting beaten up, and none of those times he used head movement or any of his great defense. Anyways lets look at Foreman's opposition... Moorer:you think he would stand a chance against prime Tyson? He would be out in the first round. Lyle wasn't a good fighter, and still almost knocked out no-defense Foreman. Frazier was simply too small for Foreman. Holyfield totally dominated him, though Foreman did good in the this fight I'll admit... Norton: How many punches do you need to throw to ko an opponent? Shavers took him out way easier, and so would have Tyson. Ali: Foreman was stupid in this fight, and proved that he doesn't have the skill to stand up to Tyson. As for one bomb ko'ing Tyson thats BS... he had a great chin, and Foreman wasn't able to one punch any top end competition... just circus act guys who were in there for a pay day.
