    Mike would have pounded Foreman's body into "hamburger" and smashed him hard in his "grill".

    in '91 Mike still had enough head movement to evade most of George's barrages.

    Foreman's punches looked like they were in slow motion but I don't think Mike was going to win by a knockout. He either would have to go completely against his style of fighting back then or he would himself get knocked out. I am leaning towards Mike not changing and getting knocked out as well.

    After one or two CONCUSSIVE, SPINE JOLTING SHOTS, Tyson would have mentally folded, and Foreman woulda knocked his lil punk ass out in about 5 rounds tops.

    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.

    Jerry Cooney was old, slow, and not up for the task.

    Here's Mike against a guy who beat the hell out of Big George for 12 rounds!

    I think the calm cool collected mental game of Foreman would be a massive benefit to Tysons shaky mental make up. Style wise, size and that mauling push off cross arm strength would put Tyson on his heels and keep him lunching for hooks and then falling in. Foreman was not just dangerous for 'natural' power but he delivered axe handle type punches, top of the head. Tyson was patch work coming out of prison and very carefully steered by King. Foreman was calling him out at every chance, naturally, but they had no desire..or really need..to touch Big George.

    Holyfield "He (Foreman) hit me harder than any fighter. Even though he didn't knock me down, but with one shot I thought he knocked all my teeth out."

    Meaning that Foreman hit Evander harder than Tyson, harder than Bowe, and harder than Lennox Lewis. I'm sure none of those guys when they land flush hit softly, but for Evander to say that it has an impact at least in my view of it.

    Granted styles make fights and in this case you've got Foreman who never backed up and Tyson who never backed up, both are big time power punchers, ALL-TIME power punchers, but neither in their primes, 1 very old and looking to prove himself, 1 veteran looking to regain his place.....was Tyson dedicated enough to beat Foreman? I don't think so, I also think Foreman's aura would melt Tyson's will....that said if Tyson scored a quick knockdown who knows what would happen after that?

    Prime vs Prime I think Foreman again is too big, too powerful, and he turns and spins Tyson the way he did to the then undefeated undisputed champion Joe Frazier and just bombs him out...that clubbing overhand right wouldn't sit well with Tyson or his defense
