    How would this fight have gone down had they met that year?

    One of them would've gotten KO'd in 1 or 2 rounds just like George said.. Not really sure who though.

    Yeah, that was when the shell of Mike Tyson blew out his knee after beating the living **** out of Williams every second of the fight leading up to the injury. But yeah, Tyson lost by KO.

    Maybe. Tyson had youth on his side, but Foreman is about as bad of a style match-up as he could get.

    a friend of mine who is in sports medicine said that the injury Tyson had to his knee was so bad, he couldnt believe he actually went out for the round after it happened. I guess he had to have major surgery to repair the damage!

    Foreman would have presented a problem for Tyson because he would have walked him down. Foreman wouldn't take a backwards step in that fight and that'd hurt Tyson's style dramatically. Whether Tyson could hurt Foreman or not, I don't know, but it's an interesting one because Tyson would be forced onto the back foot.

    Who cares what happened to Tyson 15-16 years after his prime? It's irrelevant.
