    Tyson by decision, but it would be grueling and take alot out of both guys and shorten their careers. Old Foreman had much more heart than in his prime where he didnt even protest the Ali stoppage. Old george would fight his heart out and both their chins would be tested

    Because Moorer was one of the people he fought and Foreman from 90-91 wasn't this incredibly different beast that your trying to make him out to be from the Foreman from 94.

    That's terrible reasoning.

    See Dempsey/Willard. The smaller,quicker Tyson would be all over the bigger, lumbering Foreman.

    The Tyson who beat Ruddock would've beaten up old Foreman just as bad or worse. Holyfield landed a 17 punch combination on old Foreman. A 17 punches in a row combination from a 90-91 Tyson is poleaxing anyone and Tyson had the hand speed to let him land it.

    He's George Foreman....according to most here, Foreman can hit harder now than AJ and Wilder....combined!!

    Although, no one in 1991 knew that because no one at that time was classing Foreman as a harder and more dangerous puncher than Ruddock.

    Maybe he could, but what makes you think Ruddock couldn't KO anyone Foreman did (assuming Ruddock could land like Foreman did)?

    Michael Spinks also flattened Cooney, but for some reason many around here don't give Spinks as much credit for that as Foreman gets. Despite the fact that Foreman was bigger than Cooney while Spinks was giving up 30 pounds even after beefing up from his native light heavyweight class.

    Yep. Plus, Ruddock was regarded as the more dangerous fighter at that time. Had Tyson fought and beat an old Foreman, he'd get flack on this board for not fighting Ruddock or ducking Ruddock or whatever. Even Foreman didn't want any of Ruddock.
