    I actually think older Foreman beats him, but I'm not sure about the younger version. Older George was smarter and more relaxed, and would have used the right plan to wear Mike down push him back and club him into defeat.
    Younger Foreman would have went out there trying to slug it out with the faster Tyson.

    Styles make fights. Prime Foreman against prime Tyson would have been one for the ages. A short violent epic fight with Tyson unconscious at the end.

    Foreman TKO 8-9.

    Old George against prime Mike would end badly for the old man, I doubt he could tag Mike with more than one shot at a time.

    Prime Tyson TKO 8-9.

    This is one of the most crowd pleasing fantasy match ups I can think of.

    Tysons speed and angles have George in a little trouble the first few rounds, probably dropping him once or twice, but Foreman weathers the early storm and stops Mike around rounds 8 or 9.

    Mike Tyson comes out firing and wins the first 3 rounds buzzes Foreman, noticeably slows down after 3 and Foreman's punches seem heavier and heavier, knocks Tyson out in R7

    Look what Alex Stewart did to "monster" Foreman and then see what same era Tyson did to same era Foreman.

    Which version of Foreman is prime? Either way I think Tyson is too fast and will win a decision.

    Lyle v Foreman what an epic fight but that Foreman there loses to Tyson. Hard to say but did Foreman get even tougher when he came back ? Foreman on the comeback trail ate monster shots for fun from a lot of known punchers. Let’s not forget also that Ali warned Foreman to avoid Tyson during his comeback .
    Edit to say: the Tyson without Rooney loses to Foreaman .

    As much as I love Mike

    Foreman was an ATG slow-fast speed great and I feel Mike was very susceptible to slow-fast speed fighters. Hence why I feel Big Joe Joyce is all wrong for him

    Look at how frustrated and demoralized Mike became here by Kevin McBride's slow-fast speed

    And McBride was never an elite slow-fast speed fighter and his slow-fast speed is just not impressive to me. Foreman and Big Joe Joyce are far superior slow-fast speed fighters and their slow-fast speed much more impressive

    Prime Tyson was an assasin, and I'd favor him to beat prime Foreman h2h but if Foreman would catch Tyson coming in it would be Tokyo before Tokyo even happened.

    Prime Forman would have problems imo. In a nut shell Tysons speed and power were to much. Tyson had a good enough chin to absorb some punishment but was pretty allusive also.
