    If Ali can KO him, Tyson can.

    IMO it could go either way. Either Tyson by early KO or Foreman by late KO.

    60/40 in tysons favour I'd say.

    He had a good chin and was durable. If he could last long enough he could wear tyson down.

    I'd say 60/40 - 70/30 in favour or tyson.

    But none of that matters if he can't land do you think all I said is a lie cause its from vid cause you skipped over that like it doesnt matter cause without him being able to land he doesn't win

    im not understanding why your giving him a chance here

    Nobody who beat Mike beat him with a few shots they had to beat him up in rounds

    And then you said said how George was tough when he wasnt cause I said Ron hurt him can you not see good cause thats not a lie either its on video hard shots hurt George which means he wasnt tough to them

    Foreman who in his prime was a truly scary intimidating fighter, might well have been the one to find Tysons lack of mental/testicular fortitude when an opponent did not succumb to his attacks or the going got tough.

    Whichever way we see the fight going i sure as hell would pay to watch it

    Tyson is easily KO'd.
    The first and most important reason is that Tyson was afraid of him. That already puts him at a disadvantage.

    Mike Tyson said that boxing is primarily a spiritual fight and that when the opponent looks down before the match (like Trevor Berbick) he knows that he won.
    I just can't imagine George Foreman looking down.
    Mike Tyson’s “Fear Factor” wouldn’t work on George Foreman.

    I normally don't chime in on hypothetical fights but based on the fact Tyson refused to fight an old George Foreman (out of fear) the prime Foreman was much scarier. I think the fact Cus said something about it had it in Mike's head he couldn't beat him, so he lost before even entering the ring.
