    George is a horrible matchup for ANY version of Tyson, IMO.

    I think this is one of those dream fights that I wish we could witness, I think Mike's prime was actually 1987-1988.

    George loved swarmers in his first career, I believe he would definitely be rocked by Mike who was stronger than Joe Frazier and faster too. However Foreman's swings and overhead pounds will rock Mike sooner or later, I don't think the fight will last more than 6 rounds. George in 73 probably pulls a TKO around then but not without getting clobbered and eating some heavy shots, maybe even hit the floor for the first time.
