    I always wondered could prime tyson knockout the George Foreman who use to come into fights tipping the scales at about a million pounds? I know he lost a lot of fight when he came back, but he took a lot of punishment, but never really got hurt, and I never remember him getting dropped. It's like he could absorb punches.



    I know tyson has lost some fights, but the guys who beat him avoided taking his best punches, and in the later years Foreman was so damn hittable tyson would get his power punches off, but could he stun or drop Foreman?

    No doubt, just like the Holmes fight, a total destruction

    No way in hell !! He would have to apply the rope a dope technique in order to tire his out and Tyson is not that type of fighter ..

    Yeep. Prime Foreman has very very good endurance but Tyson can do it.

    Are you claiming that foreman was never dropped EVER? Or just earlier in his career? Because I think that everyone knows he was lost the fight to Ali by way of KO .

    Prime Mike vs Big George from the 90s? Highly doubt Foreman wouldn't be stopped. Evander had him in all sorts of trouble throughout their bout. If they were Prime Mike's bombs hitting him, in the least someone would've stopped it. Either that or I can see Mike bombing him out Larry Holmes style. Prime Mike was too fast, offered too much movement, and would'ev been able to tee off on a big stationary target like George with his weak crab like defense.

    Yes, probably not with just 1 shot BUT George was just WAY too SLOW, Tyson would tee off on him until he got the KO, 90s Foreman is very overrated IMO, he struggled with Briggs, Saverese, Morrison, & Shultz. His complete lack of speed would do him in here.

    I don't think he would hurt Foreman but the ref would step in somewhere in the late rounds.

    NO. Never. Tyson doesnt knock out any version of Foreman. He couldnt knock out many lesser fighters in his prime and didnt knock out the best fighters he fought. Just Spinks, Foreman was a another animal.
