    Big ol' George was so powerful that in his second career ham and eggers like glasschin Stewart or stiff as a board Saverese traded with him all nite long , made him look like minced meat and lasted the distance plus a argument could be made that he was the recipient of lucky decisions in those fights.......while a washed up Tyson wasted both of those fools in LESS THAN A ROUND COMBINED.

    There was a reason Foreman avoided big skilled man or fast powerpunchers like the plague in his second career, hell, besides Frazier and Norton he fought absolute tomatoe cans until he met Ali in his first..............you could not get George within a zipcode of a Bowe, Lewis, Bruno, McCall, Mercer etc etc...because he was no longer the "big Guy" and the average top tier Hwt had matured into really "Big Guys and Foreman was just another fish in the pond.......he picked grade A china Morrison and lost, handpicked Euro yourneyman Schultz and lost , lol, but now he is just walking over Tyson , who would be as tough of a test as Ali was ?

    I said it before and I say it again, Tyson WILL beat him to the punch fairly easy and those punches have a severe impact no matter how good your chin is but you have horrible defense.....Tyson made way bigger man than Foreman crumble and run for the hills in his prime.

    If Foreman has absolute disregard for defense like in the first Frazier fight he is going to be taken out quick and nobody finishes a fighter in trouble like Tyson does.
