    George wins easy. Too big, iron chin, too strong. Tyson too small, and only a 6 round fighter.

    I maybe favour Tyson because he was much quicker and more accurate than Foreman and his head movement leaves Foreman missing much more than he lands, but for sheer toughness if it boils down to a throw one - take one scenario, Foreman edges it.

    Tough call. Great fight!

    Foreman is much bigger and stronger than Tyson, and he wouldn't be afraid of him.

    Let's not forget, Foreman was a mean SOB when he was younger.

    It depends when the fight takes place. If Foreman would’ve had Tyson as his first comeback fight like Holmes did Tyson would’ve destroyed Foreman and Foreman himself admitted as much. However, once Foreman got 10-15 fights under his belt to shake of the ring rust I think he would’ve beat Tyson.

    George in a brutal fashion, none of this "Joe Fraizer so Tyson losses" neither Tyson wasn't even the same type of fighter he was a midrange forward moving counter puncher who relied on panic punches George wont be throwing punches in fear of Tyson he is going to welcome Mike into the trenches and Kid dynamite is going to indulge with his short reach and aggressive style he's really got no choice, i see it being a left jab slipped by Tyson followed up by an uppercut that does the job on the low moving Tyson for a few rounds with Tyson getting inside but unfortunately with all the pushing and manhandling George does it wil frustrate Mike he'll only apply more pressure with his ATG chin he'll go out like a warrior a flurry of hooks is how he meets the canvas alot like Kenny Norton but just a multitude of times after a few repeats in rounds 7-8 he is broken.

    Before we mention Lyle and Young to make a case for a Tyson KO
    The worst of George took too many shots on the chin from Lyle an ATG puncher and still got up and finished it! the Jimmy Young fight isn't even relevant seeing as it was exhaustion from Foreman trying to spread his little stamina thin and getting exhausted him being dropped is alot like how he was TKO'd when he fought stupidly against Ali he was beaten and the better man won but he can't make that mistake against Tyson if we take in all other cases those that lasted against George it was flight not fight and Tyson isn't running hes going to be on the end a mauling that left even Chuvalo whimpering in the corner chin is irrelevant with George if you want to stand and bang.

    I respect Tyson he was a warrior and a champion made of Dempsey and Liston's cloth but George was shoulders above the baddest men in boxing.
