    George destroys him like he did Frazier.

    I’m not sure who would win but it would be some fight while it lasted .

    Prime Foreman was well-prepared against Frazier by his team, and he used very effective tactics. I'm sure he would be similarly prepared against Tyson and would take him very seriously and again fight very well. He underestimated Ali but I doubt this would happen against prime Tyson. Foreman would win inside the distance.

    Right answer. I'd give Old Foreman a chance of turning the trick too. There's a reason Tyson didn't want to fight him

    When it comes to Old George in the 90's I think Tyson kills him. There was no good time for them to fight then tho.

    You're probably right, but I do give George a shot of leaving Mike fumbling around on the canvas for his mouthpiece! :D

    I think Foreman has a very troubling style for Tyson.

    But I'm not one of those people that believe it's going to be a repeat of Foreman/Frazier.

    As much as I like Frazier he didn't take a single shot as good as Tyson and he wasn't as proven against big imposing Heavyweights who could hit.

    Tyson has numerous notable victories against big punchers who weighed more than Foreman did in the 70s like....

    Ruddock, Bonecrusher, Bruno.

    Not that I'm saying those fighters are as good as a prime Foreman.

    But I do think Tyson matches up better against Foreman than Frazier did.

    I'd have Foreman as a favourite but a fight with a prime Tyson would be a war and not a massacre like the Frazier fight.
