    So Tyson right now steps back in time, to fight Big George in his last fight?

    Ps. Not to be taken to seriously.

    After all, this is an exhibition (the fight with Jake Paul), and the fight with Briggs is professional boxing and for the title of lineal HW champion.
    Here we compare 49-year-old George with 57-year-old Mike, and even 49-year-old Mike wouldn't stand a chance against 49-year-old George :)
    Foreman wins by knockout.

    Foreman with great confidence. I wouldn’t pick Tyson at this stage over most forum members here.

    I suppose you’d have to, since everyone you speak with is an unknown quantity, & because it’s a Boxing match, not a street fight, & there are plenty of Boxing fans without even local gym experience of having been in a ring.

    But you’d have to agree Foreman wins this match going away, wouldn’t you? I don’t know if I’d pick 2004 Tyson, forget 2024.

    'Reports indicate that both Paul and Tyson want the fight to be an official professional bout, but that decision must be made by the Texas commission. As of March 19, no decision has been made.' - USA Today

    Tyson still has more speed and explosiveness than guys like Moorer and Briggs ever did

    Not that I don’t think Paul isn’t a fraud but he’s technically 9-1 as a pro, what grounds do they have to deny him legally?

    We are talking about Tyson now. I don’t think what you said even holds true for the Tyson of twenty years ago.

    Briggs shook Lewis in the first round, and even Tyson couldn't do that in 2002.

    And let's not forget that Foreman beat Briggs.
