I have a feeling as someone said earlier this could turn into a repeat of Tyson/ Bonecrusher. Alot of mutual respect and a dull fight. Smith/Tillis/Tucker took Mike the distance ,so no reason why George couldn't. His defensive awareness would be better than a Tubbs/Bruno /Spinks/ Williams, so i couldn't see him getting rolled early. I see the fight developing into a stand off with Mike winning fairly easy on points. Lots of backslapping at the end telling each other they're great guys...!
Tyson would try to stop Foreman early and his speed would be a big factor in the first 4 rounds. Foreman would have some marks on his face and some swelling but he remains upright. Tyson slows the pace by round 5 and gets a little frustrated that Foreman is still coming forward. Rounds 6-9 are close but Foreman isn't landing his big punches flush. Foreman's head is starting to look like it did vs. Stewart by round 10 and Tyson is up 6 rounds to 4. Tyson actually turns boxer in this fight and surprises some people. He uses his speed and mobility to stick and move on Foreman. Tyson wins 7 rounds to 5 and is exhausted at the end of the fight.
Either mike goes out and destroys foreman within 6, with george not being able to hack the speed, power and body-head combos hitting him every time he missed a shot, or tyson shows too much respect and wins a decision causing serious damage to foremans face and possibly retiring the old man. there is no way in hell an old foreman who had trouble blocking punches could withstand a prime mike tyson.
Tyson was no drugged out Bert Cooper or Rocky Sekorsky. I think stops Foreman in the mid-rounds. George would soak up a lot of punishment.
The only way George would take that fight is a mega $$ career exit because of the beating he would take and effectively would end his comeback, so $$$ matters. Whenever old Foreman stepped up slightly he either struggled or lost and for the majority he fought ham and eggers plus Arums corrupt manipulation of the rankings. While Foreman still had a good jab it was terribly slow, his cross arm defense is almost impossible to counter out of while infighting and he was easily hit by about everybody, if Holyfield would have had the pop of Tyson in his 15-20 shot barrage the fight would have been stopped, no question. Just for fun.....Stewart/Saverese were waxed by Tyson in ONE round combined....while both lasted the distance with Foreman, made him look like a swollen freak and some argue he got gift decisions in both fights...
