    Tyson blew out those who were afraid of him.

    Holyfield did fine because he wasn't afraid.

    George would not be afraid.

    Tyson would fear Foreman as baloney fears the grinder. No contest at any stage in either's career.

    Tyson had an aura about him that opponents were scared to death of - see both Frank Bruno fights for classic examples.

    Foreman wasn't bothered about getting in with Ali, so wouldn't think twice about getting in with Tyson.

    Big George TKO.

    Foreman.

    Tyson is the worst of all the ATG's.

    Tyson wins. Foreman might hit harder but he is an easy target. Boxing is just as much about not getting hit and Tyson was very good at that, as much as it is about hitting.

    in foreman's prime he looked awful primative at times esp in the ali fight, throwing stiff armed punches. tyson was a complete fighter and in his prime was not just another version of joe frazier (so you can't base your estimation on foreman-frazier). tyson wins more often than not.

    Foreman was slow and threw wide punches, Tyson would win because speed kills, Tyson's hands were much much faster than Foremans, Tyson at 5'11 220is not giving way much size to big George, 4 inhes and a couple of lbs isn't that bad, besides Tyson never got pushed around by a bigger guys in his prime he always struggled with fast,moble, technical fighters, which Foreman isn't.

    That was a peak against peak analysis, if anyone thinks that the 45 yr old Foreman would have a chance, I'd suggest you stop watching boxing.

    tyson out-points foreman in a relatively one sided fight IMO, Tyson was a slick boxer, foreman was a monstrous puncher with really poor technique, what makes you think Tyson is going to let foreman nail him with those bombs?

    Foreman is way too strong and way too good for Tyson to beat.
