    If the ref lets Foreman get away with all the shoving, I don't see Tyson as having much of a shot. If there's no shoving and it's just a slug fest, I like Tyson's chances. He's faster, he's got enough power to hurt anyone, he's great at countering, and he's got a good chin.

    This is an interesting, conceivable idea.

    Excellent assessment. Foreman had a lot going for him otherwise but the advantage gained from pushing can’t be underrated.

    The thing in George’s favour is that he will likely get away with the shoving if he ultimately secures the fast KO result he’s looking for. A vigilant ref can warn him, even deduct points but then all policing actions are mooted when George lays his opponent down in 2-3 rds.
