        Foreman had 20 wins, 19 by KO/TKO in his comeback when Mike chose to fight journeyman and 42-1 underdog Buster Douglas instead. At that point, George had barely turned 41, almost 5 years before KOing Moorer and almost 8 years before arguably beating a young Shannon Briggs. I'm not nearly as confident this version of George could have beaten Tyson, it would have been a good fight.

          Based on how well Moorer did against him, Tyson would have KO'd Foreman quick. No good fight about it. If Holyfield had hit as hard as Tyson, Foreman would have been KO'd in the second.

            I wouldn't base it on Moorer fight i would base it more on the Alex Stewart fight but i can't see Tyson KO old Foreman because Foreman had chin of granite.
