Foreman.
Tyson is not stopping him and George always had the worst syle possible for short swarmers who had to get in range.
Foreman would take punishment in the first four or five rounds then Tyson would tire and George would land an uppercut that deposits him into the Oort cloud.
Ruddock was good but George is simply on another planet.

Yes he beat Moorer later but was miles behind.
Plus the Foreman of '91 gave an absolutely prime, undefeated Holy sheer Hell (7 is an atg round).
And I am not sure Mike had the discipline to change his style that drastically.
Morrison turned into Usain Bolt for that match with George, I think Tyson had too much pride to do that.
Good discussion.

It's possible but George was already really feeling his age by late '93 and had deteriorated significantly.

See, Foreman versus Morrison & Holyfield.
In 91 Mike KO Razor Ruddock and then beat him up in the rematch.
Big George KOs Razor both times.
They couldn't fight in 91 because...
1. DKing control Tyson
2. Not enough $$$ close to matching the $22mil split purse the Chinese were offering in 89 before Tiananmen Square massacre...simples...
