Tyson by late TKO. Even if intimidated, I see Tyson having a great chance to win.

This all comes down to how well conditioned/trained tyson is
Style Wise Foreman should win but Tyson can surprise you

I guess I think of how Moorer beat up Foreman until Foreman threw a bunny punch that put him down. I think that Tyson would pound Foreman in the 90's in similar fashion while Foreman hopes to land a few right hands. Foreman was still dangerous, and he always would be. Shoot, he could still probably knock some guys out who are in the division today. I just see Tyson really landing some uncontested combos, and he definitely hit more effectively than Holyfield or Moorer. He would probably get pissed when Foreman wouldn't go down, however, and that could cost him. Even so, I predict Tyson TKO 6.
A much more thrilling fight might be 87 Tyson vs. 73 Foreman. Both were much quicker; Tyson being very defensive and George was a wrecking machine... whew!

Tyson didn't want to fight this version of Foreman which would have been the biggest money fight at the time. Tyson chose to fight Alex Stewart instead while Foreman fought the next biggest money fight Evander Holyfield.

If Foreman wants to do something to a swarming wrecking machine like Tyson, he would have to be quick with his punches and at the same time try to keep Tyson off. Tyson of the 90s was not the peek a boo style fighter he was in the 80s, but he would really have to use it slip those 10 second right uppercuts from Foreman.
Oh and smasher, its not you're being taken serious because of your hate for Tyon.Last edited by BKM-; 05-15-2006, 08:48 AM.

I could just as easily say Tyson was manhandled then floored by a Holyfield body punch and stopped by the 18-1 underdog who hadn't had a KO win over a heavyweight in 5 years. Gee imagine what the Foreman that KO'd Cooney or Rodrigues would do.....

I think Foreman could pull it off with a surprise KO. I wasn't that impressed with 90's Tyson but I think he would out point Foreman. George would need a KO to win and who's to say he couldn't land that big right?

He very well could have landed that big right, but I don't think he would have jumped on the ball if he saw Tyson was hurt (which of course, was rarely the case after only one punch). Even so, I think that Tyson might win on points, or by a mid-to-late k.o. while Foreman was tired and basically defenseless.
