Hmmmm...Damn tough one to call here. Foreman was a killing machine back then as was Tyson. Possibly one of the most brutal yet beautiful fantasy matchups ever!!
73' Foreman VS. 88' Tyson

It's a tough call but i'll side with Tyson. He still had his head movement in '88 and i can't see Big George landing a big enough punch to bother him. Up until he got upset by Douglas he was only ever hurt by one punch - a lucky shot thrown by Frank Bruno. Foreman was a monster but he lacked the finer points of the game. Tyson back then was the perfect package. Tyson by KO.Comment

Big George never had any problems with shorter heavyweights. That's why he came out of retirement in 88, to fight Tyson. I think even an OLD Forman had a damn good chance against a PRIME Tyson.Comment

Foreman by Ko within 6 rounds we know Foreman can get up to win but Tyson has never proved that he can. When the going gets tough it's usually Tyson that gets going. Tyson would have his moments but I see Foreman keeping him off balance with the pushing tactics and keeping Mike on the back foot. Both guys like to come forward but I think the naturally stronger and bigger guy Foreman will be theguy to dictate.Comment

This fight is for the Fantasy board, but that said, Foreman would handle Tyson with NO PROBLEM, and he is just to BIG for Tyson, who wouldn't make it past the 6th Round against Foreman - even now....Originally posted by foremanfanForeman by Ko within 6 rounds we know Foreman can get up to win but Tyson has never proved that he can.
