    **1986 Mike Tyson vs 1974 George Foreman**

    Who would you pick in this matchup...



    I know alot of people say Foreman would do to Tyson what he did to Fraizer, but they are two different fighters....

    Anyway, could be an interesting matchup...

    Big George would dominate him his chin was to good,Ali only koed him because he was exhausted.I think it would look a lot like Tyson Lewis to be honest.

      hard to say really...foreman has great power and long reach in his prime and was a devastating puncher...mike was a hard puncher in his prime also but he was also speedy...only disadvantages for both are that george didnt know how to pace himself and mike didnt always deal well with fighters who were bigger then him

          I agree with this. Speed could be the killer factor here and how Tyson always finds his way inside with his good head movement, I voted Tyson knocking out Foreman. I can just see Tyson pushing his momentum upwards with that power KO punch, being a shorter guy and all. Well if only..

            86 Tyson could hit harder than Frazier and Foreman comined. He was slick and his footwork was faster than Ali.

            He's whip that boy into the canvas I'd say 7 round KO or TKO.

              Only thing tyson had on foreman was speed, everything else foreman was better at.

              I'd say foreman by murder. Tyson got knocked out by nobodies, foreman had a better resume.

                Foreman would stop mike, mike never beat anyone even half as good as a prime foreman

                  lol tyson is ranked 16/100 of hardest punchers of all time. His power is seriously overrated.

                    This is 86 Tyson not post jail screwed in the head Tyson.

                    Go see the speed, the footwork, the power.

                    He had it all at that age and 74 Foreman was just stumbling around like a mummy.

                    Its like asking if Frazier had 2 good eyes would he have beat Foreman and Ali..yes!
