      Of course he'd stand a chance. It's whether he would win that's debatable

        Nah, Tyson would get destroyed IMHO.

        He is not as smart as Ali.

          work rate
          head and body
          fast hands
          and
          power

          gf would flail his arms around hoping to deflect some of it.

            Mike Tyson would beat George Foreman IMO. Tyson is simply the superior boxer, period! George Foreman is a little overrated! And Mike Tyson can also be overrated, but he is undoubtedly is the better and more skilled boxer.

              Tyson never fought anyone good as Prime Foreman. He beat old version of Larry Holmes & that's it.

                How good is George Foreman exactly?

                - He has below average stamina.

                - He has below average head movement.

                - His defensive responsibility when punching is below average.

                - His punch technique is below average.

                - His ability to control range / distance is below average.

                - His overall defense is below average.


                This is a mismatch in terms of style and abilities in favor of Mike Tyson. George Foreman really wasn't that good in his 'prime'.

                  if george hits you 1st, chances are he hits you last. his chin was dependable.

                  but his tank and lack of defense.....tyson swarms him with 2 fisted aggression.

                    Prime Tyson had very fast hands, accurate combinations and great punching power in both hands. He would have a solid chance to win but I would pick Foreman to KO him just as he KOed Frazier.
