    Foreman had an overall size/weight advantage that Tyson does not. That helped keep others from bullying Foreman in the ring during his comeback.

    Tysons main advantage was always his speed. He ain't getting that back.

      As I mentioned Tyson's body always followed his mind, if the mind was there the fight was there.

      I legit think this Tyson with his mind right would be better than Tyson post 2000s at least.
      I dont think 14 yrs will let that happen. but it depends on the opponents and there are plenty of ordinary HWs around.

        1. Mike will be 54 by the time he can fight again. Foreman was just shy of 49 when he retired; he was 38 when he started his comeback.
        2. Foreman was out ten years, Mike has been out 15
        3. Last time we saw Mike he got knocked out by a journeyman
        4. The time before the last time we saw Mike, he got knocked out by a journeyman
        5. Foreman didn't abuse his body like Mike did

            Yes and no. Foreman returned to boxing with a food addiction and was downright obese if you want to get technical.

            Mike physically looks very different than even a year ago. His body looks more than fine right now.

            This is a new age, a 50 year old 25 or 30 years ago was looked at like a grandfather.

            Athletes are performing at higher levels at much older ages than ever before.

            I'm not saying Mike will be the HW champ but a return is not out of the question.

            And again the Mike we saw last was a clinically depressed drug addict. Mike has taken better care of himself the last couple years.
