I think this matchup would go to 3-4 rounds but I will go with Foreman.

Tyson all day everyday. His defense was impregnable.

Going Foreman. He handled Frazier and Tyson isn't hugely different than him.

Foreman was bigger (reach), stronger (clinch), hit harder, and could take a punch.

I think Tyson, if he came out guns blazing he could do some real damage, speed and strength of Tyson is nothing to messed with.
But if it does go past round 4 or 5, Foreman has it in the bag.

Foreman is a horrible matchup for Tyson. Foreman by KO in the 6th.

Tyson had the better technique and speed. While their power is comparable. Their weight is about equal too. There are lots of things about Foreman he could exploit.

Foreman wins in reach and style, he's good against people like Tyson.

A tie? Depends on who's on top of their game on that day.

As much as I love me some Mike tyson,I think a prime foreman was too smart ,experienced ,had a hell of a chin,would smother mike and not let tyson get into a rythym to swing at will.eventually mike would gas out and foreman would cApitilize.
