Prime Mike Tyson vs. Prime George Foreman
I think Foreman stops him under 6th round. Post Prison Tyson avoided big george after Foreman became the oldest heavyweight champion after KO'ing Michael Moorer.

Prime Mike Tyson has one of the weakest resumes ever for someone so "GREAT."
He beat Michael Spinks moving up from Light Heavyweight and 40 year old Larry Holmes who had been retired for like 4 years.

Mike was a very exciting fighter. He might beat Frazier and Marciano in a fantasy fight. But losses to the Ali, Foreman, Lewis, Liston, Louis in a fantasy fight. Mike could have been a great Cruiserweight. Holyfield had a better resume than him.

He definitely was dominating a pretty weak era in general.

Foreman had the same power as Mike, but was like half a foot taller. He would have obliterated him.

Re: Prime Mike Tyson vs. Prime George Foreman
Have you seen George foreman’s fists? Dude would crush mike prime vs prime. I like mike a lot but there is only so much willpower you can use against a guy like that. Foreman has the best knockout percentage

Cus would had hide Tyson from Foreman just like what he did with his stable Patterson when he kept him away from Liston.

It wasn't a weak era, he was fighting weak opponents.

I listen to Mike Tyson's youtube channel he has now all the time and really like him. But Tyson is in the same mold as Joe Frazier... a short power brawler. Foreman was a tall power brawler with superior reach. And Foreman beat Frazier both times.

Frazier fought the best and beat the best.
Tyson, not so much.

Frazier is a GOAT. My top 3 favorite boxers ever are Ali, Foreman, and Frazier. They're like the holy trinity of boxing.

Ali would have problems with mike like he did with fraizer because of the bully bum rush tactic. But tyson has better foot work than fraizer.
But iron vs george will be different because mike cannot stop a bigger guy with reach like that similar to holyfield
But then again, mike wasnt trained under cus

Re: Prime Mike Tyson vs. Prime George Foreman
I think Mike Tyson as he was would have a huge problem with Foreman. The thing is, young Foreman fought one way only. There are strategies to neutralize that style, especially for a specimen like Tyson. I think this would be more of a battle between Cus D'Amato/Kevin Rooney vs Foreman.
