Prime Mike Tyson vs Prime George Foreman, who would win?

[KingofAesthetics]

While I suspect that Mike Tyson would have beaten Ali, I wonder if he could beat Foreman. George Foreman was way stronger than Ali. Foreman has height and reach advantages over Tyson.

Interesting question. As an amateur boxer myself, I'd say that would depend on which version of George Foremen you're taking about. If you're talking about younger George, then he'd still beat Tyson by late KO. However, young Foreman was a pretty wild brawler who threw swings, leaving himself open, thus making him struggle a bit with Tyson at first by being constantly knocked down and getting back up for the first few rounds.

Old George Foreman on the other hand, is more technically sound (with his jabs and cross-arm blocking defense) and patient. The older version of himself would have an easier time beating Tyson compared to his younger version.

This is a great question.. Mike Tyson with his hand speed and punching power I think he can upset George Forman TKO early. I also think George could catch him and stop mike. Its to close to call really

Now add Rocky_Marciano to this he never lost a Pro Fight World Champion

Mike looks stronger
They are both around the same weight I guess
Ehh Mike.

Foreman is about 6" taller which is why they look different.

Ah okay @kheserthorpe

The thing about Foreman is that man was like a bleeding sniper with the precision of his blows. Watching his later fights is so sad because you see even then that he saw every opening and just simply didn't have the body to take advantage of them anymore.

Foreman before he found God, easily over Tyson
Foreman after he found God, Tyson easily

Foreman was a beast in his early days, very like Tyson. The difference between the two is both can fire bombs, but Big George could take a punch

Foreman by better chin. They'd both land some heavy shots.

It would be Joe FraIer all over again.
