And he was arguably better in his older age.
Foreman is just the type of fighter that would have given prime Mike problems with the reach advantage and being much taller.
If Foreman could have worked that jab and kept Iron Mike on the outside things would have gotten interesting.
If Iron Mike got on the inside of you which is were he preferred to fight from his left hook and uppercuts were deadly.

I don't think George was fast enough to keep Mike outside for long.

I'm going with Foreman. He was a big ass dude that could take a punch while dishing the damage right back. If he could fight Ali he could fight Tyson

Anyone who knows George Foreman or seen his ringside manner should note that Foreman's humbleness often lends way to his self depreciating manner of speech, in which he often bigs up his opponent while making himself the butt of whatever joke or light hearted banter he has going.
Prime Tyson vs Prime Foreman is the only match that I'd be worried about in terms of losing my Tyson backed dollars 'cause Gorgeous George had the power to stop Tyson with a longer reach and a bit more Stamina even though Tyson wasn't exactly a slouch but rarely went the distance before his downfall.
I know y'all nikkas trying to make this a height oriented thread, but for real, compared to Frazier/Ali and everyone else inbetween, I think the only one that would have gave Tyson that work, quick and fast if possible, would have been Foreman.

He went toe to toe with Ali, and Foreman actually could take a punch. Not saying who would have won, but Tyson would have had his hands full even with an aging Foreman.
People forget about that Micheal Moore fight and how he took much younger guys like Holyfield and Tommy Morrison the distance even though he lost those fights.
Foreman didn't jab tho
I'm speaking in hypotheticals in reference to what could have happened and an advantage Foreman would have had if he used it and had the right trainer.
Not a serious boxer? What the fukk are you talking about?
Tommy Morrison was called white Tyson. I think that style of boxing would have ultimately won out.
Also take into account that prime Mike Tyson had God level defense and head movement. If foreman was to extend that jab, I can see Tyson's next two punches being body shot, upper cut. Tyson would see Foreman's punches from a mile away

Now Tommy is called White Magic.
