as far as a fight between them, IMO
Pros for Foreman - A Jab that was almost as strong as most fighters hooks. His body punches could kill a man. Long Jab. Tough jaw.
Cons for Foreman - Tall against Tyson. Slower head movement
Pros for Tike Myson - Short, quick hooks. Deadly uppercuts. quick head movement. Being short?
Cons for Tike Myson - Being short? Short jabs, could be harder to get inside of Foreman. Has Tyson ever been hit by a huge punch? (not being sarcastic, just trying to remember one).
I would LOVE to see that fight.

Being short was a BIG advantage for Tyson. His height (and arm length) were directly proportional to the short powerful punches he threw. He always had upward leverage because everybody was taller than he was.
As for whether or not Tyson ever took a huge punch, watch the last few rounds of the Buster Douglas fight. He took more than 1 in that fight alone.
