HOUSTON, TX.---George Foreman, the oldest world heavyweight boxing champion of all-time,believes he has the plan to manage and train the youngest world heavyweight champion of all-time Mike Tyson back to the championship.
Foreman won the heavyweight title the first time in 1973 with a win over Joe Frazier.At the age of 45 in 1994, he upset Michael Moorer to win the title for the second time.
Tyson won the title for the first time in 1986 defeating Trevor Berbick to become the youngest heavyweight champion of all time at 20. At the age of 38, Foreman thinks Tyson has a chance to win the title a third time.
"I think of potential when I see him now," Foreman told this reporter recently in Houston, Texas. "At 38 or 39 years-old he had a long way to go. He shouldn't be thinking it is all over for him. He needs people around him telling him it is not over. He can still turn things around."
Foreman retired for more than ten years before he made a comeback at the age of 39. He compares his fighting at that age with Tyson's situation currently.
"He is in the prime of his life," Foreman added seriously."People forget.He can comeback. People will still be with him.He shouldn't be thinking it is all over. I started my comeback around the same age."
