George Foreman believes boxing legend Mike Tyson is capable of reclaiming a boxing heavyweight title\u2014even at 54 years of age.<\/p>\n

Tyson returned to the ring last weekend, battling fellow legend Roy Jones Jr. to an unofficial draw in an eight-round exhibition. While Tyson certainly looked slower than he did in his prime, he surprised many onlookers by delivering an extremely impressive performance nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Foreman, a legendary boxer<\/a> in his own right, was among those impressed by Tyson\u2014so much so that he believes the 54-year-old could reclaim a heavyweight title under the right circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he gets in shape like he\u2019s in now, and then gets his timing back, and all the other things fall into place, he can have an opportunity to fight for the title,\u201d Foreman told USA TODAY Sports<\/a> on Sunday. \u201cIf he can be managed right, a champion, the right champion, will come to him. And if the right one comes, he can knock him out.<\/p>\n

“Tyson looked great,\u201d Foreman added. \u201cHe really did. And Roy Jones had to use every old skill out of the book to keep himself from being knocked out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just couldn\u2019t believe what I saw. And that was just an exhibition. Just think if (Tyson) had some activity the last two years. He\u2019d be in line to be the champion of the world again at 54, 55.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foreman, like many, was impressed to see that Tyson seemed to possess much of his legendary power, even in his 50s. He was also impressed by the way the the legend responded to the brief patches of adversity he experienced in the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat impressed me most, he missed a lot of shots,\u201d Foreman said of Tyson. \u201cHe found himself out of position. He recaptured it and got back on track. Roy Jones had him confused the first round or two, and he fought through that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat impressed me more than anything he did. Keeping his mind in the game. He almost lost his cool a couple of times and he patted (Jones) on the shoulder and let him go.\u201d<\/p>\n
