Ali would win easy, jabbing his head off and and following up with sharp hard right hands for 5 or 6 rounds before moving in for the kill and stopping Mike in 7 or 8, he was miles above Tyson who made a reputation KOing nobodies, the washed up and a light heavy shame he was found out as soon as people started hitting him back. If Douglas could dominate him with a jab and right hand what would the greatest have done. Even Tillis and Green showed up Tyson's vulnerability to a good jab.
Perfect fight for Tyson to really answer that burning,age-old question so many boxing fans have been asking for years:

tyson is my all time favorite fighter, that is before the guy in my avi came along. i used to think tyson would beat any boxer from any era. and as much as i would hate to say it, a prime ali would school a prime tyson. reason is tyson was never a 12 round fighter, he always faded in the late rounds, during his entire career, tydon only had 4 fights that lasted more than 10 rounds. as for ali, the guy was a beast, i mean, a 15 round boxing match was insane. my heart goes to tyson but my brain sides with ali on this.
cassius clay has been in with the best of em and have clowned em. mike's entire rep of murdering cans early in his career is overblown.
Sorry for the bump but that sig has me in tears :rofl:
Its a fantasy fight that will be spoken of for many many years. Most likely even after the fighters are gone. My head say's Ali but my heart says Mike.
A prime Ali would have beaten Tyson, probably knocking him out. Once Ali took Tyson's best punch and kept fighting, he would break Tyson down and knock him out.
