Prove me wrong Ali fans...
I think you guys are fooling yourselves with the "nostalgia factor" and assume old school is tougher than new school. Remember, we are talking about both fighters IN THEIR PRIME - you are looking at Tyson's later blounders and trying to lessen his early dominance. Remember, Ali got his jaw broken by Ken Norton!?! Listen Ali fans, who did Ali fight that would equate to Tyson in his prime? Foreman? Frazier? Well, turn it around and be honest - a 1986 Tyson versus Foreman or Frazier (in their prime)? You saw what Tyson did to Frazier's son... 30 seconds? You are idolizing Ali for a reason unknown to me - it would be no contest. A prime Tyson would KO Ali because you talk about imtimidation from Tyson? Who trash talked like no other?? Hello - Ali?? No, not intimidation - go back, boxing buffs, and look at the tapes, first Ali and then Tyson - PICK YOUR FIGHT - how fast are they in comparison to each other? If you are honest, you will realize that Tyson's speed would dictate the fight, just like it did every '80's fight Tyson was in and Tyson would pummel Ali. Now do your homework and prove me wrong...
