could tyson have beat ali if tyson fought like he fought mitch green?

[butterfly1964]

remember before frazier his chin wasnt great neither

It was the same chin he had against Frazier.

I have no idea why you chose this particular fight which was dull and had the crowd booing. I certainly wouldn't consider this one of Tyson's better performances. Not by a long shot.

Green offered very little offence or mobility and Tyson for the most part was content to lunge in with power shots then immediately rest on the inside and lock arms with Green and wait for the ref to break them apart. Tyson's one-punch power wasn't even on display as he never seriously hurt Green who was a fighter with little credentials other than losing a lopsided decision to Trevor Berbick.

Ummmm.....he was tall and had a good chin though.


I had to turn the sound off as I was reminded of why Ray Leonard is never used as a color commentator anymore. That's probably the worst most one sided call I've ever heard. Even when Green lands a clean solid punch Ray manages to gush praise upon Tyson "Look at Mike he's smiling!"....oh brother.

i'm looking at the frazier vs.ali fight and when frazier goes in he gets hit alot cause his hands were down,but he still got to ali. now with tyson when he went in with mitch green he used wide bob and weaves and kept his hands up and threw more then just the left look when going in,and threw the jab to get in also.I know u cant compare green to ali but they both threw alot in that fight and tyson reminded me of frazier in that fight. example of how tyson fought green.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBChe576oRI

No. That is all.

cos only two fighters ever stopped him compared to Tysons 5?

tyson lost mentally to alot of his fights,except for the douglas fight and lewis

ali was hurt alot in his prime and knocked down. he hardly was knocked down after his exile

i didnt choose this fight because of the excitment.i choose it cause he fought sorta like frazier but in my opinion alittle better in this fight

[Verstyle]

No. That is all.

Actually, Ali was hurt maybe two times in his prime and knocked down zero times, so you're wrong. Ali's chin was the same.

I'll repeat myself. Ali was never floored in his prime. Ali's prime was not in the first Cooper fight.

These are Ali's prime fights.

1964

Sonny Liston - Hurt once or twice

1965

Sonny Liston - Not hurt once

Floyd Patterosn - Hit maybe once or twice all night

1966

George Chuvalo - not hurt

Henry Cooper - not hurt

Brian London - Barely hit

Karl Mildenburger - Stunned a little in the 10th round

Cleveland Williams - Barely hit

1967

Ernie Terrel - barely hit

Zora Folley - not hurt




So that's a total of being hurt maybe three times, and being floored zero times.

End of discussion.
