Mike Tyson's best bet would be go to the body while Muhammad Ali's on the ropes, and i still don't think he would have much effect on Muhammad Ali. Considering Muhammad Got pounded to the body constantly by Joe Frazier and nothing happened.
Mike Tyson's concentration is what lets him down even in his prime against Jose Ribalta, he got sloppy and frustrated when he couldn't finish off Jose Ribalta early, and even against James Tillis, Tony Tucker, it shows aswell.
Thats why Mike Tyson rarely has a KO in the 2nd half of a fight, because he gets sloppy and starts looking for the 1 punch KO. Instead of setting up his punches like he would do early on.
Muhammad Ali is totally different his concentration is amazing, the way he studied George Foreman while being on the ropes was masterful to watch.Comment

I don't give a damn what anyone says... You and I both know that the ref gave Buster a slow ass count to 15 and gave Tyson a quick count out. Tyson won that fight. The referee of the fight was a moron.Comment

** Oh, wowie zowie, espeons has spoken and minions of opinions and other assorted orifices must bow, eh?
Well, then, time to go to Ibro where Harry Greb beats Ali because he's greater than Ali and whipped every heavy that would fight him and Joe Louis whoops the both. Question already been sorted for those who like their tenderloins prechewed and their escargot gently pregummed.
For the rest of us, my heavens to the gods of splotto, Ali is one of the most beatable champions in the history of the sport through out his career. Had that been 19 yr old Tyson in the ring instead of Sonny Banks, Ali might have crashed the mothership on the dark side of the moon before Pink Floyd.
Going up through the ranks from Doug Jones, Cooper, Mildenberger, comeback fiascos aplenty, you could plug any similar aged great in those fights and Ali could well be beaten. Norton owned him outright in spite of what the record shows.
Oh, wow, you say Tyson got beat too? Duhhhh! Means you got a fight that anyone can win on their day. Youth favors Tyson and experience favors Ali over time.
Be great fights unless you like your tenderloin prechewed and escargot pregummed and your beer lite.Comment

First off.. I don't nut hug any one... If you watch boxing you can clearly see what happened in that fight. Yeah Buster won with the help of the referee because he was clearly knocked the **** out! Just go back and rewatch the footage and count how many seconds that referee wastes. I could give a **** about the Holyfield fight. Holyfield needs to retire. Lennox Lewis beat the hell out of Mike Tyson no excuses.
This is what I have to say to the poster above.

Then why do you have a hammerlock on Tyson's gonads?
Now, stop giving your hero blow-jobs and get a clue about boxing.

I don't know about that one. My boxing collection is pretty deep.
It seems you got your mouth wrapped around ali's nuts.
Mike Tyson = 50-6
Muhammad Ali = 56-5
Ali had six more fights than Tyson and one less loss than him.
Yes Ali fought the tougher fights. 12+ 15 round fights.
Ali would take punishment to the body round after round
Tyson would knock opponents out within the first 3 rounds
Two of the greatest heavyweights to ever step in the ring.
Like I said before this fight can go either way.
I see it being a trilogy
Fight Night Round 4 is the only way this fight can happen. It is truly The Dream Match and i'm not talking about the ****ty fight between De La Hoya and Pacman.
Tyson is one of the most dangerous fighters on the inside
Ali is one of the most dangerous fighters on the outside from a distance
This thread is about Prime Ali vs. Prime Tyson
Not about who's nuthugging.
You should get a clue about boxing rather than arguing like a damn kid.Comment

Then you need to roll yourself over to the video download forum and compare your collection to mine.
Ali isn't even my favorite Heavyweight, Joe Louis is. I also have a fondness fore Larry Holmes and Sonny Liston.

No he wasn't. Tyson didn't like to fight on the inside and would tie his man up when he got there. Tyson preffered to fight at mid-range where he could get maximum leverage into his punches. If you have really watched Tyson you would know that.

No doubt - and I despise Tyson.
As for Tyson-Ali.. I see Tyson swinging at air for much of this fight, and getting peppered with jabs until he can barely see out of his swollen eyes. He might wobble Ali once or twice after landing some solid (i.e. lucky) blows, but a pissed-off Ali would eventually have his way as he did against great sluggers like Foreman, Shavers, Liston, etc.
I'm sure Tyson devotees would envision a much closer fight, but can anyone truly see him winning this thing? Ali had the edge in everything but power.Comment
