cool he admits he'd lose to a fighter he never fought? it means nothing.
And George Foreman once said he could never beat Ross Purrity.....Anbody buy THAT one? Fighters say a lot of **** and you can rarely take it seriously.
Ali, Tyson and Ray Leonard met on an American talk show and the host asked Ali who would win between him and Tyson if they had met. A long retired Ali suffering from Parkinsons graciously said that Tyson would win. I doubt he'd genuinely have thought that.
No doubt, if the talk show had happened ten years previously and Ali had been met with the same question the answer would have been different. He'd have started dancing all over the stage........ 'I'm too fast, hes got no class, he may have a punch but I'll eat him for lunch'!!!!

Yeah,that was on the Arseno Hall show.
Ali was being gracious,just like he was about Marciano.
But after saying Tyson would knock him out several times,and Tyson being gracious in return saying"NO WAY could I knock out Muhammad Ali,he took harder punches from men who hit harder than I did.Then he named the fighters....Liston,Forman,and Shavers.So both were being polite and gracious to each other.But then Ali said:that's if he could catch me!
Then they had the audience decide who would win between the two fighters.Tyson got a good applause,and then Ali got a louder applause and chants of Ali,Ali,Ali!
Behind the scenes without camera's Ali spoke in a reverent tone of voice about Jack Johnson,Jack Dempsey,and Joe Louis.No doubt if he would have fought them for real he would be calling them bumb's etc. etc.
