you're forgetting one thing. those fights were past his prime. watch ali from 1960-1967. those fights were exciting, cause he moved fast and hit his opponents at will. even the quarry and bonavena fights in 1970 were very exciting.
i've seen those fights in the 60's boooooooooooooooring
cassius clay basically trash-talked his way to a title shot, no one had ever seen an athlete act like that, and that made more people come to see him fight.
plus tyson didnt have a gold medal like your boy alit. which made tyson even more special and unique. he didnt have the career starter upper like ali did with the gold medal but he was still well kknown in a year.and tyason even when not doing hot was always on ppv's if ali started to get sorry he defiantly would not be a ppv person.

but look who tyson had to go through, trevor friggin' berbick. look who clay had to go through, "the big bear" charles "sonny" liston, the most intimidating fighter in history. think tyson could've beat liston for the title, i don't think so!
Mike Tyson without a doubt, and I am far from a Tyson fan. Mike Tyson vs Ali? Kind of like a summer blockbuster vs a critically acclaimed masterpiece. Generally speaking, the summer blockbuster is more entertaining/exciting to watch, at least for the moment, while the critically acclaimed masterpiece is the more enduring due to its technical merits.
Earnie Shavers is my most exciting 70 wins with 66 by KO. I also thought Micheal Nunn, Ray Leonard, Roy Jones, Mike Tyson, and Mickey Ward were exciting.
