LOL!

One post you're telling someone not to hold things against Tyson when he was past his prime, yet right away you're giving credit to Tyson for beating a couple of HOF'ers who themselves were past their prime...

LOL!

If that's not hypocrisy at it's best, then Bruenor is in fact a bearded gnome!

his real prime actually started with the folley fight in 1967, but he was stripped, so he was robbed of his real, actual prime.

I believe rocky would give Ali trouble, and frazier did give him trouble. But never tyson. You cannot deny that tysons mentality was hopeless for the ring. Without a doubt Ali would infuriate tyson before stepping into the ring, and frustrate him immensely whilst in the ring. Ali is the one fighter who could really make tyson look bad, his unorthodox style, moving laterally and launching jabs from odd angles, leading with a right cross from the periphery... the sheer speed and quantity of punches thrown in these flurries from the outside would overwhelm Tyson. Ali was a range fighter, no-1 was as good at judging, and dictating the range as Ali... and i think this would drive tyson nuts. Tyson would eventually get Ali on the ropes and Ali would tie him up and continue. Tyson, like most fighters have never seen or experienced a fighter as 'odd' as Ali, and Tyson would not have the capacity to adapt to him. Ali Ko 10.

Heres a article excerpt from a sportswriter:

The one great swarming heavyweight that I would give little chance to beat Ali had they both met in their primes is Mike Tyson. Ali had the perfect ring psychology to defeat Tyson. In Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times by Thomas Hauser, all five people associated with Tyson picked Ali in a dream fight over Tyson. That list included Tyson trainers Kevin Rooney and Teddy Atlas, former manager Bill Cayton, and former D’Amato champions Floyd Patterson and Jose Torres. In the Sept 1988 Ring when Tyson was undefeated and at the peak of his popularity, I had a letter published, "Tyson Versus Heroes of the Past" where I noted Ali's "amazing speed and footwork would easily frustrate Tyson." When Tyson was finally defeated for the first time it was the stick and move tactics of Buster Douglas that defeated him in Ali like fashion.

Tyson was at his peak at a young age while Ali hit his peak as he matured physically. What if Ali and Tyson both met at age 20? The story here might be different. Tyson peaked early, had the explosive, speed, power, head movement and good defense to get inside on the fighter then known as Cassius Clay. The young Ali had not filled out yet and his ability to take a punch was not quite what it would be later. The left hook of Sonny Banks and also the left hook of Henry Cooper dropped Clay. Tyson was far and away superior over those men in speed, power, punching accuracy and combination punching. Against a young prime Tyson, Clay/Ali is going to get hit with consecutive power shots after being rocked. The 20 year old Tyson knocks out the 20 year old Clay who had not yet reached his prime years.

Cus thinks Ali would take out tyson, and i think its safe to say he would know best.
