    Muhammad Ali (Zora Folley) vs Mike Tyson (Carl Williams)

    I know this has been asked over a million times.

    But I want to get thoughts on the version of Ali that beat Folley vs the Tyson that beat Williams.

    I think it would be a supreme matchup. The two most iconic boxers going at it in what would presumably be their peak as far as all around skill and physical being.

    These were the last two fights for each of them in what may have been their best form.

    Personally I think it's a late rounds Ali TKO or either UD. But it's up for debate for sure.

    Tyson is my favorite fighter but I believe Ali is the best.

      You can personally believe what you wish...the fact is fighting a 200 pound past prime guy is not the same as fighting a 220 pound killing machine in Tyson.

        Ali treats Tyson like his child. The mental gap in terms of mental strength between these two is even larger than their reach and height.

          I don't think Ali has a chance against motivated Tyson. Tyson can match Ali's speed and was too strong.

            lol Tyson would be the one with the puncher's chance. The only advantage he has is power which would no longer put a dent in Ali's iron jaw after the mid rounds. Ali's got everything on him.
