    Young Tyson’s self-esteem was vulnerable.
    I can see Ali’s prefight boasting and babbling getting under Tyson’s skin.
    It hadn’t done Tyson any good.
    - -Tell you what, Tyson had Jimmy Jacobs, Bill Cayton and even though he had passed, Cus D'Amato as his team.

    Better'n Dundee and Bundini for sure. 88 Tyson bettern the 71 Frazier that whooped Ali every which way but loose

      But if not, the ’66 Ali was already a mastermind in reading and preparing for his opponents.
      I can see Ali dance and snapping punches to Tyson’s shoulders, having Tyson’s heavy artillery anesthetized.

      Ali by wide decision.
      ^this. I was posting something similar. '66 Ali was way too aware at reading.

        Tyson too crafty, Ali hits too hard. Just box, Mike, don't get into a slugging match with the Louisville strongman. Ali, the man will feint you out of your shoes. But Mike's a sucker for your big lefhook to the liver. Watch it, now. And Mike will throw your own shuffle right back at you. He is surprisingly good at it. Ahooga! Ahooga!
