    I just think look at the trouble Ali had with Frazier who i luv but was esentially a 1 handed fighter u know? Tyson was far quicker, two fisted, more power in his shots and had better D to boot
    True..... but the Ali that faced Frasier was not a prime Ali

    Ali had the chin to take Tyson's punches and had the style and boxing intellect to destroy Tyson.

      Tyson would have given any fighter trouble but I think Ali, Foreman, Louis, Lewis, Dempsey, Bowe and obviously Holyfield would have beat him prime for prime.
      Joe was tougher id agree but Mikes heart and toughness are overlooked too man, in his prime when he LOVED to fight he was as game as any ****!

        Thats true. A young Clay gets Stopped and the Williams version of Ali still gets outpointed, he was alot better back then and would have a good shout but for me its Mike everyday of the week but hey im a Tysonite thru and thru!!!

          Oh definitely. To say someone isnt as tough as Joe Frazier isn't to say the man isnt tough - I can't think of many as tough as Smokin Joe

              I think Ali would weather an early storm and come back to beat Tyson by wide ud....maybe possible late tko.

                  Outside the top 10.

                  If it was based on potential then he is top 5 material but i base mine on skill and resume.

                    I think Tyson doesn't always get the recognition that he deserves. When I read people's post about him or sometimes articles, people just like to bash him.

                    when he knockout Larry Holmes. People say he was an over the hill larry holmes, but tyson is the only one to ever knock him out.

                    when he knockedout michael spinks, people said he kod a blown up heavyweight, but that blown up heavyweight beat larr holmes for the belt and beat him to retain the belt.

                    people have their opinions on certain matters and i'll just leave it at that.

                    personally, in his prime i think he could beat any heavyweight or at least give them a run for the money. of course there would be tough matches, but his head movemet, his jab, going to the body, the speed he had, and of couse his power. i would not count out tyson in any fight when he is in his prime

                      tyson fans are some of the most delusional on the planet.
                      sad really. just as sad as the klitschko fans.

                      tyson fans remind me of extremists in a way.
                      whether they're christians or ******s doesn't change ****.
                      they'll believe in their imaginary friend whatever you say.....

                      same goes with tyson. if you contradict these fans..they'll go ape ****.
                      whatever you say , you're wrong.
