    Tyson vs Ali both in there prime who would win?

    In many of peoples minds Muhammad Ali is the greatest of all time. He had amazing matches with liston, frazer & foreman and beat the best there was in his era! In the other hand you have Mike Tyson who steam rolled through everyone in the heavyweight division in the 1980's. His opponents might not of been as good as Ali's but Tyson took on anyone and mostly KO'd them. Tysons best performance was against Spinks when he brutally destroyed him im 90 seconds. Ali had the best movement ever to been seen by a heavyweight and had great boxing skills. Tyson had the most power and best head movement ever to been seen by a heavyweight. Its a hard fight to call but i would have to give it to Tyson.The way he fought in the 80's nobody could touch him also Tyson was 10 times better than Frazer and he put Ali down so Tyson would have KO'd him!

      Ali would win. Reason why is because if Ali can take George's punchs then he can sure as well take Tysons. Geroge punches harder then Tyson may not be as aggresive but I see him as a better fighter.

          Tyson loses because Ali would have been on his toes pumping his jab in Tyson's face during the early rounds and then sitting down on more of his punches in the later rounds. What needs to be understood about Tyson is that he won a lot of his fights out fear. Too many of Tyson's opponent had lost before the fight even started because they were so scared of Tyson.

            I hate when this debate pops up. Ali would simply outsmart Tyson with the rope-a-dope and quick combinations on the inside. Ali took a prime George Foreman's best punches and never fell, Tyson doesn't hit as hard as Foreman. I know you could argue Tyson's aggression and speed, but I see them as drawbacks. Tyson would be so fixated with trying to knock Ali out, he would ultimately punch himself out of energy and out of the fight.

              True.


              Tyson had the most power and best head movement ever to been seen by a heavyweight.


              Hmm no he never.

              Tyson was 10 times better than frazier? How do you work that one out?


              Ali to KO tyson before the 6th round.

              Ali is one of the greatest Heavyweights who ever lived! Tyson aint.

                OK I can completely discredit any of your further posts now for saying Tyson was better than Frazier, let alone 10X better. Who did Tyson beat that was the equal of a prime Ali? Hmmm...........

                  IronMike1984 is comming out with some pretty crazy Tyson comments.Im thinking his mom just bought him Tysons greatest hits or some ****. I think he should go an study other boxers before droping more drivel on us.

                    For the record, the left hook from Frazier in the 15th round of their first fight tha tput Ali down is still the most brutal left hook upstairs I've seen. Ali hit the mat like a ****ing brick. Frazier > Tyson.
