    Ali struggled with Frazier's style ,i think Tyson hits harder is quicker ,takes better punch his stamina is as good as Frazier the only criticism i can throw at Tyson is that he did 'nt have Fraziers heart, oh yeah Tyson was more ellusive than Frazier

    id pick a prime
    Tyson to beat Ali
    Ali took Fraziers best left hooks, many times in that first fight.
    Ali took shots from Foreman, Shavers, Liston, Patterson.
    Tyson hardly ever scored a KO after the first 5 rounds.
    Ali had tremendous heart and stamina.
    Ali was barely touched in his prime.



    Anyone who says "the Tyson that fough Spinks was unbeatable" is a moron. U cannot judge how good a fighter is based on 91 seconds. Greatness is shown by overcoming a great test. Spinks did not test Tyson.

    We dont really know how great a prime Tyson was because he never faced a great fighter.

    Tysons head movement isnt fast enough to avoid Alis jab. Ali ties Tyson up. Frustrates him. And as Tyson slows after 6-7 rounds, Ali out points him.

      yes tyson is stronger and faster, but frazier outclasses him by stamina, chin and heart.

      ali beat harder punchers than tyson in foreman and shavers

          I love it how people think Tyson KO's a peak Ali, yet he couldn't KO James Smith and Tony Tucker during his hot streak. Dispatching Spinks, an old Larry Holmes and Frank Bruno doesn't equal boxing immortality IMO; however I'm not a 10 year old fan boy so why would it?

            Prime Ali would have wiped the floor with him, he's too short and Ali was too skillful. 10 rounds to 2 Ali.

              Foreman was a better boxer that Tyson ever was.. prime or not..

                A prime Foreman OWNS a prime Tyson, an old Foreman OWNS an old Tyson and an old Foreman is a pickem vs a young Tyson. Tyson vs the Ali that beat Liston? Cmon, Ali would run circles around him, not even close.

                  tyson WOULD NOT knock out ali!!

                  past his prime ali facedd a man called ernie shavers(regarded by most experts as the hardest hitting boxer of all time) in the second round shavers dazed him with huge haymaker rights he must have landed 5 or 6 clean blows and yet he stayed on his feet and started to come back in that round!

                  tyson would not knock him out. the chances of tyson winning by decision are not much better. ali was too smart and strong for him.

                    Screw that, I want to see Iron Mike against Ali now!!! But yeah I think Mike would have a good chance of KOing Ali, but he would have to do it early or Ali would beat him down late.
