      sad to say but i feel that too..homles was ali just a lil bit betta ..and frazier gave ali all sorts of trouble and tyson is the best type of that kind fighter that eva existed.. lewis was humongus and smart he aint great but his intelligence and size made him great when his footwork and speed did not

          I agree. Holmes had a superb jab and met and defeated all the top heavys of his time(I'm talking pre Tyson), I think people forget the fact he was champ for 7 years and was 48-0 before he ran into Spinks.

          And of course Tyson is the only man ever to stop him

              hmm

              Tyson may not have had the greatest reign, but in his prime he can compete with ANYONE, even if just because of his KO power. That includes Ali, no matter how much the old-timers say otherwise.

              Tyson in his prime wa just as mentally strong as anyone and had head-movement, was great at closing in and threw COMBOS, vicious combos.

              Don't look at Tyson of today and say that he would never beat Ali or compete with him, that's just wrong.
