If Muhammad Ali ever fought Mike Tyson

[iron_boy]

would be a great fight.. but i think a tyson before he got locked up would win

[Left Hook Tua]

Ali fought the Tyson of his day and "Shook up the World!"

ali fought 3 tysons of his day.

liston , frazier and foreman.

ali was 5-1 against them and 4 of those fights were past prime ali.

Yea Ali would get in Tysons head,he got into everybodys head and Tysons no different..
It would be an exciting first few rounds and I really think Tyson would give Ali problems before faltering later on to lose by decison or a late KO.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ali got off the canvas to get the win, there would be some edgy moments early on. But i think he would be too smart, too evasive and have too much stamina, once it got into the mid-late rounds he would really start to put on the pressure and break Tyson's will, eventually stopping him.

Ali would have stood less chance of getting inside the head of a young, Cus D'amato led Tyson, the Tyson who swept the HW division to unify the titles.
That would make the fight more interesting IMO as Tyson didnt know fear back then.
trying to be as subjective as i can, i say that Tyson wins the early rounds on pressure alone but gets frustrated by Ali's movement and great Jab, if Tyson doesnt KO Ali within 6 or 7 then i give an SD to Ali.

tyson couldn't ko ali.

liston , frazier , foreman and shavers couldn't.

norton breaking ali's jaw didn't ko ali...... i doubt tyson could land anything that would ko him. at best tyson can get flash knockdown of ali.

The Cus excuse is used way too much. Tyson had the same problems his whole life, it's just Cus was able to cover most of them up when Tyson was young.

I agree in part Live Dog, in that i dont doubt that Cus covered up a lot more than we are ever aware of, BUT i still feel that he was a different person entirely, and a different fighter when under Cus's guidance.
