If Muhammad Ali ever fought Mike Tyson

[bishop2006]

Tyson would win IMO,Ali had problems with some fighters,like Joe Frazier,a smaller but compact and agressive fighter,IMO,a prime Tyson had more power then Frazier,had a better chin,and was more of a monster,Tyson would win.

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.

cus died before tyson won any of his belts.

cus dying hurt tyson but it didn't hurt him in the ring.

cus could have helped his personal life and that would've helped him a bit in the ring but who's to say all that money and fame wouldn't have turned mike into the exact same person he did.

success can lead people to rebel against authoritarian figures in their lives.

I can dig it. Cus was a father figure to Mike and that is always a tough situation when that person is no longer around.

On another note, I'm a big fan of Keith Olberman. For those that don't know, Keith is a radio/tv personality in the states who covers politics/sports. He was on the radio awhile back talking about the first time he had met Tyson and how he had this preconceived notion of how Mike was going to behave. The difference being that Olberman is actually a distant relative of D'amato's and when he told Mike that he turned into a puppy dog. Kept following him around the whole night wanting to talk about Cus.

He also lacks Joe's heart.

that theory might work if frazier had faced the prime ali.

he didn't. so that theory doesn't work.

i wouldnt be at all suprised about that dude, if not for Cus then Tyson would have been in jail long before he actually was and I have seen interviews with Mike where he talks about Cus and you can actually see the steel melt when he talks about him.

My favourite Tyson interview is with some news guy and Tyson keeps swearing. And the news guy is like "Ok, back to the studio, good luck with the fight Mike" and Mike looks to the camera and just go's "**** off!"
