iron mike tyson vs Muhammad "The Greatest" Ali -- who will win

[Tha Greatest]

this has been debated for years
but it never has been here
both in their primes of course
who will win between these 2 great champs

[SalvaDominicano]

most people would say that ali would box circles around him but uh uh. not a prime mike. u people forget how fast he was. once mike got his shots in it'd be over. then u would say nah ali's defense is too good. he open in some places and tyson is known as probably the most devastating puncher in history.

ali vs tyson

speculation is difficult because you have to consider many things. However, when tyson arrived and started KOing everyone (and im speaking of the young motivated tyson of 86-87), i think even a prime Ali's skills would be obsolete compared to Tyson offense. Ali had a very durable chin but tyson would just keep attacking like a bull. Ali would not have known how to handle that.

Ali would have danced around mike for the first 3 rounds poppin him with the jab and tying him up until he felt mike starting to get tired and then he would step it up hitting mikes one dumbmensional ass with everything in the book until tyson quits like he does when he knows he can't win.... remember Tyson was the youngest but Ali is "The Greatest".....
Less talk about a better matchup who would win between sonny liston and young george foreman?

[MikeHunt]

Ali was to 'pretty' to lose to Tyson.

[muay]

Ali would box Tyson silly. Yes he would dance around, kept MT at a good distance with his jab...frustrating him...he wont do the rope-a-dope though, but i'd see him shoe-shining a confused Tyson in the late rounds...and Ali's gonna make a better job KTFOing him than Buster Douglas.

[Soundtraveler]

Ali would have no problem with Iron Mike - anyone who ever watched Ali and watched Tyson knows this.

I think even Tyson would say the same thing if asked.
You all know Tyson has no stamina, never has...

I used to think this was a slam dunk (i.e. for Ali) but now I'm not so sure. After re-watching Tyson ***** slap and literally torture Terrell Biggs to tears, it makes me wonder. For those of you who don't remember, Biggs was about as close to Ali in terms of style and skills as anyone ever was...
