    Tysons biggest advantage was that his opponents feared him. I doubt Ali would fear him...not only that he would belittle him and make Tyson fight angry, Id go with Ali.

      If Frazier, Foreman and Liston couldn't scare Ali, who could?

        I'll answer for him. power,,,,good work rate,,and youth. he should be able to wear hopkins down and stop him,,but then again hopkins has turned into a ruiz with all his hugging,,,,,so he may just hug and headbutt pav enough to survive the whole fight. I'd still favor pav by late tko though

          tyson always had problems with taller fighters that would lean on him...and he also had problems with pure boxers with good jabs...if you put the types of fighters that Mike had weaknesses against, you'd have ali...and with that, you'd have a UD win for Ali
          Ali also had trouble with short explosive fighter's..if Ali didn't mentally tear him apart before the fight I'd give it to Tyson by UD or KO.

          It's really to bad so many people cut Tyson up and act like he's a nobody. The man was the youngest heavyweight champion ever, unified the belts and saved boxing. He was a bigger draw than even ODLH.

          I think he makes the top 10, maybe at number 7 or 8. He would walk through a lot of other overrated champions, people just hate the guy because of his downfall, which is to bad - especially in a boxing community.
