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.
this guy says ali would beat a prime tyson

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 thoughComment

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.love prime tyson but Ali woulda psyched him out before the fight and woulda taken him to school
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
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.Last edited by them_apples; 08-19-2008, 11:46 PM.Comment
