tyson would have got ****d by ali

[Cash Cow]

Im a big Tyson fan and i believe that no heavyweight boxer in history would have beat a young, fit tyson including ali. If ali done the rope a dope with tyson i would quite gladly say that tyson would ve smashed his rib cage to pieces. You could argue that Foreman was a bigger hitter than tyson and ali took his punches (and maybe so) but big george threw single punches, was too slow , had no latteral movement, and just came in in straight lines, he did not have the brains to beat ali. A young tyson would nt have stopped moving his head creating angles for himself and throwing 5 or 6 punch combinations with lighting speed with great power in each punch. You only have to look at the problems joe frazier caused ali and him and tyson had similer styles though tyson being more explosive with either hand , more faster. so for me it would be a very painful night for ali.

I agree, the Cus trained Tyson would give Ali trouble. Ali wasnt hard to hit. I mean damn Frazier couldnt miss a right hand in those 3 fights. Tyson was a better combination puncher & a better body puncher than Frazier as well IMO.

You people comparing Tyson to Frazier are dead wrong.

First off, they don't fight the same way. Tyson tended to stay at mid-range and explode when he saw an opening, and was easy to clinch when he got close. Frazier was an inside fighter. He moved forward, put his head on his opponent's chest, and wailed away. That's what Frazier did that gave Ali so much trouble, that Tyson didn't do.

Second off, Frazier has more heart and mental toughness than Tyson ever did. Frazier was willing to take whatever beating he had to to get inside, because once he did it was usually game over. Tyson wasn't. Tyson would have been intimidated by Ali's insane confidence and the trash talk that came with it, whereas Frazier fed off it.

Just because Tyson and Frazier are similar in size, does not mean they fight the same or are the same, or that Ali would have the same troubles.

Tyson is AMAZING but Ali would have kicked his a** and even he would acknowledge that

Not to mention Frazier had much more stamina.

prime ali would have made kid dynamite look like kid firecracker.

How old are you and how long have you been following boxing?

I just want to know how long it took you to come to this conclusion. I was about 9 years old when I realised this.

I didn't start a thread on it. There was no internet.

Ali was a great fighter but Tyson getting ****d? Who is cornering Tyson? X named trainer or Cus?

If Cus was cornering Tyson their would be a definite gameplan.

Stop acting like Ali was some undefeated God. He has been beat IN HIS PRIME.

Ali would have prolly won in the later rounds but stop acting like Tyson is some kind of Chump.

What this guy said.

Ali would probably win if he just boxed him from the out side and kept him at a distance with his jab then again

Tyson had more head movement, more speed and power compared to Frazier

I think he could beat Ali ...
